Grow up.

… ALL agreed that she was murdered out of retaliation for the murder of a Korean prostitute by an American soldier a few months prior. I asked a friend about it, a soldier who at that time had been in Korea since 1980, and he said it’s was probably true. He said he’d never before seen a case where someone “eye-for-eyed” for murder, but it was typical for Koreans to retaliate against an innocent person that way.So, for example he said; if some GI beat the living hell out of a Korean guy, there was no doubt eventually some American was soon also going to get jumped and severely beaten. But since that soldier was murdered in 1994 I’ve never again heard of that form of retaliation. Maybe that soldier was the last innocent person to suffer that unwritten law, or maybe she was just murdered by a psycho and that idea of retaliation is a bunch of nonsense…who knows?

Wow…One of excellent pieces of Korean bashing, I am most impressed how you managed your old memory of story/rumor from this topic with a typical Korean style of ” 아님말고~” or “~카더라” (assume that you do understand these terminologies).

Wow…I guess you are also the one of people who believe in the dusty journalistic closet marked “weird Japan.” described by DAVID McNEILL .

WJK, with all my respects, I encourage you to take days off or a vacation to travel around Japan or any other country you might feel to explore more. Or else, please stop another statement with ” 아님말고~” or “~카더라” sentiment.

The Korean news story is based on a report from a US marketing research organization. You can see the original data in English here:

The methodology is not explained. In answer to your question about Chinese stats, the chart lists per capita spending at $27, less than 2% of the 2006 per capita income figure of $1,750 provided by the Chinese Embassy in the US.

Toru, anyway, production is way more in Japan.

Toru, can you confirm or dispel a myth I’ve always wondered about?

Here it is.

Is the Kimino for the woman really supposed to serve the purpose of outer garment and

It was so odd, when I heard it, but I’ll believe it if a Japanese person confirms it.

Hell, I’ll believe it even more if a Japanese person lies about it, and later I know for sure it’s the truth.

How will I confirm what’s truth?

Not sure about that one.

Maybe travel to Japan?

Reports such as this:

After the horrific story of Blackman finally broke, Social Democratic Party leader Mizuho Fukushima was one of several who pointed out that Asian women had been disappearing for years. “All of a sudden it was news when a white girl disappeared,” she told Time.

The magazines are, however, tame compared to the xenophobic ranting of the “blogosphere,” where rightwingers discuss how long it will take to reveal that Ichihashi, like Obara, is Korean.

while the Western press is busy demonizing JAPANESE men, makes the Japanese seem like clueless clusterfucktards to this Korean-American.
