		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;‘would america assist korea?’ question from brenden

yes, it would. so would japan. they won’t send soldiers but they’ll send arms and intelligence. nothing better than a proxy war.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I'm not convinced this is true. The choice to America would be Los Angeles, San Francisco or Seattle for Pyongyang. Are Americans really ready to risk a nuclear exchange with China in order to not Hurt Korean Pride™? I say not.

By the way, you're much better when you're not in shrill Race-Defender mode.</description>

Okay, that was a nice double negative.  Nobody who reads my blog should take me as an authority.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;"She’s basically saying cook everything in butter or lard."&lt;/i&gt;

Please go reread my post.  I explained that nutrition expert George Mateljan, who founded the Health Valley company and ran it for thirty years before selling it off, recommends AGAINST cooking in oil.  I then stated that I OCCASIONALLY cook or bake with butter, unrefined peanut oil, or coconut oil.  I mentioned lard and tallow as examples of saturated fats that stand up well to cooking, but I do not cook with them.  I am somewhat anonymous, and nobody who reads my blog should not take me as an authority.  That's why nearly every post has links to nationally recognized authoritative sources.  I hope people will read the links and decide for themselves.

&lt;i&gt;"but I have a mistrust of govt. nutrition stemming from my bodybuilding days where they were dead wrong about protein intake"&lt;/i&gt;

You were a body-builder?  BTW, I see from your IP info that you don't live too far from me, Sumo.</description>

		<description>Liberal Japan has a scathing analysis of the Comfort Women Resolution, and makes some interesting points on the acceptance of forced prostitution in Asia, and equates US and South Korean military base prostitution with the comfort women system.  He also thinks the US is a fascist state because of the resolution.  Any interesting takes on this?

		<description>'and if China is running the show they’ll just install a puppet regime and it’ll be Tibet all over again....' michael

uh, no, we won't have tibet all over again. korea doesn't have a religion that preaches non violence at all costs. what's happening to the tibetens is their own fault since they won't lift a finger to fight back. if you think koreans are just going to sit around watching china gobble up half of korea, you're absolutely wrong. there will be war. and the chinese will lose.

'would america assist korea?' question from brenden

yes, it would. so would japan. they won't send soldiers but they'll send arms and intelligence. nothing better than a proxy war.

		<description>WJK, just don't know anymore, but I have a mistrust of govt. nutrition stemming from my bodybuilding days where they were dead wrong about protein intake.  Now I need to adjust to a civilian style body and its pissing me off.  So much easier when I all I did was drink MET/RX shakes.  But man I love Korean fried chicken.  Damn it!</description>

		<description>sumo, not everything she says is correct.  Pick that back up from your trash can.

I don't know about the bleach, but I'm sure it's been substantially tested.

She's basically saying cook everything in butter or lard.

Not what according to my knowledge.  Although, I'm not willing to put myself out there writing health food stuff, PUFAs are good and Olive Oil is great and Canola is deemed a good quality oil.  Good enough that fast food restaurants won't use it.</description>

		<description>Paul H.--I'm not a military expert, but the landmines in the DMZ are not all marked, after 60 years a lot of the markers will be gone, and the floods on the Imjin River have shifted some of them.

Like I said, if S.K. is in control China will likely just secure its border, and if China is running the show they'll just install a puppet regime and it'll be Tibet all over again.

"Don't you think the intense visibility of the world's video cameras will weaken ROK poltical will to forcibly repatriate northerners?" Uh, no.</description>

		<description>No fries at all?  I thought you could eat it in moderation.  Like I should not eat a piece of fried chicken once in a while?</description>
