Sharing the anti-FTA love

This somehow makes me fell better (Yonhap):

A group of anti-globalization activists staged a rally in central Seoul Monday to denounce the South Korean government for pursuing a free trade agreement (FTA) with the European Union, as the fourth round of talks continues.

You see, the anti-gloablization folks aren’t on the streets just for the “Yankee go home” angle.

    And don’t forget Jewy Jewenstein. They don’t like him much either.

    At least Koreans love their Asian brethren. There’s nothing but sweetness and light for China and Japan.

    The people AND the money…

    That’s some good news. We’ve been dissed too long in Korea. People there have had the idea that US capital is bad and European less bad, but now our true color is finally coming into light. Listen to Heo Yeong-gu of DLP as quoted in Voice of the People:

    “Among foreign capital in Korea, most problems come not from American or Japanese but from European capital. After agriculture is in ruins, problems get worse if European capital comes into weak areas such as services.”

    They are apparently unaware of the extent to which European corporations have invested in Korean companies.

    Ruh roh. Does the KOR-US FTA cover kiddie diddlers? First John Mark Karr and now this dude, it’s almost as if a pattern is developing: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21307230/

    On the bright side, congratulations Korea on becoming the HUB OF PEDOPHILIA. All the hard work you’ve put into handing out teaching visas to anyone or anything with a pulse and a “degree” has finally paid off!

    Surely the Catholic Church deserves a bonus for their consulting work in making the Pedophilia Hub dream a reality. Always hire consultants with the most experience, I say.

    Amen.

    Is there any one sociopolitical group of people that Koreans don’t hate?

    Anti-globalization group = Korean Commie group.

    If they don’t like foreigners, foreign music, foreign movies, imports and exports, they can go live in North Korea.

    Kim Jongil always harp on this line. They say that they are the true patriots by keeping bloodline pure. And, keeping Korean tradition and heritage.

    If they want to shut the country down and starve to death, they can do it. And, they have been doing exactly that for last fifty years.

    Look what happen to them. Poverty and starvation. Low technology and poor medical system, education system, transportation system and stupid people.

    Isolationists suck.

    I don’t get it. If North Korea is successfully carrying on an isolationist regime that causes famine and death to be pure, and there are people down here in the capitalist South that want something of the same, then why don’t they all just love each other together?

    What is keeping reunification under the Dear Leader from taking place? Is it really just the USFK presence?
