Thanks. That’s what I get for relying on google to spell check.

I don’t want to be an ass, but I just can’t help it.

The preferred term is “surmised.”

To # 24,

Many people here at the ‘hole, in the comments section, predicted that the latest beef agreement, to let 30 month old or younger beef into the country, would still not make a lot of people happy. I was just acknowledging their forward thinking comments.

As many have correctly summized, the latest beef deal hasn’t stopped the protests,

I wonder why you added the words “As many have correctly summized”. Is it because you want to prove the point that Koreans are nothing but a “mindless mob”?

That’s ‘food product’, not ‘food market’.

#11 - There may be none left by the time you make it to the market. My guess is that this is going to be the hottest food market to hit the shelves in years.

Is Korea’s aggricultural minister giving the beef protesters the finger?

“I believe the Moody’s release is the most positive news for Korea in a long time. I have long said that citizens need a wake-up call to see that bejaviors have consequences. I have also said that the international community needs to notice such and accordingly put Korea on notice.

It’s a gift. But even so, is Korea prepaired to accept it as such and turn from blaming others to introspection? This remains doubtful.”

Since it’s been revealed that the PD Notebook show was complete crap, there is now an opportunity for Korean society to reflect on the entire beef situation and start to demand better of their media (and some elected officials) by using “PD” as a shining example of what not to do. And they could also improve domestic food safety standards by demanding that the recently “re-negotiated” import standards for US beef be applied to their domestic industries.
However, like mizar, I’m not very optomistic if recent media reports are anything to go by. While they condemn the lies and gross exaggerations as reported by “PD”, they still feel the protests themselves were justified.

Isn’t that crazy Yangban the head of the Korean Teacher’s Union or something. I remember seeing a picture of the KTU’s leader…he looked like a Yangban from what I remember.

Can’t wait for that beef to arrive. I’m gonna buy about 100lbs of the stuff. I’m gonna act proud about it too.

If I get mad cow so be it, at least I had freedom of choice.

If I do die, on way out, my middle finger will be raised indicating that Korea is number one in Asia.
