criticism because the interpreter was too sensitive,) a lot of pride
for past achievements, etc. I think in this particular board, the
patriotic Chinese surpass the patriotic Koreans in terms of the number
of flame wars they start. The Koreans here are pretty mellow.

Hell, most of the threads in that board turns in flames. I dont have
a problem with national pride, but SOME Koreans just overdo it if you
know what I mean, like to the point where you think it's all starting
to get annoying....like this is unprecedented and that is unprecedented
(I supose being wedge against growing and I might add scary China and
economic superpower Japan is not a good thing, along with having
to deal with a maniac brother in North Korea).
Mainland Chinese seem to be arrogant in a different light - it's
more of a "we were once this great and now we are going to regain that
position" type stance. This is also very annoying and the ones I've
studied with during my university days - especially those from Shanghai
are downright up themselves. [/QUOTE]
true korea is pressured from all sides... thats why we need to be patriotic

Nah, if you want to see real flame wars just visit a real site about Taiwanese politics and watch the Chinese drop in every thread totally unrelated to the topic, saying something about how all Taiwanese will assimilated and how resistance is futile. (yes, I am a nerd...)
Oh wait, that's not that different from this forum! 'o'

you've never seen a flame war until you've been to enjoyjapan.. Korea vs. Japan
you'd have to be able to read Korean or Japanese to see it, but i suggest you stay away even if you can read either of them..
The Koreans here are pretty mellow. |
I'll show you mellow

We're not talking about actual wars dude. Besides, the flame wars are usually started as "fighting back" when provoked (and yeah, it's "provoked," not "revoked.")

I've seen them defend EVERYTHING that is anti Korean or somewhat critical of Korea, like issues on plastic surgery, dog eating etc. OTH, they do seem to get over the top with claims that Korean achievements are somewhat unprecedented and THAT great. I'm supportive or national pride, but I've always found Koreans whether in real life or on the web postings to be a tad too patriotic and somewhat arrogant?? Btw, I have no beef towards Koreans in general.

You also have to take into account the loggers too...Granted
deforestation is a bad thing, but the Loggers basically have no other
way to support themselves or their families...it's really a dilema.

What would happen when the rain forrest is gone is that we'll lose about 50% of earth's natural ability to absorb CO2. The result doesn't not bold well for the animal called humans.

Well it is now! Since you live in Brazil, and you are asian, you
have connections to some asian country, so therefore, since you are
asian, so must the country you live in!

Brazil is important because it has the hottest women in the world!!!
