Me! I'm pure South Korean. I was born there but moved when I was 3. I went to New Zealand until I was 9. I then came here. Wow! I'm really shocked at how people think South Korea is like the north. In reality we have a cool country. It's like Japan only it is bright and reeeeaaaallly noise even at night. Koreans are noctural lol. We have beautiful mountains and very smart student. Students in Korea goes to school and tutoring everyday but Sunday. We also have many good sport teams. Like we won the Fifa Soccer 2002 and got 4th place. In Baseball International GAme we got 4th place too. The only problem is overpopulation. Koreans don't smell morons. Other big and powerful country doesn't recognize us because they don't bother to tell the others how mordenized we became. America even tried stopping us from cloning. We Koreans have suffered many racial discrimination with Japan, America, and North Korea. Sigh.

I have been living in South Korea now for about 3 years and it is strange because North Korea seems only a threat to the United States. At the moment North Koreans (buk-han, in Korean) are suffer from a lack of food and I believe a low birth rate. It is also common practice within Korean culture for the men to postulate themselves and act tougher than they really are. \n\nI think that if we talk more and have a lot more of the bi-lateral talk with China, and Japan as well as massage the ego the Dear Leader I am sure that nothing much will happen. \n\nCharging in like what happened in Iraq, will only breed more war. The Korean issue is one that take some time and it will be diplomacy that wins in the end.

Yes, Koreans in North Korea and South Korea both speak Korean.  However, since the countries have been separated for some time and haven't had much contact, you can expect that some new dialectical differences are developing.  However, my guess is that probably some different dialects of Korean were present in different regions even before the country got split up.

hell no, we take pride in our voluntary fighting force, vietnam taught us that our fighting effectiveness is hindered by inducting pukes who wouldnt serve to save their own skin. they are a liability, not an asset.\n\nThe koreans are different. Their homes are sighted by Communist artillery, they have a patriotic duty to serve and protect their homes. American homes are sighted by terrorists for destruction and conquest, but the liberal pukes in this country have convinced us to disregard this threat, and to start defunding the military and focus on prosecuting people for engaging in the war. the average joe doesnt realize the threat from the islamo-fascists, because they are not as plainly visible as the hardened communist artillery bunkers pointed at their cities, it is a shadowy threat that we face, and if they cant see the threat, then they are less inclined to fight it. I thought 9-11 woke people up, I was mistaken.

Europe baby yeah! It's got gorgeous swedish girls, millennia of culture, different languages, french food, italian food, russian vodka, cathedrals, football, wildlife, everything old and new.\n\nWhat has america got but a bunch of self-centered yanks who still think Africa is a country and dont give a damn about the rest of the world, and a bunch of "elite" sports that look suspiciously similar to european sports?

its because of the korean war. americans saved the koreans from being taken over by communists and of coarse if your countries about to get owned, your gonna think that the americans a right about thier "god". and now almost EVERY korean is christian and now its turned into a badwagon group. im korean so i would know.

Well, considering that both North and South Korea still have their weapons aimed at each other, the window of opportunity just isn't there.  The terrain is god aweful, it's extremely cold and hot as hell.  The US forces alreay stationed there would take a huge hit and the capital of South Korea would cease to exist.  So lets hope no one gets too cavalier and lets diplomacy work things out.  If we're applauled by the loss of life with the war on terror, wait and see what happens if the Korean war resumes.  A little side not, the Korea's are technically still at war.  They have been under a cease fire for about fifty years, hence their weapons are still aimed at each other.

My guess would be NO. The whole South east Asia is different from other parts of the world. They are very much capable of settling their own matters (a bit more violent). These countries are only 50 year old so they need time to learn how to govern.

Check out North Korea, has been implicated in drug distribution, counterfeiting and of course, proliferation of nuclear weapons and propulsion technology.  Latest issue of Asia Times is implicating North Korea's shady activities in weakening US and South Korea relations.

Basically it was a tie. When the North Koreans invaded South Korea (with the aide of the Chinese) they were able to advance all the way south and had just a small area that they could not penetrate. From there American troops with the South Korean Army and their allies were able repel the invaders back to the area where they origanally started. This is now the demilitarized zone and separates North and South Korea.
