Hanaruwa To me this is ridiculous. Even though it was a very hard, rough time back then..we people no matter what nationality need to stop dwelling in the past and continue living during the present time so a war like that or any kind will not happen again. Well what about the harms they bring us now?

In my opinion, The US can be the ultimate enemy. I am an America. I don't like how most governments are ran, especially our government. I don't think that people who have served in the any branch of the military should be elected as the ruler(president) of the country. I say this because people who were in the military may have a grudge against another country for a war or something that happened a long time ago. And if they have a grudge, and find something that the other country does weird, then they might want to push that button.(nuclear bomb button)I say the US is the ultimate enemy because we have the power to destroy the world or even just countries several times over. I believe that if you make a country with that much power angry, then you just lost all help. If you did something, even if it was the slightest mistake, you most likely wouldn't be our allies any more. You would be our enemy. Peolple seem to think that the US is the strongest nation in the world. It may have the weapons, but it does not have the brains. Yes there are smart people, but they aren't smart like Koerea, China, or Japan. The reason I say this is because the US is not being strict in education like it should be. The other countries that I stated are more strict in thier childerens education. The US just has weapons, but the people who are in control of those weapons are not that smart and would use them whenever they feel like it. One of the other reasons that the US in in Iraq, other than to take out Sadam was to take their oil. Iraq is rich in oil. The US wants Iraq for its oil, hence why we are still in Iraq. I have alot more to say but because it is getting late here I have to go and watch Family Guy. Bye. I will talk more on the subject later.

Welp, these days pretty much everybody can blow eachother up. Its been that way for a while. Anyway, as a US citizen I feel greatful for all the wealth I am given, but guilty about taking it. If I fight against it I will be punished & I'm too selfish to risk that. I'm considering using the priveleges given to me by America until I'm through with college & then suceeding from the country. Not a very honorable thing to do, but when I become a voting adult I'm going to feel obliged to shape the American image--I'd rather take the easy way out & live somewhere where the government does not have the strength to swing it's peepee around--& I think people should think: If, hypothetically speaking, Africa had the power America has right now, how would they use it? Odds are the same way America does. Take wealth from others to fuel the illusion of an innocent and happy life for citizens who choose to or have been brought up to be ignorant about the dirt on their hands.

I wouldn't really consider any1 an enemy, except if they disrespected us by terrorism acts. Im not really sure what happened between Korea and Japan. but all i know is that, the past is the past. We cant change history or none of that, but we can make this world a better place. See how multiple countries helped out the Tsunami attack last year? At least every country donated more then 1,000,000 worth of there cultured money. I personally thought that was incredible. But yea, just dont take 2 much pride in urself, 2 much pride can cause conflict...you know what i mean?

The united states are all up in S.Korea's Grill like they own it. Even though they were our allies during the war. Japan is just a greedy country, but very successful. Japan had us in chains and in sweat shops all that crap. The closer the enemy then the more aware you gotta be. The united stats is powerful. They already know south korea by map and they live there like its nothing. Japan on the other hand may live there but so do Koreans in Japan. I think now since both countries are together they have no use of fighting. But I think US and Japan are both great counties by themselves. US has the military power and Japan has the tech'd up gadgets and such. Korea well... they got... hmmm... Good qualities. Either way No one is OUT to get South Korean.. just North Korea is what we gotta worry about.. and the other middle eastern countries.

I'm still young, so I don't know that much about the Korean history, because my parents don't talk about it. I do know that the Japanese textbooks are badd. They put all the good stuff in them, and not the bad things they did to other people. -Shrugs- I'm American, and I presonally don't like our government, and our President. Everything he decides, or chooses, goes wrong. Literally. Well, I'm off now!

I find this a rather bias thread.
I am aware of the whole "island" incident where the Japanese gov. is planning to occupy the Dokkdo islands I believe in order to gain control of the East Sea in the Pacific Ocean region.
And I must admit that is very absurd that such Japanese people would even think that they have the right to steal our own lands yet again in order to gain more power of the seas...but wake-up call...not all Japs are willing to do this.
It's mostly the older generation Japs that have this old fashioned one track mind...but the younger generation of Japanese people are pretty much understanding as a whole and some are even teaming up w/ Koreans to ban the island occupation.
As for America....I don't see what you're complaining about. I live there after all, and they're the ones who helped us in the Korean war are they not. Though they might've been a semi-cause for the separation of the two Koreas...Americans were trying their best to help us...no harm intended.
So, I don't think it's fair to overgeneralize America and Japan in this way.
I fail to answer your question.

What's with the discrimination? scream
I'm half Korean and half American and I love Japanese things.
Living in Korea, I see all these American protests and it can get rather dangerous. The younger Korean generation don't like the US military in Korea but the older generation are grateful because they remembered how we helped them against the North Koreans in the war. Plus, I find the US thing silly because a lot of American things are used in Korea. (the fashion, the music, the food, etc)
If there's a S Korean enemy, it should be North Korea. You wouldn't beleive all the military cautions we have to take in case North Korea invades (gas masks, Neo Kits, you name it)

In today's ever flattening world, fear is what our true enemy is. When fear rises we lost trust. We trust that the person sitting next to us on the train isn't wearing c-4 packed sneakers. When trust dwindles and fear rises, we put up walls to protect ourselves and in doing so move backwards in our development.

Either way No one is OUT to get South Korean.. just North Korea is what we gotta worry about.. and the other middle eastern countries. How are the US "all up in S.Korea's Grill like they own it"? please explain. US don't act like they own us! Man what's wrong with you!? I reckon there's more Koreans in US than Americans in Korea. By the way, the US are still our allies. Don't come here and post s**t like that when you don't even know this simple stuff. You say Japan is a greedy country? You know, I'm a Korean, and I'm proud of it, but I'll be honest, Korea is a pretty greedy country too. Oh and by the way, what makes you think Japan is a greedy country? If there is a good reason for you to think that, state it, because you don't sound reasonable at the moment. "Japan had us in chains and in sweat shops all that crap". That doesn't make sense. From my point of view, you're tring to say that Japan treats US badly? Get a life! If I'm mistaken, don't blame me, because your english skills are very poor for someone who would be trying to say something like that. Dude how does the US live in Korea like it's nothing!? Give us some reasons here! You just post all that bullshit without any proof and without any good reason! What you said back there is pretty offensive. I don't know how many, but heaps, I tell you, heaps of Koreans live in USA, but does USA say s**t like "They live in America like it's nothing"!? NO!! Please, in future, if you want to prove your point about things like this, give more reasons and some evidence, and maybe you should fix your english grammar skills.

Japan is harming Korea in "numerous different ways" today? Well then, please, explain the "numerous different ways" they are harming us with.

._.; Everyone is losing touch with their own culture. But, it is odd. Because after a while, it will become a fad to become in touch with your culture. Then, it will happen again. At least those fads tend to happen in America. And using enemy was such a strong word. Might have provoked a few knee jerk reactions.
