If I had a nickel for every time an Iranian hardliner called for someones death... These guys always call for the deaths of their enemies. That's what they do.
And yes Minello, Christianity also creates this hard line. Look at the anti-abortion nuts out there. Do you think this isn't the same kind of nuttiness?

I hate dropping bombs on the plane. I am always afraid someone is going to hear one of my baritone toots. PS never eat the little noodle bowls they like to pawn off on people these days. That one will certainly keep you in the crapper for a while.

I want to know where the cop thought this would lead? And this party is one of the oddest ideas of Christmas the Js have exhibited.

I think the Korean psyche (whether NK or SK) is rather susceptible to gov't brainwashing. I have taught a lot of both Japanese and Korean students and the difference always cracks me up. The Japanese are for the most part apathetic about the history while the Koreans froth at the mouth with vitriol whenever the past rears its ugly head. They go as far as to vandalize classroom material to assert themselves, like destroying a map purchased by yours truly because it has Sea of Japan labeled. Very childish. I can only believe this to be from the brainwashing they receive from childhood. I mean, the males all need to go to the military and they have to grow up believing that 2 year period to be necessary. It also seems to breed the homophobia which is pervasive in Korea. They just hate soooo much. It is a militaristic state. They are constantly on a war footing. The gov't has to direct that at somebody, and they do. Today it is at text books and rock islands. Gotta keep the national psyche busy and full of anger. Wish there was an in between where neither nationalism nor apathy were the prevailing force.

I'm surprised he didn't just drive away.
Still, a woman kills her sister-in-law in a fit of rage because she felt insulted and gets nothing. By those standards, this guy should get a pat on the back and maybe a breakfast bought for him by the state.

Timorborder... I actually agree with you this time. Let him pay the price. I guess pot is another issue. Rich SmithinJapan. I agree with you too. J-Cop Crime would be a great section. Live by the Katano sword, die by the Katano sword. Not too PC though.

Note to the PoPo: Now that you have him, don't drink the tea, fall asleep or let him fool you with a point down the hall and a "What's that?" while he runs the other way. Keep your eyes on this slippery fish. Bring out all the tricks. Handcuffs, shackles, straight jackets... the works. DON'T LET HIM GO... AGAIN.
