  • no more beef in korea but only dog meat this is korean

  • @thinkinrich Dude your not funny you uneducated unoriginal piece of shit.

  • @Kaos582 Koreans do eat dog and has no balls to standup to North Korea.

  • Educate yourself about the quality of U.S. beef. The world in general is beginning to realize that food is big business & corporations that deal with this essential need are influencing numerous national gov'ts in order to legally push through foods that are basically unhealthy. Watch, The World According To Monsanto, which is available on YouTube for proof of this. Seriously contemplate what is going on in the world behind closed doors, then decide what you NEED to do about it. People power!

  • Cow shit eating Americans!

  • we need to dump more of our tainted beef over there since we don't eat it anymore...LMAO.

  • Theres is nothing wrong with American beef gosh

  • i say we pack our bags and our beef and go home.. if the south koreans want food let them go to kim jong ill. unappreciative bastards.

  • Good, stop leeching off our taxes and get the fuck out of our country. Most of us who are sensible enough to know that American bases in Korea is just there to pass off worthless unemployed idiots in our country to leech off our tax money and do absolutely nothing but cause trouble, want you fuckers out of here.

    We don't need America's help with North Korea; our military can stand firm on its own and we have plenty of allies from other nations that'll help us.

  • I bet Koreans regret this stupid DEMO now.

  • No we still hate America and their stupid everything. From George Bush to Subprime banks and Iraq War. You should be the one regretting.

  • you koreans are low lifes plain and simple, the korean people in general are not good looking at all. they have long jaws like J Leno, their woman are filled with std's, and their products are cheap garbage just like there people.. And as for welfare, the only jobs south korea has ever had was getting on their knees and sucking Japanese generals, and American soldiars cocks for a living. so go to hell you worthless korean pesant.

  • First off we've been raping the Japenisuckers for centuries until they illegal binded our country into a treaty by assassinating our leader. (you clueless dumb cock eating retard) Second American soldiers are paid with our taxes to live our soil; they're worthless idiots that can't be employed in societies.

    In the case of appearances. Koreans are fit with no definitive traits on our facial structures - that too is also obvious you retarded cock eating dumb bitch.

  • Unlike the average American counterpart that weights approximately 400 pounds with 5 layers of chins, stained with taco sauce or ketchup. Jaws is not the least of American children's issues where 5 years olds are having diabetic symptoms. ROFLMAO YOU FAT CUNTS.

    PS: Learn ENGLISH BETTA An average Korean speaks, writes and reads English to a better extent than the illiterate retards of America. How fucking sad is that.

  • you hate america and white people so much, that is why your woman dye their hair blond... your countries president commits suicide because korea is such a shitole. lee myun bak is obama's waterboy. I hate korea and wish death to korea. koreans are bums, and your government had to hire america to defend it. you want to talk about sad? that is sad. korean woman are ugly ! the men in your country have more balls then i do..because i wouldnt fuck one of them ugly monkey faced cunts.

  • We don't hate Caucasians in general. We just hate Americans that happen to be obnoxious, repressive and hypocritical. And women who are white dye their hair blonde, and blonde hair is not the popular trend in Korea it's more redish brown.

    None of our president had ever committed suicide, and Korea is a better shit hole than America. Our government does not stoop to America; in fact we demand America the fair FTA treaties while the fat bastards ask for more.

  • During the Korean War, we asked the UN for aide, and we couldn't care less if the American military left our soil now. We have over a hundred allied nations that want Korea's economy to continue to develop, so their nations' profit will not be lost. And our miltary force's modern weaponry can outstand North Korea without a prboelm.

    As I said, America has absolutely no rights to insult others on appearance with 40% of their population looking like white fat albert.

  • And no matter how much you'd wish to flatter yourself that you would be rejecting Korean girls; even if you grovel before them, they wouldn't even touch you. Korean girls love tall, handsome and intelligent men.

    I don't know about your appearance but your insecurity that insults others' appearance makes it quite apparent of how hidious you are.

    And also your inability to use the English language to a degree higher than a 4th grader is also evident to your stupidity.

  • It's sad to know people like you still exist

  • @1978mackdaddy

    lol japanese girls are the ones that all work as a prostitute, stripper, AND ESPECIALLY PORN STARS

    if you look up Asian porn your almost guaranteed they are japanese.

  • @RiceRockers hey dude...that was the thing(Not joking)that I wasn't expected to hear so...

    FUCK YOU YOU AMERICAN BASTARD(not America just that bastard)...

  • Comment removed

  • shut up dumbass

  • in order to overthrow the current korean government, the leftist lied about american beef. they said, american beef is dangerous because of mad cow disease. it is a lie.

  • but beef is not the only thing that koreans will bring from the US, because of the FTA, MB is planning on bringing the american health system and importing more US goods that will cause no benefit to the korean country whatsoever. the beef is only a catalyst to a greater disaster

  • You are right. The person who made the lies has been dealt with. What this did, however, is show how much of an anti-american/foreign feeling there is in South Korea. Horrible! Which leads people to the question: Why did we help them? Korean media is crap and they don't even investigate most stories before printing them. That's how stupidity like this can even exist. imagine the families of the US soldiers that fought for Korea's independence. Thanks for helping us, we hate you! Go home yankee!

  • yea...that's true..korea is the worst contry i've been...the food sucks...the people sucks also..

  • Can you please stop trolling in every single video about Korea?

    Also, many Koreans hate on the US just as much as the French do. I would have thought that you'd want to be friends with them?

  • the korea food is one of the best in the world.

  • such overreaction

  • In this world, we do not only cope with those we like,but also ones we dislike and disagree.This is why we vote and majority wins, which is what democracy is about. I think protest is good only within the range of validity and true sanity. People shouldn' t make such decisions against the outcome made between the agreements between the law.That's a threat to the government system.

  • This IS democracy - just Korean-style.

    You have to understand democracy in Korea is barely over 20 years old. There is a history of mistrust and protest against political leaders, stemming from the years under the old military junta.

    Nevertheless, I thought the protests were pretty ridiculous. It was no doubt fuelled by the prevailing anti-American sentiment in Korea.

  • Well actually this isn't that ridiculous because mad cow disease has a very long incubation period so no one knows how many people are actually infected. Also this is a very mature democracy in comparison to America. Atleast they speak out and organize in Korea which is what democracy is about, active involvement of the people in all aspects of government.

  • If you disagree with the science you can take it up with the international authorities. Domestic American measures have been deemed satisfactory.

    And I don't consider Korea a mature democracy at all. There's not a lot of respect for differences of opinion and people tend to be more uninformed and uncritical than in Western democracies.

    And the US beef protests aren't really evidence of 'active involvement' in democracy - rather, I think it shows a lack of respect for democratic process.

  • I don't underand though why people demand the president to quit. Would that be possible? Doesn't Korea have their own Bill of Rights? If not, the government system is very unprofessional. It's appears childish to protest against decision already made b/c the voting system and its outcome can't be altered one day to the next. Maybe rather these people are protesting against the voting system, not Lee, Myung Bak. They're seeking after a system to change their president whenever they want to.

    I support South Korea. ^^

    Fantastic !!

  • 저거 동영상 마지막에 나오는 고기 미국산 고기아니였거든?? 마치 미국산고기처럼 방송하네? 그리고 미국인들이 뭔가 착각하나본데 우리가 무조건 미국산고기 반대하는게 아니라 너네들이 먹는 24개월인가 26개월인가 고기를 원하는거야 너네 동물사료도 사용금지된 30개월이상 고기를 우리보고 먹으라고하니깐 이러는거잖아.

  • it's funny some vegetarian monks were there to protest.

  • North Korea decided to occupy all land of South Korea.

    Know, Love and Support the "Little Pebble" & "Father Jean-Marie".

    If you do this, you can change tragic future of South Korea.

  • i was there when this happened..they just didnt want the american beef (which is said to be bad, have mad cow disease or w/e) in their country and the leader was going against the ppl's wishes

  • They are protesting because United States is using its political power to force South Korea to open its market to US beef.

  • Wait this is all about mad cow disease?

    In the last 10 years about 200 people have died of the disease out of 6 billion.

    To get it you would have to eat the raw brain or spine of a cow.

    These people are just angry about the state of the world and need something to focus their anger on.

  • US food products are poisonous crap and must be boycotted.

  • Yeah that will help world peace.

  • Maybe we should try to sell some beef to India instead, oh wait, even they know that shits bad for you.

    A large percentage of people in the U.S. are discovering they have colon cancer along with fat gut full of rotting hormone laden meat that been stuck inside of them since a barbecue in 92'.

    WE AMERICANS are OVERFED and UNDERNOURISHED. We should take some advice from Korea and protest the things we disagree with, rather then takin it up the Beefhole.

  • good god do these people have half a brain us beef is some of the best in the world we have passed legeslation to stop the use of the "recycled" feed the meat is perfectly safe i eat it all the time damn near raw

  • had ANY ONE of YOU replyers,, have thought before insulting koreans, that the beef that KOREA is IMPORTING is "DIFFERENT" FROM THE BEEF THAT ARE SOLD IN THE DOMESTIC U.S.????????????

  • Comment removed

  • i did a tour in South Korea. i hated it. fuck korea

  • I am not saying this as front, because on the personal level i get along well with Koreans. But what is this beef protest all about? Because there has never been any case of mad cow disease in the U.S.A. International Trade is a two-way street. We benefit from many products from Korea and people and consumers in Korea, i hope, will likewise benefit from cheaper and healthy beef imports from our country.

  • Koreans are so rude and vulgar

    Oh my god please don't say so rude words

    No manners people....

  • hmm Dokd0Nippon

    and who are u judge the whole of koreaa simply by reading these comments... should i say that all japanese people hate the environment? and kill off endagered whales just beacuse the japanses crave whale?

    OR maybe i should say that the japanese are all rapist because of the comment below made by dokdonippon

    and to state that koreans have no manners? know this ur comment is racist and you are simply a racist

  • As if you have met every single Koreans, twat...

  • would rather starve, then eat meat that contains a disease

  • this is not only about the cow import

    and fear of mad cow disease.

    they are protesting against corrupt government

    who try to take control over the court, police and the media.

    President Lee is a liar and only cares about

    his powers.

    He really should be impeached

  • my coutrymen have no idea what they are doing. For once in my life im gonna call my own nation STUPID FUCK. AMERICA has the toughest most thorough laws that protect food distribution(FDA,etc). In Korea we have so many food and products being marketed that are pretty much POISONED but OUR government dont do shit about it for some reason.

    Fake dry pepper powders by coloring sawdust red. Our gov? dont do shit. Putting melanin compound in snacks for kids? None

    AND YET KOREANS DONt DO NOTHING...

  • I agree with you. When a Korean is infected with the mad cow disease they have a 70% chance of dieing, as opposed to westerners who only have a 10% chance of dieing. It is sad that your new president is so inept. Not to mention, the Korean Won has plummeted. Some of my university friends are leaving because of the poor Korean economy.

    Btw, nice English skills. I've been tutorin Koreans for awhile and you seem to be better than most :D

  • Lol gooks are sleepwalkers?

  • oh my god. you do realise that Americans have lots of LEGAL poisons in their food. FDA allows things like aspartame which has been linked to cancer.

    i'm sure your government it shit, as are most of them. that's what i've come to realise. but the food in korea is generally awesome cause you actually eat stuff which is more natural and FRESH and generally not contaminated with certain chemicals which are actually legal in the US.

  • You cant argue shit... you dumb fuck think Korea is better and safer in food because the food is more FRESH....lmfao... How old are you?

    tally up all the issues of food distribution in Korea VS USA

    Compare the regulations/law and order of food in Korea VS USA

    There you go.

  • cheers for the mature response without freaking out and calling me a dumb fuck? oh wait... how old r u?

    the point i was trying to make is that fresher food is better... yes. but it doesn't change the fact that cows and other animals in the US pumped full of hormones and other shit which is bad. i was just making the point that legal poisons like aspartame are more common in the US than in Korea.

    regulations and laws don't necessarily mean anything unless they regulate well.

  • "Mad Cow" thing is used solely for fear tactics. Purposely making people scared to use them as pawns in a propaganda campaign.

    Only one thing is at stake: imports hurting local business. But guess what? Korean car imports are hurting North American domestic car industry.

    I don't wish for people to be poor, but you have to play fairly, and Korea is cheating.

    Don't import beef? Well then let's stop importing Korean cars then.

  • .. I don't really understand the point of these protests. Any intelligent, educated person should know that the chance of getting Mad Cow Disease is so slim, that it is near "impossible". Especially since Korea never has had a report of Mad Cow Disease. So I don't get why such a well educated nation, would become so crazed over a near impossilitiy... strange..

  • This is caused by the religion of the president, which is Christianity. even though there are many Christians in south Korea, there is an equal number of anti-Christians. '

    Also, there are many people in South Korea that are anti USA as well, as they believe that the USA military is staying in South Korea to have power over Asia. Another problem is that the president of South Korea is very fond of USA which many people in South Korea disagree with. i personally believe this is just stupid.

  • well it is true that the US wants all the bases in korea to have power in asia. that is fact.

    you think it's to protest themselves? lol

    the current US governments are not ones to be fond of. people are right to protest in korea in my opinion.

  • Some Koreans are not happy unless they have something to protest and can blame the USA or Japan for whatever is frightening or bothering them.

  • the dumb americans need to learn that they do not own this forum and need to speak to others with courtesy, respect and dignity. their spreading of lies and false accusations demonstrate how depraved they are and give america a very bad name.

  • Who gives a shit? so what 100,000 people don't want US beef, understandable. Korean Beef hasn't had a case of mad cow, the Korean people find no need of US beef. Its not a Anti-US protest. Get your homework done, there's not room for ignorance in this world

  • uh I think the beef protests have much more to do with the proposals to ban dog meat and the competion between dog farmers and beef. The dog breeders are in trouble with the beef industry. Dogs for meat sell for $200.00 each. 2/3 of Koreans eat dog meat. 1/3 are regular dog eaters.

  • I'm not sure where your getting your numbers but this protest has nothing to do with dog meat.. it had to do with the saftey and health of the general public concerns over US Beef

  • ya right. I looked up the figures. go do your own search.

  • Like i said, I was in South Korea in June- July, what I said is pretty accurate

  • Also, this has to do with the new president "Lee Myung Bak" nicknamed the bulldozer. They don't like the way he is running the country right now. I was in South Korea couple months ago. And you shouldn't go judging Koreans that they eat dog meat because I've met plenty of Koreans that don't eat it, be smart.

  • on third of Koreans won't eat dogs..

  • This protest isn't about the issue of Koreans that eat dogs.

  • safety of the general public? there is 3 people in the world that have the disease and 2 arent even from USA beef.

  • This is mostly about protecting dog meat markets. Dogs are cheaper to raise and bring in much more money per pound. Besides they can even steal the dogs.

  • trust me it is not mostly because of dog meat markets

  • ok. strike out "mostly". I am sure Koreans have lots of reasons to protest. Actually USA beef is not that good because of the use of hormones, Steroids, antibiotics, chemicals, etc. So grow your own beef.

  • Import European!!!

  • AlJazeera yep they love supporting terroists.

  • so does America, why do you think Muqtada Al Sadr stopped fighting Americans? do you really believe he declared a cease fire because he sees what you are doing as a noble cause? You've given him BILLIONS to stop fighting Americans but Fox will never tell you that

  • billions? rofl. no. stop making up stupid lies every news group in the world would get on that story lol. also it was the british that came to some agreements in iraq. Billions rofl. dumbass.

  • You guys don't get it

    They're simply refusing 30month or older US beef which is PROVEN to be highly RISKY for BSE(mad cow disease parts)

    Japan imports only 20month or younger, Mexico 24month or younger beef (for example)

    why should Korea take risk when others don't?(Actually korea is first to lift ALL restrictions on US beef after mad cow case in US 2003)

    Why did US govt ban canadian beef over 30months old in July, 2008 when mad cow was found there?

  • These retard protesters are acting like the U.S is intentionally sending old beef to kill the Koreans...

  • js83//

    nope. those protestors are asking strict rule like Japan, Mexico etc. instead of lifting up all bans.... This isn't Anti-US protest, but a anti-Lee Myung Bak (L.M.B.)(new prez) protest. their main slogan= MB OUT

  • It's no secret that many native koreans have hatred and are anti-US...yes this was a protest against president Lee...but it was also an anti US protest...it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

  • js83/

    You may say whatever you want since those are your opinion and assumptions. Im just talking out of facts from the govt report and the rally organizers saying it isnt anti-us. anyways, anti or pro us rally who cares.

  • Assumptions? are you denying that there is no anti US movement going on in Korea? do you even know what's going on over there? actually it matters whether its an anti or pro us...because eventually the US is gonna get tired of all the bitching and moaning from the koreans...I wonder how the natives would respond if the NK invated and the US wasn't backing them up.

  • js83//

    when did i say there's no anti-us group in Korea? They're in every country, small or large. duh

    Read my post again, what i said, from reading reports from and protestor organization, is that THIS protest has nothing to do with antius, but with anti-lee.

    ok? READ before you try to reply.

  • thats my bday!

  • Korea imported 26 tons of candles from Japan this year. The amount that they bought is approximately 10 times bigger than that of the usual year. If you plot the amount of the candles consumed a year against the time, you can see how many demos are held in Korea at the year. Very funny people!

  • I'm South Korean, and I don't understand why there are so many protesters. I mean, the Mad Cow thing only happened once, there is basically a 1 in a million chance of getting it, so why is everyone freaking out so much?

  • Ok let me make things clear:

    Korea wants better beef from the US so they don't get mad cow disease. And meat in korea is very important cuz people eat thousands of pounds of beef each day. Thousands of people are protesting to the new president cuz the president is practically making the desicions by himself. Most importantly, the US imports better beef to Japan (also to lots of other countries), which is only life 5 ft from Korea!! Korea thinks its unfair.

  • It looks more like the Koreans still have alot of hatred against the U.S...for whatever reason, I don't know...I'm a korean american...and the natives are embarassing to watch sometimes...

  • u are just a betrayer.

    shut fuck ur mouth!

  • Fuck you. I'm just speaking the truth.

  • I see how you Koreans are. You are typical of filthy rude Koreans with no respect. Go eat your dogs. Chow!!!

  • If you are different from the others that is good. We have Korean tenants and they are assholes. I thought they were nice cause they would insist I eat with them. But they take tools without telling me and don't return them. They let thier 15 cats crap and pee where I work and refused to cage them until the job is over. They have three vicious dogs that harrass me constantly and accused me of making the dogs bark. The one sweet dog they have is constantly abused by the daughter.

  • Yeah...I try to have an open mind...unlike some other retards that's posting on this page...

  • Anyway, this protesting US beef event is really ridiculous.

    The most funny thing is that in fact many Korean customers actually love US beef.

    So, that is the whole procedure:

    (a) they protest

    (b)and then get hungry

    (c) so they goto eat US beef, and they can get energy. Then, they can go back to (a) to protest.....

  • I told everyone the beef protests were wrong. Every Korean will now buy and enjoy US beef.

  • The US troops are in Korea to protect the millionares from getting lynched by the citizens and NK..

  • The people that are organizing anti-US protests are The Korean PROGRESSIVE Party. They want to overthrow Lee Myung Bak's government. Their ultimate goal is reunifcation of the Koreas and the removal of US troops in Korea. Propagandabuster you say "let's boycott Korean products in the US?" well then, you will only be hurting the full throttle capitalist Koreans that are Pro-US, exaclty what the Progressives want..

  • Stop bitching about your president who is upholding the personal rights of the citizens of South Korea! FOOLS!

    We don't need governments to tell us what we can't eat. Make your own educated decisions, but make them for yourself.

  • XavierLax//

    Again, you don't know how much food contains beef, even ramen soups contain them. It's nearly impossible to track/check everything contained in the food by the consumers. And if disease occurs, it happens years later.

    And don't think just by having small amt, it wouldn't be dangerous. BSE is protein; even 0.01mg of them can get you infected.

    Explain WHY japan is only importing 20mo or younger US beef along with heavy restrictions.

  • If you are afraid of mad cow or simply don't like America there is a very very easy solution: don't buy American beef. Stop wasting your time protesting a free market economy like idiots.

    This isn't just about beef. These people are protesting others personal rights to eat what they want, which is wrong.

  • XavierLax. Maybe americans should remember the anti-americans protests in korea when North Korea attacks thier little country. We should just pull out and watch the bloodshed. Quit frankly, I'm tired of our US soldiers protecting the crybaby country of korea.

  • South Korea is a part of region in China.

    Cockroach South Korean who steals Japanese territory by slave's position

  • Wrong.

    In history, part of north Korea had been China's territory for some time. Also, part of north China had been Korea's territory for some time.

    But right now, there are two koreas, China bordered with north Korea, and north Korea is border with south Korea. That is the whole fact. South Korea is not part of China.

  • Using violence to attack police during a protest is not democracy. It is the abuse of democracy.

    No matter how you argue what "democracy" is, it is a fact that Korean customers also have democracy freedom/right to buy or not buy US beef. So, this violent protest is actully pointless.

  • This violent protest is actully pointless if they are really protest against US beef only.

    But I heard that actually they are proesting against US, and US beef is just an excuse. If so, this protest may be meaningful. But why didn't they show their real purpose clearly?

  • nnbb2008: I am assuming you are from china when i say this. But, You can have korea. I think americans are getting tired of protecting the little bitch of a country. If they want to be anti-american, they can run to the chinese when north korea attacks them.

  • i agree with you sooo much....unfortanetly i live in korea because my husband is in military....ohh yea by the way enjoy your meat

  • Look at those Korean's political vidoes posted on youtube, their posters all set restrictions on comments. Therefore, only comments they like can be viewed, other comments will be not be shown.

    You can try some videos about supporting Korean's protest against US beef, they are all so. They cannot tolerate any comments they dislike.

    So, their "democracy" is of course violent and ridiculous.

  • nnbb2008's comment is funny because it's coming from a Chinese. Let me tell you something, China is in no place to say anything. They've gained economic power by stealing other country's innovations and using practically slave labor to make money and you're teaching us about democracy based on youtube comments where we know dumb hicks like you make up the majority.

  • Bla bla... according to ur cold war logic, no one can comment on this ridiculous Korea beef protest except Korean and Americans.

    Hello, this is youtube. This is not "Communism" China or "Democracy" Korea. I have can have any "positive" or "negative" comment on this Korea beef protest as I want. So far I do not think I made comment on Korea based on racism or cold war logic.

  • nnbb2008//

    youwere saying: " Bla bla...you simply ignore this fact: Korean customers have the right/freedom to buy or not buy US beef. "

    First, you must be really DUMB to think they can choose to NOT to eat beef. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY FOOD CONTAINS BEEF?

    In UK, even many vegetarians died of BSE.

    Get it? It means you can't track everything down.

    Protests are there because KOREA IS ONLYONE importing 30mo risky beef. Why would other COUNTRIES HAVE SO MUCH REGULATIONS THEN??

  • i'm korean and i eat american beef everyday!

  • South Koriea, Shut up and eat your beef. Baby fetus metus

  • buttand// no. they're against importing american beef.

    They're ok with younger beef like 20, 24 month olds which have less chance of mad cow disease

    but the prez is importing highly risky 30month beef, BONES, and INTESTINES.

  • Bla bla...you simply ignore this fact: Korean customers have the right/freedom to buy or not buy US beef.

  • "If people let the Government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as Souls who live under tyranny."

    Thomas Jefferson

  • nicely said

  • I didn't say it but thanks LOL. The President gets the best meat and that's all he cares about. Both North and South. They just want their steaks but are not considering what is really at stake. Only thinking about their guts instead of the well being and needs of the people. I guess it's no different than all the other fat cows that are appointed. Kind of embarrassing for a nation to have a heffer as a leader.

  • Also jus another word for those that say, hey if you dont wanna eat US beef than jus dont buy it, well if u know korea, then you would also know how we koreans tend to eat alot outside, and most restaurants and most will offer US beef since its cheaper and most of the time we wont know the difference, exposing a majority of the working class citizens to any mad cow disease or other related issues, The point is, US beef is jus not that safe yet, regardless of what US has to say.

  • This isn't only about buying or not buying us beef.

    School cafeterias and army bases will serve all those cheap meat because korean beef are way too expensive. If you didn't know many of the protesters are high school students.

  • exactly thnx for bringing that up, i do agree its more than jus buying and not buying, as i said b4, its much more complicated.. And unlike other materials, this beef poses a risk of health infections to our younger generation, and why should we take that risk? for the sake of free trade? thats not free trade thats a biased act favoring one side

  • I see alot of similar comments on this video and id just like to say, this issue is alot more complicated than you ppl may think. First this beef issue is jus one of many issues to come because america seems to force things upon Koreans rather than offering, for instance the Beef export was a rather forced act, Korea never really wanted to to this trade it was an act don to please the americans. There are just alot of issues involved so dont talk so lightly by saying, "koreans jus racist"

  • the fact is: korean restaurants in LA/NY are cooking american beef every day and nobody bitch about it.

    the whole incident only leaves the world one impression clear and loud: s. korea is a stupid country no better than its north brother.

  • The beef being sent to korea is different than the ones in LA/NY. they're the ones that are over 30 months old which has a high risk for a mad cow disease. US used to throw those beef away until President Lee lifted the ban.

    Don't listen to what the korean government says and face the facts.

  • Democracy.

  • It is not democracy. It is abuse of democracy since these protestors turn violent.

  • What's so violent about holding candles in streets? It's the fucking government that sent out the police to beat up everyone that's protesting.

    Before the government stepped in there was no violence involved. Do some research

  • Is this really necessary? Over one case of mad cow disease in the US, not even in Korea, in 2003.

    And secondly, wouldn't it be a lot easier to just not buy U.S. beef? I mean nobody is forcing them to eat it..

  • the problem is people like American Beef, most of the protestors are farmers.

  • So, the majority of Korean people (customers) like US beef, and some Korean farmers are not happy with that. Then these Korean farmers can even use violent protest to force Korean governmentto stop importing US beef.

    So, what is the "democracy" for Korean customers' right to buy US beef?

  • i think president lee want to give present to US president...because korea is US's slave.

  • Well, I heard US beef is already on sale in some Korea supermakets despite of the massive and violent protest.

    The most intertesting thing I heard is that US beef are quickly SOLD OUT in these Korea supermarkets. Korean cusomers LIKE US beef.

    So, what the hell are they protesting for?

  • ^_^ I guess US farmers should get a relief now...

    Korean actually like US beef very much. Also, they like protesting.

    Unluckily this time US beef becomes a good target for their protest. But Korean will enjoy delicious US beef after protesting.

    That is the end of story.

  • I realy do not understand what gorvernment policy LEE Myung Bak, you must respect to

  • How many S. Korean have been identified with MCD? is there any statistics of it?

  • I guess the answer is clear: zero.

    Actually I do not think they are really protesting against US beef. Something bigger behid this protest. US beef is just a good excuse for them to have a protest.

  • fuck.

    EVERY KOREAN MUST STOP EATING US BEEF. Then everything will be solved, no one will import it if no one buys it. It's simplease. DON'T EAT US BEEF KOREANS. We must fight off the mad cow diease.

  • Yes, I just get confused with the angry reaction of Korean people.

    If they do not buy US beef, no Korea supermarket will import it even Korean government "allow" import.

    What is the point to make such a violent protest?

  • The World Organization....lol..they are just a covert arm of USA Imperialism...of course they say their infected beef is safe...lol...no one here in Europe seats it..yet it is fine for those slanty eyed Koreans...lol

  • My point, Korean poeple can simply refuse to buy USA beef in supermarket. If no one buy it, supermarket will not imort any USA beef even Korean government allows it.

    Why did they make such a violent protest?

  • I think they actually are not protesting against USA beef. USA beef is just a good excuse for them to make a protest.

  • can you go to Vietnam Second Fastest Economy in the World on youtube and tell Egyptian12346 that north and south korea is totally a different country cause this guy insult my country which is vietnam.

  • can you go to A darker side of Chinese nationalism: Torch Relay in Korea on youtube and tell amoxi70 for what the chinese student did wrong in korea cause he insult your country.

  • It is documented that that South Korean's eat dog meat. How can you complain about beef when you eat DOGS?? I don't like george bush and I don't eat beef either but you are all a bunch of hypocrites. Your culture disgusts me. How does that dog taste?? MMMmmmmMMMmmm good dog meat. You probably eat baby fetus metus too.

  • That is just culture difference. You should not use it as an excuse to attack others.

    For example, Japanese eat whale, Spanish kill oxe for fun, and Chinese Tibetan even feed eagles with the body of their dead family members.
