also, last time i checked, im pretty sure people have their civil rights and any adult citizens have voting rights, so if that isn't democracy, i don't know what is. I spent 3 years teaching English in Korea and loved it. It is actually much safer than any major cities I'd lived in US or Europe. The large scale emigration is due to search of cheaper living costs and perhaps search of a new land, after all, Korea is smaller than half the size of california with 50 million people.

please get your facts straight before you go out making yourself look like a fool on the web. as of 2006, korea is the 11th largest economy in the world, and is one of the cleanest countries i'd ever been to behind singapore. it is far more developed than major cities of the US in terms of infrastructure and technology. that is not to say they do not have any room for improvement, but not to the extent you're exaggerating it to be. Korea is definitely an advanced nation.

Korea's first president was in Austria when the U.S. requested his services, he had a white wife and retired in Hawaii where there is a statue of him built.

Kim Il-Sung is not his real name, he stole it from a fellow freedom fighter.

@isleepdreaming

thats wat i mean

[isleepdreaming]

@bananacockroach what kind of logic is that?

They are of the same race.

They are under different leaderships.

You should hate the leader, not the people.

Technically, Kim Jong-il is not a president. The post of president was abolished after his father's death.

koreans need to know how to use a garbage can. korea is very dirty due to extreme littering. koreans still don't know what a democracy is. korea still has large scale emigration, which means korea is still a developing country.
