Title: zomg guys I AM UNDER ATTACK (not really)
Post by: GilloD on November 23, 2010, 03:38:56 AM
North Korea shelled some disputed South Korean island. News people are freaked out, but my co-workers didn't even know anything happened. Our neighbor was like "Eh. Every year North Korea yell and make BIG SHOW! Like child!"

NK actually sank a SK sub earlier this year, no?  And NK has some kind of uranium enrichment facility, which we know about because they invited an American scientist and just showed him.

It's like a country run by incompetent Bond villains.

Even if she asks for it, you don't spank somebody holding a loaded gun to your head.  By gun I mean rockets and by head I of course am referring to Seoul.

also, wasn't a SK sub that was sunk. It was a ship that was torpedoed with NK torpedoes.

"Eh. Every year North Korea yell and make BIG SHOW! Like child!"

My co-teach basically said the same thing. I'm just pissed because the exchange rate was just starting to bounce back. Won's gonna be worthless by the time I make the big transfer.

Wait, NK actually attacks in a way which kills civilians and military personnel each year? I've never heard about it before, only blustering rhetoric.

I think you may have just discovered by the North and South could never come to a peace agreement.

NK:  Please understand
SK:  Please understand
NK:  Please understand!

I dunno, for the last couple of decades that timeline looks like military posturing and minor skirmishes in disputed waters or on foreign territory. This is a shelling of South Korean territory.

My wife said there was a proclamation this morning by China that N. Korea is "only retaliating" -- so they're already stepping up to say they're backing N. Korea. This could get ugly fast. Though it seems like anyone could step up and show China a timeline of events and ask them if they can do the math.

So this is N. Korea saying it's retaliating for the naval exercises taking place in disputed waters. Typical for the logic coming out of N. Korea: Your boats crossed our imaginary line, so we're going to shell your territory. What a bunch of fuckwits.

Hehe well, they are not recognizing the naval demarcation line that goes north of these islands so techically they are shelling INVADERS on their own territory!

Well, no, it's more analogous to shooting into their neighbors' house after them playing on the sidewalk may or may not have wandered onto their front lawn.

Exchange today, man. I thought the won was going to take a total nosedive as it did after the Cheonan sinking, but it bounced back a little since the incident and I exchanged yesterday with it trading at 1150 to the dollar. This still isn't a bad rate now and if there is another attack it could get MUCH worse.

It's OK. Their overhead projectors and copy machines will be broken as well. No education will take place, status quo maintained.

The only ABBA song that Evilbore endorses is Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight).
