my buddies were saying that IF the two koreas reunited, they would get more power than japan.

Do you think that other countries care if we united? or do you guys think that they are trying to seperate us?

i say go for it. south korea gets more military strength, north korea gets some damn food.

more land for south koreans to live on, more families reunited. more nationalism, etc. etc. Then we can hate bush together!

What you people don't understand is that china supports North Korea and the US supports South Korea.

What will china's and US's reaction be if they reunite? Somehow, i think those two countries are keeping us apart. Wish i had some evidence..

well, there is more peace in the world if that happens.....but truthfully, the chances of that happenin in todays violence all over the world, that seems unlikely to happen......i suppose it can be good in ways for both nations, but there are many changes that have to happen, n changes take time....lots of time

north korea is a communist country..they are pathetic..they would actually destroy the economic progress of south korea...the only thing they know how to make is nuclear weapons..that's it..im sure more job oppurtunities will be avaiable..but economically...i think it will be corrupted..

You're overlooking the whole internal issue. The main problem is with the two koreas.

China doesn't give a shit about NK. What does NK provide for them? A shitty economy.
Ally by default? take a look at this:

the problem is NK isn't doing anything for China. Therefore, China wouldn't pull out their hair if the two Koreas got together, much less attempt to keep them seperate.

I need to be around people who would teach me some pointers on this whole issue.

A few things,
First of all the politicians in N.Korea won't give up power until the whole system crashes. They are stuck on power and have NO intentions of giving it up. Next, IF the 2 united it would cause economic turmoil and it would take Korea 1o years for it to recooperate. S.Korea is scared to unite because of that, because they don't have the capital or the resources to bring N.Korea up to speed instantly. I would love to see the 2 united but of course it would come at a price, and a steep one at that, even if it came peacefully or with major tensions.

Think of the good side of things

Korea can exploit minerals that are in North Korea, and production costs would be cheaper because of North Korea's current economic status which makes Korea's products cheaper and more competative... also the wage in North Korea will probably lower than the South so Korea can take advantage of that... that's just the economic side of it...

If the north korean people get away from the old propaganda, that means more nationalism and more people for military for Korea.


but there are the downsides...

NK's poor economy + SK's bad economy = Korea's crappy as hell economy...haha


i heard read.. somewhere that SK's economy is getting a lot better.... but it's still bad right?


i remember back in 2000 i went to korea.. and it was all "tong eehl tong eehl!".. they predicted it would take like 50 years.... sumthing like that.... just hella days....


sure it would be great if the 2 koreas united.... but i think it would cause more problems than good.... i bet if SK was richer it would be easier to have tong eehl.... or if they weren't so damn stupid as to put aside their differences...i'm sorry i don't understand politics


hmm well i seem to have contributed nothing... so i'm ....stop
