Well.... I have read a lot about it and HAVE spoken to more then just 2 Japanese people in my net life... Though I'[ve spoken to a lot less Koreans over the years then Japanese, and I've spoken to less Japanese then chinese, I've listened to quite an array of opinions. And as I've mention, I've read news reports on situations like politics. Mostly... I red them for the Japanese opinioon of westerners, I admit that much. Back in my days as a Beyblade fan, one of the forums hosted a politics discussion where we learnt about Japanese plitics, its where I first came across the "silly" law you mentioned because a Japanese businessman mentioned he wasn't particularly fond of dealing with sales to Korea, since it meant a lot of work arounds within his company. He was kinda supplying the beybalde fandom with torrent beyblade episodes as they G-Revlution series was being aired... So some of us got to see them before they were translated to english. He quit when one of the members drew attention to his torrents since they decided to mirror his files and he got fined for it, which he wasn't happy about (always why I accept not all Japanese will be honest as they like to be, and no, I didn't get involved in this because my net service provider wasn't good enough in those days to hanxdle it). ^_-

Mana you can be quite dismissive on others views, believeing that outsiders do not know whats going on in other countries. But just because there may be oceans between people there doesn't nessecary mean that the situation is any different to Japan and Korean. It does not nessecary means that two cultures that are against each other will always be fighting through blood shed, nor does it all amount to politics. And when it does amount to politics, both parties are trying to maintain their parties strength while deprieving the other of theirs. Other times they throw away the politics and go at each others throats hene why war exists.

Even if you want to pretend trhe situation between Japan and Korea is unqiue, reality is it may have things that other cases do not hacve since their history is different to say, that of England and France, it doesn't make it any more special.
