quote of the day

There is no point in telling children that. It's virtually abuse.

Good job. These “Koreans?” Are 3rd or 4th generation Japanese. They have nothing to do with deciding North Korea policies. So good job calling out an idiot intent on displaying their stupidity.

I guess, that passerby you call an idiot just feels ‘virtually abused’ too, when thinking that Korean schools for 4th generation Japanese don’t make much sense and might be financed by his taxes he had to work hard for, and he might question why they sometimes or often have even portraits of Kim in their classrooms. And finally, last but not least, maybe a few of them or their parents are or have once been on the NK payroll one way or another and might have a whatever small influence on the politics there. So it’s not completely what you call ‘idiotic’ to recommend those young people to do some action against those missiles now or if there are grown up, although they have no decisive power.

If he is mad about how his taxes are paid, think yelling at children not the best outlet for anger about tax waist. Try your local government, your national government first…not kids. He is an idiot and someone (not me) agreed enough to tell him so.

It’s not about tax anyway it’s about a racist, a racist yelling at children. And the Governor saw it for what it was. Good job.

It is abuse and exposes the speaker as a bigot and a first class dolt.

There are 2 different countries with Korea in their name. Japanese know this, right? What are the chances that these children are from NK? Zero.

Sounds like a typical moron. About as ignorant as Lil Kim, I would say.

They are from the same country as you, fool.
