Maybe they should transfer all those police to enforce traffic laws in Seoul. Wasting taxpayer money standing on a rock in the Sea of Japan.

Am I the only one who reads Dokdo as Dodo, as in the Dodo Bird?

I think maybe the photo was staged by Liberace…

Yes I see it as Dodo also. These people should direct there excess energies to more constructive things, adopting and help with cleaning up the greeways along the Han, etc.

I have a bit of a confession to make.

I am highly involved in the Dokdo defense movement. So much so, if was Korean, I would likely get official recognition.

Every morning, I do my magic chants, burn my insense, and cast my chicken bones. It is working quite well and Dokdo has remained Korean territory free of invasion. QED.

I was going to make it permanent through the use of more powerful magic… but then I would have to solve economic downturns and political scandals as well. It is better to keep Dokdo only marginally Korean so the impact of domestic turmoil is lessened.

A good shaman knows when to use his powers for good and when to let the muggles resolve things on their own.

CH, if you wanted to be a shaman, wouldn’t you need stringy, unkempt, facial hair? I mean, that’s what they look like in all the movies…

Being nominally Western, your DNA precludes you being successful in that regard.

Besides, it’s the steaming entrails of a goat, not chicken bones.

CH, I really don’t want to know what you mean by, “cast my chicken bones…”

That rock has more defenders than Greenland. I guess asking if they would consider selling it is out of the question.

GI, Dokdo is too small for a Trump property, even if they did what the Chinese did to those partially-submerged rock in the Spratleys (spelling?).

I know. I was trying to mock the Liancort Rock of fame.
