Just start a new thread on China.  This one is about that wasscally Lil' Kim.

What's going on in Tibet is, in a word, genocide.

Not that you're necessarily wrong (i don't know enough to judge, and it's sounds accurate) , this is why i didn't make a thread. A baying mass will descend and I'll be lucky if the thread lasts for 20 minutes. You don't have to explain, but please provide me with a link.

Seriously, stop derailing existing threads to talk about your pet issues. If you want to talk about something, start a thread for it instead of intentionally derailing. Yes, it means you will have to put a little more work into your posts instead of asking easy to answer questions or complaining about how other people aren't doing things right enough for you, but hey! At least you won't have to complain about other people's titles that way, right?

I've read some of the earlier threads on China, and they quickly descended into arguments where questions where wholly ignored. A derail is a better bet. Incidentally, if this was triggered by the CISgendered thread, you mentioned social justice. I wasn't aware this was a moniker. Also, the thread title is not a good title and i will stand by that.

I would also like to add, when i made threads for each of my distinct questions, i was told to "stop spamming". I think you where one of them.

More editing! As for the simple questions, yes they are. I neither have the knowledge base or the time to research the intricacies of each, particularly with the degree of filtering I'd need to do to find reliable sources in most cases. You are a shortcut, and for now that's a start. If we take the Australasian politics thread, or the American politics thread, it tend to devolve into discussions fairly obvious to someone who's lived in the country, but much less so to myself, and hence questions where googling inundates me with articles that don't answer the specifics of my question and are skewed to boot, are rather directed at you lot. Lastly, I'd like some honesty in some corners of my life, and as such will state my thoughts on these forums when i wish to justify my statements, unpleasing as they may be.

Please keep this argument in PM, otherwise people will be too busy arguing with you and you will have an even larger chance of your precious questions being ignored. I can't even find any of your questions in all this pettiness.

Good advice Kaferian, though on the other hand, it will be convenient to have something to link to for future reference.

I wish there was more North Korea in my North Korea thread.

[Owlbread]

I gave folks plenty of North Korea but the thread went in an unusual direction.

[Aseaheru]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Allright. Random Korean bullshit time.
Contrary to what text books, teachers and assorted idiots say, the Korean war IS NOT over.

Ignore if you dont want to see stupid factoid #8969589756.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It has long been discussed that there is no official end to the war. It's about as commonly known as the fan death myth. It is irrelevant because there have been no meaningful hostilities, and therefore the war is, by definition, over.

WRONG SIR!!!!

Webster's define war as:

(1) : a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations (2) : a period of such armed conflict (3) : state of war.

Both Koreas are armed, hostile, conflicting and are declaredly so. You should not use the phrase definition again unless you are SURE!!!

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It isn't an armed hostile conflict if people aren't fucking dying.

[misko27]

It isn't an armed hostile conflict if people aren't fucking dying.

Not necessarily! There is nothing in there about dying. They could both be like to really angry guys in a bar with guns being really angry at each other. But extended into 2 countries. That is a war. Websters, is always, right. The definition of conflict, I might remind you, is

A serious disagreement or argument, typically a protracted one

Exactly. If you and I both had guns and were willing to shoot each other that would be a mini-war. Think about it.

The Historical Precendent is the Phony war early in WW2.

[Owlbread]

It isn't an armed hostile conflict if people aren't fucking dying.

I'm sure the 14 people killed at Yeonpyeong would beg to differ.

[Loud Whispers]

It isn't an armed hostile conflict if people aren't fucking dying.

wot

Let's pin this down.

Armed [x]
Hostile [x]
Conflict [x]
The parallel ticks the boxes.

[Aseaheru]

Besides, there was never a peace treaty, only a cease fire.
Cease fires are not the end to a war.

[Skyrunner]

:S

I think people will strenuously disagree with your claim that the war is over.

So what's Un been doing lately?
