A US government agency has reversed its recent decision to refer to a small island claimed by both Japan and South Korea as no longer belonging to any country, and will continue calling it South Korean territory.
Last week, the US Board on Geographic Names changed its designation of the island from South Korean to non-designated sovereignty. South Korea strongly protested the decision.
On Wednesday, the Asian affairs chief of the National Security Council Dennis Wilder said President George W Bush ordered Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to look into the matter after being contacted by the South Korean government. Bush is visiting South Korea next week.
He said the decision was then made that the board's database will go back to referring to the island as South Korean.
Wilder said he regrets that last week's change in designation was perceived by South Koreans as some sort of change in the US policy.
He said the US remains neutral on the dispute, and that Japan and South Korea should work diplomatically to resolve the issue.
Korea says it created dragon-boat racing and mahn-tou, which is chinese. Korea says it created China.
takeshima is a small uninhabited island, isn't it? destroy it with many explosives, and there will be no arguments.
>>9
I hear the argument is actually more over ocean rights granted by Takeshima then Takeshima itself. The surrounding fisheries are very valuable.
Why dont' they just share it?
>>11
Have you heard of this sharing mentality is successful in practice?
oh no, don't cancel treaty japan!
how will i protect myself without your awesome army that is more powerful than poland?
>>13
military access through japan is a major part of US force projection in east asia, you are very dumb.
Those Korean extremists went too far when they cut open and ate those pheasants alive, and pulled the limbs of that pig using ropes.
Make it Takeshima.
>>15
Actually, I think that particular protest was over the US military presence or something.
(But the Koreans really just wanted an excuse to torture animals.)
Nice to meet you. I am one Japanese who lives in Japan.
The response of honest Japanese Government was too bad for Takeshima.
The nature passes in Kunashirito and Etorofuto in the Hokkaido north and
Takeshima is a situation where the South Korea army has already resided.
It is a situation in which the person who agrees with South Korea exists also
in the government in Japan though doesn't go out publicly.
It completely has and South Korea is a troublesome country.
I am sorry for the thing that is strange English because the search engine is

Lagos - Police have arrested the head of a federal agency charged with developing Nigeria's impoverished southern oil region, after allegations the man spent millions of dollars on a witchdoctor in hopes of vanquishing a rival.
President Umaru Yar'Adua announced on Friday that the head of the Niger Delta Development Corporation, Sam Edem, had been suspended from his job after local media reports of Edem's large expenditure on black magic. Police later said he had been arrested.
The police said they were investigating the source of the about $4-million (R30-million) Edem reportedly spent on hiring a sorcerer to hex and kill another development official, while steering more lucrative state contracts to him.
Local media also reported that Edem burnt nearly $2-million in local currency in a black magic ceremony designed to precipitate greater funds later.
The federal government said it was investigating how Edem had amassed the fortune he used to engage the sorcerer. Edem had not denied any of the charges.
Police said Edem contracted the witchdoctor to kill a subordinate that Edem believed harboured him ill will.
Well that's all very unfortunate. I hope that we see more positive news on 4-ch because this kind of thing is a bit of a bummer to me.
At least it has nothing to do with those pesky magical witches in the Congo that have a purported habit of casting penis-shrinking hexes on unfortunate tribesmen.
Old, but related.
I like how the witchdoctor not only refused a refund when he didn't complete his tasks, but demanded more money. lol
Over 1,000 homes lost so far. Anyone posting from a Red Cross shelter tonight?
>No deaths were reported, but the Los Angeles police chief said he feared authorities might find bodies among the 500 burned dwellings in a devastated mobile home park that housed many senior citizens.
>"We have almost total devastation here in the mobile park," Fire Capt. Steve Ruda said. "I can't even read the street names because the street signs are melting."
>The series of fires has injured at least 20 people and destroyed hundreds of homes from coastal Santa Barbara to inland Riverside County, on the other side of the Los Angeles area. Smoke blanketed the nation's second-largest city Saturday, reducing the afternoon sun to a pale orange disk.

EAST MILLCREEK, Utah (ABC 4 News) - A man known to police as “Boy Diaper” is back in jail.
31-year old Barton Bagnes was arrested yesterday accused of showing a diaper he was wearing to children.
But authorities said it is not the first time Bagnes has been involved with this kind of crime.
In 2000, he was convicted for a similar crime, served jail time and was placed on the Utah Sex Offender Registry. His alias on the registry is listed as “Boy Diaper.”
And in February, he was charged with 11-counts of lewdness for exposing himself to young boys in Holladay.
Melissa Rideout and Etienne Brasher claimed it was their sons who were victimized by Bagnes in February.
"He always had a big bag on him with diapers in it and he would ask the kids if they wanted to see it and he would pull his shirt up and pull his pants down to show that he was wearing diapers,” said Bagnes.
wow.
wow.
Someone get the Pedo Bear Seal of Approval for this guy.
> "It’s frustrating to see the system doesn't work," said Etienne Brasher. "It’s only a matter of time before someone else, he just grosses me out."
What a bitch. He grosses you out, he should be in jail.

A New Braunfels woman is outraged over what she considers a racist attempt to intimidate her grandchildren from using her subdivision's swimming pool.
Mary Alice Altorfer is hosting a visit from her two grandchildren, whose father is African American. The children swam at the River Tree subdivision pool every day for about a week before someone posted a flier on the pool gate bearing a picture of a black man with a large afro haircut, his arms folded across his chest and the words “POOL'S CLOSED” superimposed.
“I didn't even get the implication at first — then it hit me like a club,” Altorfer said. “I was furious. These are two little kids, and it just makes me angry. I was shocked and angry and hurt.”
Altorfer said only one black couple lives in the subdivision of 172 homes, which average about $200,000 in value, and they never use the pool. She added that the only African Americans who have used the pool in recent weeks are her 6-year-old granddaughter Isabel Martinez and 9-year-old grandson Nicholas Martinez.
“I guess whoever put that up probably didn't like our color,” Nicholas said. “It made me kind of upset.”
> “They're not keeping us out of the pool,”
You've got AIDS!
"A week ago, New Braunfels grandmother Mary Alice Altorfer had never heard of YouTube."

Well there you go. I hate old shits butting into our business, especially black old people (the most irritating kind aside from Chinese and Korean old people).
So, that is why 4chan went down.
So its safe to say that anonymous and 4chan are another product of white nazism.Serves right that 4 chan went down.
Damn. And I just got my confidence in humanity back up to the societal norm.
FUCKING NIGRAS

"Ministers are considering spending up to £12 billion on a database to monitor and store the internet browsing habits, e-mail and telephone records of everyone in Britain.
GCHQ, the government’s eavesdropping centre, has already been given up to £1 billion to finance the first stage of the project.
Hundreds of clandestine probes will be installed to monitor customers live on two of the country’s biggest internet and mobile phone providers - thought to be BT and Vodafone. BT has nearly 5m internet customers. "

As a bundle of sticks, I urge you to end discrimination on this website. We're people too, you know.
NO RIGHTS FOR ENTS!
I understand why you want people to speak better on 4ch but I don't think that justifies making two threads about it in a row. Please stop cluttering up the most recent threads box >_<
besides this is an anonymous forum. You have to expect some kind of trade off you know.
Language only has the meaning you give it. I would weep at the day Victorians took over 4-ch.

As a fine pork product, I am tired of my good name being sullied by filthy sticks!
