It was possible partly because Chosun had better artillery, though Chosun
didn't have personal gun.

I think Mr. Lee's statement clearly shows that he was using a racial slur when he
said the South Koreans are sloppy.  In my opinion, he should be fired from IBM
since IBM is an internation business company and I believe it supports anti-racism
policy.  Even though he claims that his opinions haven't reflect those of IBM's,
I think IBM company should not hire such a person for its business' sake.  If IBM
tolerates such a person, we Koreans should boycott all IBM products.  I think
any sensible Koreans should send a protest letter to IBM or call Mr. Lee's super-
visor for the matter.  If Mr. Lee sees his wrongdoing, he should post an open
apology letter to soc.culture.korean.

[hsteve@carina.unm.edu writes about cannibalism by Japanese on
Papua-New Guinea during WWII]

I was a missionary on the Micronesian island of Pohnpei (Ponape) in the
early 1980's.  Every year in September the Pohnpeians have a celebration
of when the Americans saved them from becoming human sushi to the
Japanese who had been occupying the island.

The Japanese supply lines were cut and the Japanese forces on the island
were starving.  There was a plan by the Japanese to make food out of the
natives but was not executed due to an American liberation of the island on
September 6 (?, I am not sure of the date or year).

Even without this "harvesting" plan, the Japanese are guilty of making the
locals into slaves.  They not only forced the locals into labor but
also beat the workers, many of them are children.

Hi.

	I just had a go at using 21word version 1.0. Hmm, nice looking program indeed
However, I have found soem weird things in it which makes me wonder if the 
program is supposed to be useful. 
	First I wonder what the reason behind naming it version 1.0 when it is hardly
usable....e.g.when a window is closed after clicking on the button on the left
top corner, it doesn't even ask you if you want to save it or not!....hours of
editing gone..good bye...adios...ahn-nyung:) 
	Am I expecting too much? I admit that the interface is nice looking and stuff
but I would have thought that something like version 1.0 would be functional..

p.s. Could I have some sort of description of hangul 2.0?

Or do I have a wrong opinion??

	Here we go again; wrong assumption!

	Here, you assumed that they tell the truth.
	When it is granted that it's the truth, none
	will argue or he is simply either a jerk or fool.
	But what you think is true is not necessarily the truth.

	So far I've seen articles arguing against the assumption
	of truth - such as GMT's "if ..., then <some question>".
	Here, since I deny the validity of the if-clause,
	there's no answer - or this is not a valid question.

	But, I've not seen the articles saying
	"it is true; but I'll still shout!"

	BTW, if you haven't seen Koreans in Korea, you haven't
	even tasted a bit; if you have dealt with Koreans
	on s.c.k (I doubt but anyway) and generalize from that,
	you really have serious problem.

P.S. I don't speak for Korean/Oriental/Asian/Human but me.
     So don't judge Korean/Oriental/Asian/Human by me.

Pc versions of the game available from various sources. Check out
a recent Mac, Dos magazine game section. Two players(black vs. white)
take turns placing stones on a 19x19 grid. The object is to surround as
much territory as possible. If you entirely surround opposing stones
they are 'captured', and removed from the board. 

Omog/Omok = 'Gomoku'. In Japanese You can find PC versions of this one
as well. 5 in a row tic-tac-toe played on a larger grid. A padook board
serves this purpose well.

>	Sseutta/Sseussta (a card game)
Same principles as poker: bluff, call bluffs. Sutt-da means literally
to stand up and is used to mean bluff, bet, or check while playing 
this game.
The deck consists of 20 cards in 10 pairs, each numbered from 1-10.
Each player is dealt two cards, and you start betting according to
any set of rules that makes it possible to bluff and call bluffs.
The one with the highest hand wins.

There might be a set of 'true-blue' Sutt-da betting rules, but
I'm not aware of them, and poker style rules are ok. Hmmm, me and
my buddies be playing poker with Sutt-da rules....

The ranking of hands are:
Pairs (10,10 .. 1,1)
2,1
10,1
9,1
10,4
4,6
If not in any of the above combinations, take the sum of your 2 
cards modulus 10 and that is the number of points you have.
Higher points defeat lower points. Note that the worst hand
you can have is 7,3 or 8,2 with 0 points. 4,6 and 9,1 are hands
and 5,5 is a pair.

No idea.

>	Soo-yoo berries
Yes. it's a kind of berries. I remember reading a poem which mentions this
fruit as medicine for fever. BTW, it said, "San-Soo-Yoo (Mountain Soo-Yoo)".
I myself saw some Soo-Yoo trees, but how can I explain it? :-)

This is a string musical instrument (forgive my ignorance of proper term)..
Korean traditional music has couple of string instruments, with the most
famous one being "Ga-Ya-Gum (with 12 strings, I guess)" and the other "Guh-
Moon-Go (7 strings? I'm not sure) and one more of which the name I forgot 
(with 1 string and 1 bow for playing).  The sounds of the former two are
similar to that of Harp.  And the last one resembles violin in sound.
