Jul 9, 2008 - they should've just fired actual bee hives at their enemies, lol
ottoatm Says:
Jul 12, 2008 - Uh... China attacked Japan many many times in the past too... and Korea... they just weren't as successful as Japan in taking over...Plus, while Korea does steal a lot of Chinese things, I see stolen American/European stuff here in China all the time... why don't you all just relax and get over it?
iambetterthanyouall Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - obviously because the fake-goods are illegal in china, and the chinese don't claim credit for them. Whereas for the koreans...well, they tend to claim credit for everything they steal.

Jul 19, 2008 - Screw that, in the battle of Baekgang, A much outnumbered Tang Navy creamed a Japanese navy much much more bigger in size, that defeat for the Japanese struck fear in their hearts as they started building fortiforcations around their island, but China never attacked them.

Jul 22, 2008 - You guys have to be retarded. Watch the video again. Did it say Koreans stole the invention? No. It says Chinese invented it and Koreans made improvements upon it. That's why it makes it different and shows both. You think you guys are always right and that what you know is common knowledge. History is something that changes due to new artifact finds. So you can't just know. You gotta find out like every month or so.

Aug 3, 2008 - have you even realized that chinese copy everything now so get over it. besides you should know by now that alot of countries stole gunpowder from china, mostly europe. Koreans improved the inventions that chinese invented, its like the europeans who improved the guns that chinese invented.

UR ALL ASIAN! U ALL HAVE SLANTED EYES AND SPEAK IN SIMILAR LANGUAGES. u ARE ALL SO FUCKING SIMILAR AND YET U FIGHT OVER STUPID SHIT. I THOUGH ASIA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE SMARTES NATIONS IN THE WORLD. HELL I BET IF ALL THE OTHER NATIONS WENT AGAINST ASIA UD STILL BE FIGHTING EACH OTHER LIKE A BUNCHOFRETARDS
SilverApe1428 Says:
Aug 3, 2008 - U all discrace Asia with ur stupid fighting. One day i can guarantee ur fighting will be the downfall of Asia. U need to quit being racist of each other and start coming together. UR all asian. theres hardly any difference from u. U all have martial arts, u all have slanted eyes, u all used to be communist countries and some of u still are, and u all have good technology. When i see asians fight, especiallysince im part asian myself, i get really pissed. Its always overstupid shit. GET PEACE!!!
dannylau328 Says:
Aug 3, 2008 - china never attacked japan. the mongols did. japan was china's vassal like korea in imperial china. the japanese king along with the korean king were subjects of the chinese emperors.
SilverApe1428 Says:
Aug 3, 2008 - Im saying all this because i love asia. Even though im american i love asia cause thats where nearly all my family is and because im mostly asian. I dont want Asia to end up like the early america or the early africa, where the continent was taken over so damn easily because everyone was fighting despite them being the same people from the same continent. I am sick of hearing people say that Asia is one of the most racist nations of the world because they hate themseleves.
ottoatm Says:
Aug 4, 2008 - Uhh... Yes, China did attack Japan ;)
ottoatm Says:
Aug 4, 2008 - Hmm... Well, Asia has always fought each other, and by the way, MANY many countries here in Asia are not "up" yet, so there really can be no downfall of Asia... On another note, why don't you stop identifying yourself based on race and blood? That's really no way to live your life. You can say you do it on "culture", but I won't believe you... I can spot an ABC a mile away by the way they walk, talk and dress here in Asia. Maybe you should start caring more about the US?
