Description

In Korea, small islands located between them and Japan are a big issue. There have been stamps, protests, visits and people injurying themselves all to assert Korean ownership over these islands. What's the Japanese response? Look at the photos, the Japanese models thought it is a non-issue. The same is the feeling of the people I talked to on the streets of Osaka, Dokto islands, who cares. Anyone with thoughts on the Dokto islands here?

makes me think of one of Winston Churchill's more intelligent sayings: "jaw-jaw is better than war-war" - let's hope the whole thing goes no further than stupid slogans on both sides

Not the slightest notion about these islands, but they'd better let these girls decide to which country they belong! ;)

Are these countries members of the UN? If there is no official position, which there probably IS, let them put it to a vote. Or else they could just say: "The hottest model wins."...like we do in the good ol'USA:)

the korean girl is nicer and as japan says the isles arent important let korea have them. an other option is to forget all borders and become world citizens.
