Honest question

I really want to ask this politely. Is it ok to trust you? Even if you are an American? Komitsuki (talk) 02:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I'm just a normal person who loves Wikipedia like you.ShinVeritas (talk) 02:13, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Sure thing. You apologized and it's cool for me. Please help with my edits and everything between us will be fine. Komitsuki (talk) 13:22, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Your recent WP:AIV report

Thank you for making a report about Komitsuki (talk · contribs · block log) on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. This appears to be a content dispute, not a case of clear vandalism. Please take the dispute to the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution process if you cannot resolve it on the relevant articles' talkpages. Thank you. Tonywalton ^Talk 00:03, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

You should be ashamed of yourself

Promoting politically-motivated censorship is against the policies of Wikipedia. Komitsuki (talk) 02:12, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Komitsuki, if you feel I am not being neutral, please fee free to report me to Wikipedia. Numerous people other than myself has claimed that your articles resemble bias time and time again. And some of them are not even Korean. ShinVeritas (talk) 02:16, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

I'll stop it just for you. You're a victim of the American media that often portrays the Korean "neo-con" right as a holy side of Korean politics. I do have relatives in Korea. Most of them hate Lee Myung-bak. I've been to Korea before. My Korean-American mother revoked her American citizenship years ago. Truth will tell. Truth will tell that American "neo-con" values are wrong for Korea and for the Philippines. Pro-American politicians anywhere in Asia are our biggest burdens. You have to know this.

So Mr. Victim, I hope you have a nice time. It's still sunny in Manila. Komitsuki (talk) 02:25, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

I also have relatives. Most of them thinks Lee has done good and bad, but he's not the monster some people make him out to be. I visit Korea every two years. The American media doesn't even report about Korea much at all unless someone shoots someone or North Korea does something. My only sources are Korean news. Also, I think President Lee deserves to be impeached if he knew about the illegal surveillance incident by the way. Let's try to judge his other things neutrally.

And it's nice and sunny here in California too. I liked Manila when I was there. Food was fantastic I liked Boracay even better before all the hotels came like they did to Cebu.

I visited Seoul last year around October-ish. Conservative pundits like Lee Sang-don was literally attacking Lee Myung-bak more than the leftist pundits. It was because the GNP in-party leadership surrounding Lee was a huge mess around that period of time. Some of pro-Lee politicians eventually moved to the K Party for this reason. I think the American style presidential system doesn't work in South Korea and in the Philippines. It creates more troubles IMO. Komitsuki (talk) 02:46, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

America has has 200 years to work on its system. It's been less than 60 years for Korea, and less than 20~30 years since dictatorship(although i believe that dictatorship was very good in terms of the economy). There hasn't been a single president who DIDNT get attacked. Everyone attacks everyone. But I think there's way too many lies about Lee, although he did some stupid things. ShinVeritas (talk) 03:57, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't sound like Lee would leave the office peacefully from what I can tell. Being America-friendly and big-business conservative will only harm Korea. See how the Philippines work. This is why I love living in the Philippines. You can get more accurate information about Korea than in the USA. :) If you're a proud Korean, why don't you live in the Philippines? It's better than America. Komitsuki (talk) 13:13, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

I want to suggest one thing. Consider that you live in Cali, you are more exposed to the Korean Chojoongdong news sources. Chojoongdong is like the FOX News in South Korea. There are many other conservative Korean newspapers. Don't limit yourself to chaebol-oriented newspapers. Thank goodness I don't live in the USA or else I'll be exposed to more biased newspapers for a non-mainstream conservative like me. Komitsuki (talk) 14:47, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

South Korea especially has NO natural resources, unlike Japan or the Philippines, and no notable tourist attractions. Trade is the only way the country can survive, and big business is essential for survival. I'm not saying big businesses should run the country, but the nation relies heavily on them, and they bring in trade. Chojoongdong has some similarities to Fox, but they also have a lot of CNN. They are not afraid when China or North Korea does something bad, and they have brought many social issues to the forefront.

Both the left and right in Korea needs to evolve. Neither is mature yet. And yeah I might live in the Philippines, but there are more lucrative jobs here still as a engineer, and I have a family! ShinVeritas (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Interesting. But yeah. I might live in Seoul starting around September this year working as a Filipino member at a private Korean Roman Catholic foundation. They need English speakers and people who are familiar with SE Asia. Komitsuki (talk) 13:03, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Any info on Macquarie?

There is a recent disputes about this Australian company in Korea.[1] Lee Myung-bak apparently did some shady deals in the past with this company. Komitsuki (talk) 14:38, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

And I think we need to improve some info on the on-going KBS, MBC, YTN strikes. As a Filipino, it seems that the Philippines have better media freedom and better human rights record than South Korea right now. I don't know whether this is good or not and I think there is a good need to address the strikes. Komitsuki (talk) 14:43, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't know what's with the aggression from you. Thank you for your attentive concern about some internal conflicts in the Philippines even though it's pretty much resolved. If you don't know, there's a larger anti-American presence these days in the Philippines. It's same goes to South Korea. The mad cow disease in America isn't helping both countries' economy right now. And I don't like how the both Asian countries are struggling with rampant corruption that is often rooted in America-friendly politicians. Anti-Americanism is very visible these days even among the ethnic Korean population in Manila. It's kind of sad. I hope you can pay more attention about some scandals in Korea and in America. Then again I'm a Roman Catholic believer. No offense but it's very difficult for me to have a positive image of America in which the country itself is generally anti-RC. I apologize.

But there is indeed a Filipino movement to shift from American style presidential system to European style parliamentary system. Komitsuki (talk) 02:46, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Whether you will like it or not, anti-Americanism is getting larger and larger everyday in this section of the globe. Don't be so disappointed. It's the reality. Komitsuki (talk) 12:12, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Thats too bad, though understandable. Hopefully relations will improve towards the future ShinVeritas (talk) 22:18, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Question

Long time no contact. I have a question. What is your opinion on the Manipulation of public opinion by National Intelligence Service during 2012 South Korean presidential election? It's one of the biggest election frauds in the world history of democracy. And it happened in South Korea. You know about Korea better than me. I think there is a good need of contribution.
