Seeing as the name Korea, like most place names, is derived from a historical geographic delineation rather than an explicitly genealogic ethnic grouping, it would be illogical to assume that the "omission"denotes a desire for unification. Political reunification is almost without exception a function of social homogeny, and, renaming a unified region tends reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Hound Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 If anyone is actually stupid enough to believe any media hype concerning North Korea's military power - you're a gullible idiot. They are literally surrounded by numerous anti-missile defense systems that can cripple anything they throw into the air - and they HAVE been doing this on the majority of their test. Jesus fuck it makes me cringe so hard whenever I see anything about North Korea. Their entire country and almost every news story about them is doctored, exaggerated, and ment to make sheeple have something to talk about. This thread makes me want a shit emjoi smiley.

Tell the truth... you only thought of them as North and South, without knowing the correct names. You realize the fact that they have different names, whether or not they're officially inclusive of "north" or "South" means that there is no officially unified "Korea". Because of this, when discussing "Korea" it only makes sense to specify WHICH Korea you're talking about. You know, because there's 2 Koreas. It doesn't matter if you call them "North" or "South", or if you refer to them by the official names. They simply aren't one, singular, nation.

There's nothing to "defend" in the OP. Look again. I asked where the "democratic" part fits in with their system of government and then you respond by saying I'm senile and don't know there hasn't been a "Korea" in quite some time. How does that even follow? You thought it followed because you didn't know the correct names of EITHER nation. One nation, two nations or even eighty six nations... you're arguing a tangent.

scoobdog Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Korea has a history of uniting & separating into different kingdoms & switching it up for like thousands of years. There used to be 3 major kingdoms of Korea for awhile right? I'm sure different Korean people have different views on whether they believe in one Korea or want to stay separated like they are now. But right now it's the Democratic People's Republic of Korea & Republic of Korea. Even then that's just what they write in English anyway. Kinda like how China isn't China in China, in China, China is Zhongguo. But yea we call them North Korea & South Korea sometimes. It just for us though. The same way we call the Middle East the Middle East when it's actually West Asia if you referred to it the way you would a region on any other continent. It's not like they call themselves the Middle East. That name is an enduring pet name by Europeans from the whole Silk Road era of referring to everything east of Europe by how Far East it was. See my phone just capitalized Far East b/c it thinks it's a place. It's a Eurocentric way of labeling countries. So whatever you guys are fighting about is irrelevant. This, with emphasis.

bnmjy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Packard is kinda right here. To extrapolate further, because I know he doesn't know this, the Chinese characters used by both countries are different. (I'm using the Japanese pronunciation of the characters.) 朝鮮 (chousen) and 韓國 (kankoku) both mean Korea and don't notate government style nor any cardinal directions i.e. north and south. 朝鮮 is used by North Korea while 韓國 is used by South Korea. I'm not sure if North Koreans are that bothered by the English "North Korea" but they really hate 北朝鮮 (kita-chousen, literally North Korea), especially when Japanese write it that way. Most Japanese still call North Korea that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't change that the South defected from North a long time ago and isn't considered a part of North Korea by any part of the world outside North Korea.

scoobdog Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 But, that isn't Kenny's point. He's saying that the lack of cardinal markers in the name is indication of the Kim Dynasty seeing the South as part of their domain or as them being the "one true" Korea, which is patently false. His own link even pointed out that Kim Il-Sung had an entirely different name for the eventual unified state. The difference of words for "Korea" might have a regional relevance, but it's not an indication that the use of one refutes the use of the other, especially in the absence of any explicit ethnic disparitiy.
