I was on irc when someone made a comment about "Korea" being communist. I proceeded so call that person very ignorant towards world geography and politics.
Then someone else spoke up and said that lots of people refer to North and South Ireland as "Ireland"
I said: You're saying they're similar? The two pairs are vastly different. We're talking about two entirely different government types which facilitate the societal functions of the people. Not a difference between theological views.
Then he replied: So you think the change of fifty years is equivalent conceptually to divisions in countries which have been opposed philosophically for thousands of years? No that seems rather laughable.
Then we both got kicked from the channel.
Anyone have an opinion on this? Might be interesting to discuss. But then again, so is music, pornography, and alcohol.

So what you're asking is, does Kim Jong Il seem more like Sinn Fein than wookies look like giant walking burnt hot dogs, is that correct?

Its hard to interpret your intent, since Wookies do look like walking burnt hotdogs but at the same time do not.

Well this is what I'm saying. It's like playing "one of these things is not like the others" with five completely unrelated items and stoned people. You start to see similarities and parallels and coincidences and then next thing you know you're drinking Guinness and eating kimchee at the same meal.
