Ted, Ten made the statement that the Koreans got it worse then the Chinese. Mainly because of the duration of the occupation. The occupation of China started in the 2nd half of the 1930's. Korea was occupied since 1910. Same crimes against humanity, but it lasted for an entire generation. Thanks. Now I understand what you meant. By the way, something most people might not be aware of. Did you know that Korea used to be spelled Corea with a 'C'? It was Japan who respelled Corea as Korea because 'K' comes after 'J', and the Japanese empire didn't think a conquered nation ought to be listed before the conquering nation alphabetically. The need for dominance makes people and countries do some screwed up things. ted
