#5 Lemme get this straight: Somebody named Kim Chang Gook is calling people names?

Former SKor Foreign Minister Lee Bum Suk should step in to ease the tension.

#7 "Can the UN pass a resolution about hate speech before this gets entirely out of hand?"

Would that mean that "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" would be out of bounds?

#8 Can the UN pass a resolution about hate speech before this gets entirely out of hand?

That would mean silencing the Arab Nations, and that is unacceptable to the UN.

#9 Japs is short for Japanese, it is not a nasty word except in North American lingo and even then only when the conotation and sneer is correct. I guess we can assume the NKorean knew what he was saying and how he was saying it but really this is somewhat sane compared to some of their other frothings.

#10 How can an organization that has no resolve pass anything called a resolution?

#11 "Jap" is still widely used in the Phillipines, even in the media. Given their history, the North American connotation is probably the one intended.
