I mentioned the word "Juche" to Lilith, who is Korean and I find myself saying "yes dear" to her frequently these days. So when I used the word in the sense that we have come to understand it, meaning "Cult of Personality for the Great Leader; heroic worship thereof" she corrected me and backed it up with the "Minjung Essense Korean-English Dictionary".
"Juche" means "sovereignty, independence, and self-reliance" and is an philosophy that Kim Jong-Il espouses for all North Koreans, to be independent and self-reliant from the rest of the world. It is not a worship centered own his own cult of personality.
I am also instructed to inform everone that Lilith is in no way related to "that little munchkin in the North"; and that while I do say "yes dear": to her frequently I don't actually mean it in the browbeaten, henpecked sense of the word. I just do it to tease here, that's all. See? I wrote it! I wrote it! Stop hitting me!

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Coyote, nobody knows WTF you're talking about, or cares enough to find out. I think I'll just play until someone comes along and locks the thread.

If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now!

Thread Moved...
He's been corrected on a political phrase by a Korean female. She is also apparently getting involved with him so I think I will move this to off topic.
Co-incidentally the phrase of self relieance has been co-opted for other groups on a nationalist binge, or wanting seperation before. Basque, Northern Ireland & Qubec use simular meaning phrases.
Oh and Hi again to Lillith....

Re: ! (We think Coyote is saying*)
So I think he's saying he's appologizing for using a Korean word in the wrong context to a naturalized South Korean whom he is having relations with....Coyote wrote:I mentioned the word "Juche" to Lilith, who is Korean and I find myself saying "yes dear" to her frequently these days. So when I used the word in the sense that we have come to understand it, meaning "Cult of Personality for the Great Leader; heroic worship thereof" she corrected me and backed it up with the "Minjung Essense Korean-English Dictionary".
Now it seems that he is slaiming that he definatly is having sexual relations with our newest female poster....Coyte wrote: "Juche" means "sovereignty, independence, and self-reliance" and is an philosophy that Kim Jong-Il espouses for all North Koreans, to be independent and self-reliant from the rest of the world. It is not a worship centered own his own cult of personality.

So I guess It belongs in Off Topic where I sent it....

Well... uhh... yeah...
So in general Western parlance, "Juche" has been translated as "cult of personality" for the "Great Leader", Kim Jong-Il. That is how I have seen it used, and I used it in that respect in front of someone who knows better, so I , uh, apologised and stuff. We'd also used it that way in reference to our own Great Leader of the HAB, one Sea Skimmer, so the correction was of some interest to general political topics and to some members of the board.
Look, we'd already polished off the Cuba Libres and the White Russians, and a bottle of white wine and half a bottle of red, so gimme some slack, huh? Pleeze?

Maybe it's the fact that it's after 3am, or the fact that I worked all day and then came home to slave away in the kitchen for a friend and only just now (yes, that's 3am again, for all you ADD people) finished, and perhaps because of all of this my brain is just slightly off, but my reaction to this thread is still
