What 'tude? grunt kept saying make a case, make a case, make a case.
So I did.
I gave him personal, anecdotal evidence. I made no moral judgements
about what I said, I simply stated exactly what the people I have
_talked_to_personally_ have said to me. They are not second-hand
experiences. They are first-hand experiences.
So, you have met older Koreans with favourable views of Japan. Good
for you. I haven't (or if I have, they have not made those views known
to me or their fellow students in class). I'm sure they exist, but I
personally haven't heard any.
As for older Koreans on this newsgroup, with very few exceptions, I
don't know anyone's age here. Who here is over 40 and Korean?
Curtis.
