would cripple the South Korean economy for two generations.
Firstly, that is a nonsensical figure. On what basis do you make a prediction that Korea would take two generations to recover from unification? It has been split up for only slightly longer than that and if you look to history, entire empires have come and gone in the timespan of two generations. Also, it just sounds like more of the same that was said by people about the reunification of Germany.
- EliRivers 13y agoVery obviously a nonsense figure, would you say? Really, really obviously a nonsense figure with no evidence, wouldn't you say? Really, REALLY obviously? Funny coincidence too, presenting the timescale in terms of generations, just like in the parent post? I wonder if perhaps that's deliberate... I deliberately echoed the post I was responding to, but increased it, to illustrate that the original statement was devoid of evidence; in essence, the point was to emphatically and obviously have no evidence of timescale in order to highlight the absurdity of the original post's timescale. You did get the point, though, so I suppose it worked.
- moocowduckquack 13y agoI got the point that your argument was nonsensical, I wasn't aware you were doing it for effect.
