Thank you and now you've given me a chance for an I told you so moment.
You use North Korea as an example of badness. I wholeheartedly agree.
Do you remember when Junior came into play? You said give him a chance and I said he's going to be far worse than what came before and then he started executing relatives with rockets. And it's only been worse since.
Do you agree with my side by now?

That was my optimistic side taking over.
Yeah, you were right.
:-)
I briefly tried to find that thread, but Google's search of any blog-like thing over 10 years old is pretty broken. Maybe Google does forget, eventually??
Cheers,
Scott.

So you're saying my memory is better than Google's?
I actually remember my physical location as I was typing and interacting back and forth and posting during that time frame for that particular post thread. I knew someday I would come back and post just like I just did. But I had to wait.

On the other hand on bit confused on the Google comment
I use the site: syntax all the time to search various sites including this one. I've learned most sites don't actually have to have a site search function because Google just do it for you. I don't claim to care to the level to actually find that historical post. I played for a moment and then realized that I really didn't care and stopped. But I'm sure I could track it down if I really had to.
I tried to explain the Way Back Machine to M a couple days ago. There is this resource that attempts to snapshot web pages at various stages to allow us to go back and see the historical versions of them. That is what the way back machine is.
The reason you really want this is to determine when people are lying to you. They claim s*** didn't happen and we know better because we look at the way back machine. The way back machine guards against propaganda.

I only got 3 hits when I did a "site:..." search.
I did: site: forum.iwethey.org "Another Scott" Kim or something like that. I know there was much more out there... The Wayback Machine is great, but I can't figure out how to use it except by date. I can't seem to tell it to search a site for something in, say, 2006. I have to go through the snapshots one by one and click and read and click and read and hope I get lucky. I understand that an index of sites there would be impractically huge and CPU intensive, but still it's unfortunate that it's not easier to pick out stuff that you know is buried there. Cheers, Scott.

Heh...
You may end up being right, and history tells us you're likely to be right, ... Seems like I learned to put enough qualifications in my comments! Hehe. Cheers, Scott.

We should review old arguments and tally up points.
Assad is still in charge of Syria. We were both wrong on that.
North Korea is still saber-rattling. That's my win.
Burma / Myanmar has swapped back to a military junta dictatorship. Not sure what your position on that was but I considered that country one of the few that escaped from a military junta. I was wrong.
