    Brush up on your Korean stocktrder, sounds like a job might be opening up for you over there. With your incessant unrelenting bullish posts (and I only see what people quote! ) you are the one man propaganda machine that S Korea is looking for!

    Internet censorship is not a new concept in this small nation with the highest Internet penetration rate in the world. It's only gotten worse since the popular uprising, mainly fueled by the active bloggers, against the US beef import that led to many weeks of street protests. Even before this infamous incident, which caught many conservative politicians off guard, the government was already clamping down on individual's freedom of speech by forcing every damn website to collect personal identification number (similar to the Social Security Number here in the US) from their users at the time of registeration. Those numbers would then be checked against the government database for authenticity. As such, once you register you can't say shit like "this fucked up government is run by a buch of thugs!" or you might find the big brother standing at your front porch.
