The idea would require the creation of several new reservoirs to supply water for the canal as well as the actual construction of the canal itself. It sounds like a good idea if it can be done without excessive environmental harm.

Okay, I don't mind Lee Myung-bak overall, but THIS IS ****ING RETARDED.
Korea's not that big. Really. If you want to ship things from Busan to Seoul, you can do it along the expressway. It takes, like, what, 6 hours? If you want to do it on a boat, go the **** around. That'll take like, at most, a day?B♭3Comment

Cheonggeychon was different, too. It helped revitalize neighborhoods in Korea with a somewhat more eco-friendly plan.
This is ****ing retarded.
As far as the plan to move the capital... that was the previous President (ROH Moo-hyun), who (probably) did it to curry favor with the Chungcheong provinces--where the new one was to be located. After much uproar, it was ruled by the Supreme Court that such a move is unconstitutional, and therefore he tried to push ahead a plan to set up an administrative capital there where most of the government will be.
It's going to be named Sejong City, and will be near my mother's hometown of Cheongju and Daejon.B♭3Comment

Why not a 20 km canal from Seoul to Inchon?Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

I fail to see the need for a canal there, either.
Incheon may be a major port, but it's also hardly ideal for one.B♭3Comment

If you are going to make one, that would actually make sense, Rather then Pusan.
It would only be a quarter of the length of the panama canalScouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

It is a rather retarded idea, the reason that Lee was able to win anyway was that the ruling party is widely hated for being a bunch of incompetants (which they are).
I expect that not much will come of it. In Korean politics there's a long history of people trying to tout a BIG solution to a problem which then gets talked about a lot but nothing much ever happens with the implementation, I expect this to be like that.
Same sort of thing with the English education. English education is ****ed up in the public schools because most public school English classes consist of teachers diagramming English sentences in Korean while the students listen and some grammar worksheets (no speaking etc.). Instead of fixing that you get a bunch of idiot ideas like English Villages (kind of theme park/school combos that are full of Russians who barely speak English but have the right skin color) and Lee's new idea of telling Korean teachers that they're going to start to have to teach science etc. classes at least partially in English.Stop Quoting BenComment

Isn't the vast majority of gravel used for concrete?Originally posted by Whoha
Sand and Gravel have their uses in water filtration systems, and in general the cost of materials has gone up as a result of their nearby neighbor. I don't know if they have 8 billion euros worth of rock though.Comment

They might be talking about stone convertible into aggregate, which might not be in huge supply in Korea. Aggregate is used in a whole bunch of things.Originally posted by DanS
At first blush, this sounds like total horse****. Is there anybody here qualified to opine on this?Comment

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Aggregate is generally crushed stone. It can be used in road beds, on shingles for your house, in concrete, and a few other crucial products.
In most large construction projects the ground has to be prepared for whatever is going to sit on top of it. In order to prevent catastrophic landslides, ground shifting, etc... the land has to be graded and the soil must be structured. Aggregate is generally shipped in and used for soil structure.
Aggregate is made out of many types of rock. Each type has a role.Comment
