Dog meat was not legally banned in South Korea until around the 2018 Olympics. But it was very uncommon.
The articles I remember reading a few years ago said there were only a few villages that still sold and butchered dogs for meat. I assume those villages would be hard for an American who didn't know the language and didn't have a GPS to get to.
A few other people groups still like dog meat. The Vietnamese are one. Dog meat is banned there but the police don't enforce it.
Thanks, Captain Wiki. They banned it in places in Seoul after the Olympics. Regardless, he probably wasn't scarfing it down unless it happened before the Olympic fall out.

You seriously think Donald Trump cares about the truth?
No. I think you're conditioned to only see lies that are pointed out for you. The media lies to you ALL the time. Other politicians lie to you ALL the time. You just don't care. You're used to it.
Trump lies to you about his ego. He is hyperbolic about everything. He speaks in absolutes. He's easy to catch in lies, especially because the establishment points it out for you. You care about what you're told to care about.

Look at planning your own trip and renting a car/flying/water taxi to the places you want to go. The cruises will have limited stuff to do on the stops as most don't stay in port long. If you like to do any hiking, exploring, or just doing your own thing it will be much better to plan your own trip. Unless you just want to see it from the boat, the other options are better.
Most of the cruises also don't go past the SE Islands/ports. If you want to see Denali, it's going to be a longer trip and you may only get a few hours there at best. The full day bus ride in the park is great or you can backpack it and stay in certain areas if you are fine risking the bears.
You can also do longer boat tours out of Anchorage when not on the cruise. We did an excellent one that had us feet from humpback whales. Didn't see Orcas but those are usually seen in the SE areas.

They keep repeating that Trump lied in the debate but none of them have specifically pointed any lie. It's the standard Trump lies line but they can't point to anything. The difference now is the brainwashing isn't working on the masses now.

Whaf politician are you backing if you care so much about the truth. Just curious.

Cold hard truth here. If only people were willing to understand this, they would realize how much they’re being manipulated.

Lying isn't the main problem with either candidate.
Both of them lie about unimportant things.
When Biden lies about something important, it's forward looking. He promises to improve something or pass something that any reasonable person knows will not happen.
When Trump lies about something important, it's backwards looking. He says his life or his term in office were better than they actually were.
But the main problem is, why would you vote for a guy that doesn't believe in voting??
These are the types of stories the Mikeys and Martys will never hear in the MSM. This is also the reason we had peace under Trump. You cannot be a pacifist on the world stage, and people need to believe you will do what you say you will.
All the theatrics Trump did in negotiations with the Taliban, all we got was a 1 year delayed surrender. Biden implemented the deal on the exact timeline Trump agreed to.

If this is in reference to Trump providing a satellite photo of the Afghani leader's home as a threat if anything went wrong during the withdrawal, I'm sure Mr. Afghani leader has that house up for sale as of this past weekend.
