I don't have any percentages, but here are some links. I've also heard theories that it might have possibly been caused by the government not properly maintaining their equipment, which caused something to go wrong, killing the sailors and sinking the ship and that this is a cover-up to shift blame from the Korean government. Can't find anything on that though. Some of the theories do seem valid, but given the fucked-upedness of the NK situation, it's hard to apply Occam's razor, as everything is already multiplied beyond necessity. I just don't think that every bad thing in the region can be attributed to North Korea right away.

Regardless, the point of the matter didn't start with me claiming I didn't believe it was actually North Korea. I'm pretty neutral to the matter because living here the whole thing is a pretty fucking ridiculously annoying series of happenings, like if one of your friend's kid brothers constantly beat on him but your friend was too big of a pussy to knock the shit out of him and put him in line. If I had to be skeptical about 2 things, it would be that the pictures of the North Korean "markings" were done what what seemed to be a permanent marker, and while not exactly piece of evidence for conspiracy, it surely isn't great evidence the other way, either. Also, the fact that South Korea hasn't acted against North Korea at all militarily after one of the biggest acts of war since the Axe Murder incident makes me a little speculative.

I was merely bringing up that a lot of Koreans don't believe it ("A lot of Americans don't believe that there was only one shooter...") and he went apeshit over the fact that I am always a naysayer and refuse to accept evidence etc. etc. etc.
