| Dave was so much more relaxed than the interviewers. They kept interrupting him and weren't happy when he said that Peter Jackson's postings had been friendly and helpful. |

| Is anyone surprised that there was nothing unusual in this guy's postings? Did anyone honestly expect him to reveal his sordid perversions on a website like this? Hidden signs? Is it any surprise that the thread about "loony teachers" has been visited so much and attracted so many posts? Looking for hidden signs of instability and perversion here would occupy psychologists, to say nothing of psychiatrists, for a very long time..... |

| You're right. People want to differentiate themselves from a heinous crime, and completely demonise the perpetrator. They also tend to do that to excuse slavery, war, colonisation, etc. Something that has occupied psychologists and psychiatrists for a long time, as well. |

It looks like there may be some big changes in the Korean ESL industry because of this.
| Quote: |
No Visas for Unqualified English Instructors
Korean lawmakers are set to come up with a new regulation forbidding the issuance of work visas for unqualified English instructors.
"The move comes just days after the arrest of 32-year-old Canadian Christopher Paul Neil, a suspected pedophile who taught at a school in Korea for three months before fleeing to Thailand this month.
There are currently 16,000 foreigners working in Korea as English teachers.
Over the past five years, over 800 foreign English instructors have been caught with forged degrees or having worked in Korea without proper visas. Some have even been found to have taught under the influence of drugs.
Lawmakers said Wednesday that the new law will scrutinize the criminal and medical histories of all education work visa applicants before a visa is granted. |

Koreans become very worried and concerned because one out of thousands of foreign ESL teachers turns out to be a pedophile. They become very determined to stop the situation from happening again. But when a Korean does it they dismiss it as a "sign of affection".
| Quote: |
An appellate court gave the "not guilty'' verdict to a father who had touched his 11-year-old stepdaughter's *beep*, saying it was a "sign of affection.''
Kim, 43, was married in 1996. He became the stepfather of his wife's daughter, whom he treated as his own child. He had often showed her affection through touching, which the girl did not used to consider as unpleasant.
Last March, Kim returned home one night after drinking and found his wife and daughter asleep. Kim put his leg on his stepdaughter's body and touched her hips and *beep* under her pajama top.

This is outrageous and confirms my own opinion of Koreans as being racist, xenophobic hypocrites. I doubt I'll be returning there to teach again. |
