I think racism is worse than nationalism. What do YOU think?

The question is; can you even tell the difference between the two? In a homogenous country, one can easily masquerade as the other. |

If this is in reference to your wit, I think we're all in agreement. |

WOW, also, thank you for making my point. The US and Israel seem to make up the largest amount of massacres. I think Us is even more than Israel and that IS remarkable. I guess V Tech confirms it. Congrats.
You deserve the title.
God bless America. L.A. - with more gun deaths per annum than all of Europe combined or your money back!! Good night. And sleep well with your own self sense of false satisfaction and propaganda.
I love you all.
God bless the innocent who have suffered from this massacre. |
what are you trying to say? LA is one of the most multi cultural cities in the world. are you trying to make the point that the world pretty much represents itself in LA with violence, especially since it has the largest korean population outside of korea? i'm not trying to start a flame war, or trying to say that all koreans do this, but, you made a very weak point. |

In addition to the many previous examples OUTSIDE the US, there was Martin Bryant, at Port Arthur in Tasmania, AUSTRALIA. He shot 35 dead on April 28, 1996.

You run and try to blame Koreans but you know in your heart if you have one that it's only in the U.S. that mass murders like this seem to happen
OH, you're so quick to blame Koreans but it it was a G.I murdering a Korean national in Korea, you would still blame Korean society. Your same old double standards. FACT: As usual this s.hit only seems to happen in the U.S.
Always in your country. Why?

It's happened in Scotland, Tasmania and Canada that I'm aware of. And don't forget the South Korean who deliberately set fire to a subway train killing dozens of passengers not so long ago. |

Congrats, leebum-is-sick:
The Korean-American Friendship Society has just nominated you for its annual prize.
Let me clue you in, soju breath. Yesterday, the mayor of a major Japanese city was assassinate for refusing to fix a gangster (yakuza) car.
35 were killed 11 years ago in Australia.
Montreal has recent killings as have Scotland. In China they blew up an elementary school, among other things.
And just do you have to say about the Woo massacre? Hmmm....?
Now go back to your hogwon and study. |

| I'll keep this brief. I am an English teaching professional. I would have suspected that others who visit this sight are as well. Reading this latest series I can see that this is a flawed conclusion. It is very disappointing to see what has happened to a previously intelligent and exceptional internet forum. I would regard a number of individuals and their writing as worthy of a permanent ban. It is one thing to have a useful discussion, that is not what is represented here and now. Children go home and learn something about yourself, please. Moderators, banning is not just a last resort. There are plenty of "chat pages" for the foul and feckless, let's not let this be yet another. |

And of course you'd never find comments like the above on sites by teaching professionals in other countries, would you? |

On a blatant troll thread like this one, all responses are warranted.
Hard to see how this thread has survived 18 hours when other less obnoxious ones got the can. |
