Korean Traveller Died In Jodhpur
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Korean Female Traveller Died yesterday from electric shock while playing with kids flying a kite on the roof top of the Hill view guest house.
Kite got stuck in the electric wire going over the roof of this guest house, she tryed to take the kite out of the heavy wires and by accident touched them and got shock and fall on the ground from 2 storeis high building, she was taken to the hospital right away and was diclared dead after the important examinations. |
I'll never understand why Koreans in particular lack common sense to such a large degree. |

| When I was a kid I knew a couple schoolmates die from trying to knock down kites trapped in powerlines. Sad for her of course, but adults should really know better. |

| A few years ago in Okotoks, just outside of Calgary, some grade 7 kid was walking on railroad tracks, with his headphones on, and a train hit him. I still remember the Calgary newspaper with the front page headline saying what a tragedy. All I could think was, Darwin wins again. |

okokok,
Ever watch the Darwin awards? If not...I suggest you do and see how lack of common sense is far from unique to Koreans... 
Seriously...watch it.

Just a sample...

A man had been standing at the end of a dock with a bucket of dynamite, 2-inch chunks each fused and capped. He lit the fuse, cocked his arm for the throw, and dropped that chunk of dynamite into the bucket of dynamite.
Instantly recognizing the serious situation he was in, the man dove off the dock. But water is incompressible. It transferred the force of the explosion, in line with the blast, against his body. |
So there you go...people... |

But he's angry at Koreans, not these other people.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of when I read his concluding remarks in the OP. I know people overuse this word these days, but it is ironic to display such a lack of common sense while berating others for supposedly having none. |

Well, you know... could be many reasons.
The boss made you do some extra paperwork.
The girl you've been seeing has ten other guys.
The taxi guy didn't take you to Suwon from Itaewon one night.
All of these reasons are well justified and good enough to keep you in Korea long after your brain has told you that you want to go. |

In America we don't have anything as dumb as a Queen or Royal Family.
In fact, your not even a "citizen" of the UK but a "subject" of the her royal majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Your a "British subject," and not a "British citizen."
In fact, the Queen of England is not just a figurehead but an actual branch of government, with very real and great legal power. If you didn't know that, then hey, look at whose the dumb one. What type of country is dumb enough to not even teach its citizens, or actually, in your case, subjects, the very basic understandings of their own government.
Have you ever seen the movie "The Queen" (2007)? If not, I highly highly recommend it. It's the 21 century! The United Kingdom needs to modernize! But hey, any country whose name has the word "kingdom" in it is just dumb.
Any country that claims to be modern but is a "kingdom," with a very real undemocratically elected monarchy, and a very rigid class system -- let me know if I should be addressing you as "lord" or "duke" -- is just dumb.
Just about all technological advances, scientific breakthroughs, great achievements in social progress (over there in your kingdom you still have a very rigid class system, of which includes a Royal Family) and anything great came from one country in the world, and that country is the United States of America.
Such achievements could only came from intelligent people.
Who went to the moon in the '60s? Who invented the automobile or the atomic bomb? And the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
America, by far, has the greatest education system in the world. If not, tell me what other country can even compare with America in greatness.
If what you say is true, and the English due in fact say what you claim, it's because of their own jealousy. After all, if the English were so smart, why are they still governed by a monarch (and its not just a figurehead).
God Damn the Queen!...and other dumb things.
