A recent UN study said that Koreans 1) work the longest hours of people in any country, and 2) have productivity only 68% of that of workers in the US.

How can anyone take this post seriously. The OP is heaping praise on Koreans; however, if you read the OP's signature something else is being heaped on them, as well as anyone who thinks this post is more than what I believe you guys call flaming.

It fascinates me to watch them sometimes.

Note: This post will probably make me sound like a dumbass and get some silly replies.....I am prepared to accept that....but would be happy to get one or two serious replies Razz

So is it an illusion to me or do I have some grounds for reason?
