You asked that last time.

You know what SEMIT-ism is ... exactly?

I'd really like to know. Anyone?

Who or WHAT is a semite?

Why don't you just make your point if you have one? Jesus, I hate the pussyfooting around that goes on here. Make your freaking point, if you can.

OMG ... I'm in shock! I have good friends that are Jewish and would be even more against my move to SK if they heard about this.

Has anyone tried to bring these comics to the attention of Costco? I knew of a girl that's related to the founders of Price/Costco and they are indeed Jewish.

Costco is huge now. Having a branch in Korea might get them to exercise some muscle there. At the very least bring forth some government pressure to the publishing companies!

How recent are these comics?

Nah, Korea has a history of cutting of their nose to spite their face. If Costco threatened to pull out their operations, Korea would tell them 'Go'.

Surely you can reason this through.

There should be no need for anyone to have to take you by the hand & slowly explain it to you.

Simply look at the word.

Ask yourself:

1) "What exactly is SEMIT-ism?"

2) "Who precisely is a "semite"? Why?


Have you never consided the sem-antics? Wink

That's exactly what I want you to do. I want you to concisely articulate what your point is.

K.

I have asked myself these questions and, like many words in the English language, it has at least 3 uses.

So, what conclusion do you, personally, draw from this question-asking, Socrates? Laughing

Yup.

Nevertheless, out with your point please. What is your personal conclusion you have drawn from your reflection on semitism and semites?

The "point" which has thus far been proven is that there are too many mindless trained seals who, caring little for truth & accuracy, operate largely on the basis of false assumptions.

Even you Justin, fail to clearly respond to these simple questions.

I have all the confidence in the world it's something you're fully capable of doing. Simply reason it through.

Semitic, SEMIT-ism & anti-"semitic" misnomers are purely ignorant & offensive.

On antisemitism in Korea:
One of my students said to me, a glint in her tiny little eye, "teacher, I saw "Piano' movie, and you are Juden."
"What do you mean? I look like the famous actor, Adrian Brody?"
"What? No...you look smart and ugly, and you like music. Kind teacher! You are Juden! Ha ha ha."

I'm not even Jewish, but that cartoon, I must say, makes me want to beat people up really badly.
ahahaha you must be teaching your students well if they can come up with insults like that

Koreans are not anti-semetic. They hate all Non-Koreans equally.

This is your point? I thought your point concerned Semites, Semitism?

Whereas I have no confidence whatsoever that you are capable of stating your point in concise English.

Reason what through?

How does this link support your position? How is it even relevant? I challenge you to explain.

What misnomers? The term anti-semitism is specifically used in reference to attitudes held towards Jews.

Is it just you or does this guy seem to babble on and on without making any sense whatsoever? Does he lurch from one non sequitur to another? Are you baffled by his obscure metaphors? Can he really MEAN what he just said? What in the hell is hey talking about, anyway? Is this guy smoking something? Well, yes...in fact he is.
