This has a lot of names from Dave's, and my wife said it's really rude, but she didn't want to talk about what it said. Are netizens being rude to Dave's posters?

As far as I can tell, it's a selection of responses to the question:
Why did you come to Korea instead of Japan?

I didn't see anything rude though.

I asked my boyfriend. He says it's mostly just teenagers ranting about foreigners, ranting about Koreans, etc.

He summed it up with "they're freaky wackos ;?)"

If someone wants to waste their time translating my answers (taekwondo and kimchi chocolate, for example), let them. I think they need to get girlfriends and boyfriends, personally...

The comments are mostly along the lines of "ESL teachers are the scum of the earth, go home, it pisses me off that you come here and make money without any skills or effort whatsoever, just being able to speak your own language", etc.

A couple of them responded positively to PRAGIC's comment that he/she was curious about Korea and Korean culture.

Speaking of netizens - what did they say about me here?


문제는 해외 네티즌에게 이런 소스 퍼트리는 사람이다.

Both of mine were. Close enough to not make a difference, anyway.

But those comments are awesome. My favourite so far is from "dad": 저 개색키들. 지들 나라에서는 사회의 쓰레기에 백수 취급 받는 병신들이 영어 하나 모국어로 쓴다고 한국에 기어들어와서 완전 상전 행세 하고 있구만. ㅅㅂ 좆같다.진짜..


Can we still yell BINGO even if we're not reading a Dave's post?

My wife said it said something about sleeping with thier wives. I was interested in learning more, but reading stuff like that makes her upset, and I've learned not to push her to interpret it.

They're a bunch of folks who need to de-virginize themselves immediately. Sadly for them, Korean girls would much rather date foreign men who not only do not return from a hoff and beat them but also earn more than their entire family.

They wouldn't be able to come after us for posting their shit unless we would be able to go after them for posting our shit first.

lol, i was mistranslated.

i wrote "masochism"


i guess they read "machismo" (??) because i was quoted as saying "korea is a patriarch society"

pretty big mistake there.
