their mother thought they were in england.
I'm guessing they were working a little tag-team action for the Korean businessmen on 3-day holiday. |

| I'm too lasy to read it, but aren't England and Thailand a little far from each other? |

No matter why those two girls were there or what they were doing, they were still human beings. Even if they sold themselves does it make them any less human? I don't really think so. They still had families, they still had feelings, they didn't deserve to be murdered. Imagine if these were your daughters or sisters or cousins. How would you feel?
I remember losing my cousin in a horrible way. I wouldn't wish anyone to lose a family member in a horrible way. |

Yeah, there's really nothing about this story that calls for irreverent sarcasm.
If some Korean politician had made a moronic, nationalist statement about this(eg. "Such an awful fate would never have befallen these girls if they'd stayed in the Land Of Four Seasons"), then some satirical commentary would be more than justified. As it stands, though, it's just a story about two people meeting a violent and tragic end. If your dislike of Korea is such that you find this story an apt excuse for venting against the entire culture, you should probably give serious thought to living somewhere else. |

What makes you think that sarcastic criticism based on unfounded tastelessness warrants segregation? |
