Just a typo. But I must say, since Bush has become such a hate figure, I feel the same at times, while living in Korea. It's always "Bush, Bush, Bush. . .moron," to Koreans. I've felt quite punished, as a result.
Unlike before, wandering through America, hitching rides from Montana to Chicago. I knew my country from the inside out then. I never watched the news, nor read the Korea Herald. Nowadays, and as a result of living here, I've felt more distant and patriotic then I've ever been. Korea stokes my ire. Hate is very destructive.
I think of what Jesus said: "Marvel not if the world hates you," but sometimes, it doesn't work. Why?
Listening to the news today, I'd heard, "We raped little girls and old women," from an African being interviewed on BBC. He was probably in Darfur. Ever hear of, or read, the 'Times' and about Russians blowing Chechen's heads' off with dynamite?
I am, thereforre, a little intertwined with governmental justice. I am also disturbed because some Korean guy, last night, tried to kick a weakened, chained up Cocker Spaniel. It was a dog I'd taken under cover for fear of something worse.
Then again, just last night, as I held the blonde-haired pup in my lap, a Korean trio of men said, "Chagun Kae, mashineyo." I couldn't believe it, this dog being a pure bred. To make the story straight, some Korean women had disowned it, and now, I've given it a little help.
Could they, those Korean men, have said this because such a dog represented dogs as pets, antithetical to the dog eating culture here? One of the men was a farmer. I'd thought such dogs were partially safe, but had heard about hangings with such helpless dogs.
On the side, I saw the a liberation monument today. Someone fought here. Nothing to do with dogs, nor me, nor Koreans. I think it typifies Americans. I just wonder about this dog though, it homeless, rootless.
Then again, looking at the monument, I could've sworn I saw something. Yet there was no recognition either, the monument standing stern and strong against the stark sun. I think of China casting its shadow over Taiwan. Is China land-locked? I hear worse.
I think to myself, Are Americans "free and easy?" The left-out grizzly bears in the Bitterroot mountains say, Is it that easy?
How hard it is sometimes, just to be free, or easygoing.
I'm tired or caring, of being patriotically polite, or correct. I'm tired of bowing down to the faults of America besides. Sometimes the grizzly bear has to be unleashed, lest you want to see it in the zoo. |

Just thought I'd say something about Bush and governmental justice. I almost had a glimpse of this fact, seeing that monument and all. |

I doubt the OP is a real American. It is obviously a troll trying to provoke some America bashing. I dread to think that it was a genuine post. |

My genetics professor likes yeast.
Yep, old man who wore the same ugly shirt and pants to every lecture and loved talking about yeast.
We all believed he must've had some sort of yeast infection. or wants one so he could cultivate it.
don't mean to gross y'all out.
I'm trying to get over this limit already so i can start PMing people for info, cuz i'm going to be a newbie in korea. |

I didn't understand a single thing that poster was trying to say. Almost like some guy took snippets from 10 different guys grade 10 notebooks and slapped them all together after drinking a litre of russian potato vodka. |

I didn't bother looking at the date. 3 Years ago! Man, who was bored enough to fish out something from 3 years ago! |

So far, this is the third thread I've come across today where this OP has brought back a three year old thread. None of the threads are of any particular merit.
The OP is a troll of the nuisance variety. |
