Shut up.

Harping on about it like you've all personally been insulted just gives the rest of us yet another reason to hate you even more.

It's arrived. Get over it, get over the fact that Koreans' (and the rest of the civilized world) don't trust your administration and then get over yourselves.

You hate all Americans? Do you also hate all Jews, Blacks, Swiss, Germans, Brazilians or Mexicans? And do you speak for some collective group?


I don't think most Americans really care about the beef itself. They see millions of Koreans protesting an export based on lies and rumors. If you were from England and Koreans wouldn't buy English tea due to some made up rumors, you might want to point out the absurdity, even if you didn't drink tea.


You are right about one thing, the current administration is horrible.

Does anyone trust government? Nice broad generalization of an entire population full of diversity. You�re post is worthless. Don�t take the bait like I did.

Where can I find US beef? I'd like to stock up on USDA Tbone steaks. God I love American beef.

No, just the nationalists that bang on about beef.

Err... no I wouldn't. I don't care what other countries do or don't buy from my country.

This whole beef issue confirms you for the over sensitive reactionists that you are.

Feeling a sense of loss of empire this July 4th my Limey friend?
The American posters on Daves esl cafe no more reflect the opinions of America at large than you represent the opinions of the "we" you mentioned in your original post.
The beef issue doesnt even register among the general American populace.

Your linked picture better represents the Koreans on the beef issue. You can see that expression down at City Hall. No Americans cared about the beef issue until Koreans started protesting it and spreading lies and rumors. Many people, even non-Americans, do care about the truth and that the Koreans were mistaken. Now that beef is back and Koreans are waking up to the truth, the US beef is selling out in record numbers.

If the Koreans don't want the beef, that's fine, but at least base their decision on fact. This is something the American ambassador pointed out. Their response was, "Uh....beef is cultural, too. Yeah, that's is, cultural. No facts needed here."

If Koreans don't get the cheap beef, that's fine with me, too. And I don't have shares in US cattle farms, either.

If an American was wrong about importing Samsung phones because of a rumor, say "Samsung phones make your dick turn green," I'd be just as quick to correct their mistake.

Seriously, my GF is American and I get to sex her regularly thanks. And when I do, I always think of England.

In fact, the fact that you had to mention sex makes me think that you pay for it.

In the context of daves, I think the picture of a crying girl sums up the Americans reaction to the whole Korea/US Beef thing perfectly.
