"I went walkabouts once, came home, and my wife was gone! I just didn't understand it!"

"How long were you gone?"

"Ohhh... about... one and a half years!"

Period.

hey boy,

you are being racist here, do you know?

There are still people with this mindset.

Get a life boy.

saying koreans suck is NOT racist. there are many things that could be said which would be racist but that isn't one of them. as a group, koreans do kind of suck. its a fact, not a racist statement. don't feel too bad- this surely isn't the only country with that problem.

as for the article, apparently the court didn't follow due process as it was found. the guy wasn't there and they thought he was. unless his wife found a guy with the same name to stand-in, which i guess wouldn't be impossible since so many people have names that are similar or the same. or if she had an id of her husband's sitting around that she gave to the stand-in. if i were to say that it would be easy to do that since koreans tend to look so similar to each other, now that could be racist.

Again, indicative of how poorly run the judicial system in Korea is. I hope I never have to deal with them....

Saying Koreans suck isn't racist...it's a bad generalization but not racist.

Anyway, "Korean" is not a race, it is a nationality. And race doesn't exist. Still, not the most sensitive remark.

Gotta love it. Koreans dont have much creativity in general. But when it comes to ripping people off, they are freakin Picassos.

This is a sad commentary on people in general, not just on Koreans themselves because it shows the depths that our fellow humans will go to profit off of the gullibility of others. This woman should be held for fraud and treated to the full extent of an enlightened legal system. I doubt that will happen, however, and in order for another human to save face (the judge and the justice system), I have little doubt the person who suffered through this whole process will continue to suffer because no one will ever want to own up to taking any type of responsibility or accountability.

It's easy to point fingers and condemn Koreans because it happened here, but I can so easily see this happening almost anywhere else, if someone was given the opportunity to screw over a fellow human at little risk to himself or herself, much as this woman had little risk when she filed all of this while her husband was working overseas and unable to even realize the rest of his life was being screwed over by someone he may have actually loved.

"koreans suck" is inappropriate.

It is inappropriate in general, and it doesn't fit this thread, either. The woman in the story sucks. Perhaps the Korean judicial system sucks. But how does one get "Koreans suck" from this story?
