To ingrates: the place is feeding you, even if it's only kimchi. That has to be better than the welfare line back home. And you barely have to work for it. Then there's the huge bonus: plenty of in+out, and a cheerful boozing attitude.

So, please, please, please start to be thankful.

Wonderful Goryeo!

Why do Koreans think back home we were on welfare or worked at McDonalds? Teachers and business people are educated and professional. Now maybe the young just out of college kid is here to have an easy job and might have worked at Mcd's in high school like many people do.

This notion that all foreigners could not get a job back home with a good economy or a bad one is plain ridiculous.

The funny thing is, the teachers and business people here now, will be in high positions within corporations or governments in the future.

For example, I was an English teacher for about 4 years and I became sick and tired of the lying and stealing the Koreans do. Now I run my own business here in Korea.

My future plan is to write the Canadian government exam to become a overseas diplomat and work at the Canadian embassy in Seoul.

I do not see welfare lines or Mcdonalds jobs in my future. I also doubt that 99% of teachers here when returning to their home countries will work in the fast food industry. In addition, my high school friend works at Mcd's and was transfered to Alberta where she makes 60k a year and had a house bought for her. How many Koreans make 60k a year?

P.S. Kimchi tastes like a dogs ass. Where I am from only the super poor eat cabbage. Enough said if you have to ferment it. Laughing

You got tired of Koreans doing this and that but then decided to stay and start a business in Korea? I see. And this is proof that you can get a job back home?

People whine and whine and whine about Korea, but still they stay.

The misfits here will one day be in high positions within corporations or governments in the future? You are one funny guy!

I know a Korean who makes $1million per year. How many Canadians make $1million per year?

Dokdo has two speeds: 1. Talk about sex with Korean women; 2. Talk about how foreigners should be grateful to be in Korea.

So, not a one-trick pony; a two-trick one.

I agree, we should be grateful for easy women.

I don't know if the OP is Korean, but that is the typical line of crap people feed themselves to feel better. If I were a Korean and had to watch foreign guys get a decent paying job handed to them, foreign guys with a gochu twice the size of mine having their way with my women and living the good life while I was busy working crappy hours for half the money, I would be bitter as well..

Sounds like the kind of crap loser white guys back in America say to themselves when a girl they want to date decides to date a black guy. They will tell themselves that he is a drug addict, cant hold a job and whatever kind of bullshit they can think of to make themselves feel better. In most cases it is not true, but it's all bullshit to make themselves feel that they are somehow better than them.

I would suggest to the OP that foreigners may not be as ungrateful as they appear on Daves. Of course this is a place where many foreigners come to vent about this and that, but I would hope the OP can realize that the stuff that comes off the keyboard may not be a true representation of the actual person or their feelings. I like to believe that many if not most of the "ingrates" as you call them, are more grateful/respectful/understanding about the opportunities that are available to them than you can read from various posts on a discussion board.

Actually, I am one of you. So, it doesn't make me feel good at all to write the above. The ingratitude makes me feel bad, and that is why I write to urge a change of sentiment.

You already started a thread like this. Antagonizing Dave's netizens is not clever or subversive, it only makes you more pathetic than those you hold in contempt.

I se. Alright, I admit I am pathetic. More pathetic than anyone else. Now, can people start to show some gratitude to Korea for saving them from welfare lines and giving them much more? What problem do people here have with gratitude?

Does Korea issue E-2 visas so foreigners can feel gratitude?

No, I don't think so. They issue them so foreigners can teach English to Koreans, often Korean youth.

Foreigners need follow the law and do their jobs. Maybe they should respect the customs as well. Gratitude doesn't seem relevant to the contract.
