 |
|
1. The Social Issue
Begins as a an earnest observation about a cultural problem in Korea.
Ends with a belligerent attack on the OP as racist
2. Koreans and Foreigners
Begins with a link to a Korean media outlet using hyperbolic and simplified stereotypes about foreigners in Korea
Ends with a belligerent attack on the West as racist
3. The Social Problem
Begins with an honest and timid person posting about a problem s/he has had relating to a Korean
Ends with Mr-Dokdo telling the person to shut up and go to Geckos to have sex with a Korean girl
4. The Work Problem
Begins with a disgruntled and usually inexperienced teacher complaining that their job is terrible (although, in fact, it's just worse than being a university student).
Ends with Real Reality posting 50 links about how horrible Korea treats its foreign workforce. At least half of said links are dead.
5. Seek and Find
Begins with someone asking where they can find a difficult-to-find item in Seoul/Korea
Ends with a lambast against Seoul as a disgusting polluted cesspool full of cutthroats and vagabonds.
6. The Complaint
Begins with a lonely, exhausted, and overworked teacher complaining about a nearly insignificant problem that put them over the brink
Ends with flames that the OP should STFU and move back home.
7. The Joke
Begins with an obvious satirical post parodying or satirizing the surreal experience that is Korea and/or Dave's
Ends with twenty people not getting the joke and telling the OP what an idiot he is
Am I missing any? |

you just forgot to add that every single one degenerates into old skool posters calling each other racist and apologists.
And then someone apparently starts a fight about Islam/Evolution |

jkelly80, I see you changed your avatar. Thank you. I couldn't read your posts because your last avatar was so unbearable. This one isn't much better though. Please don't hate me. |

1(A) The social issue.
An bunch of people attempt to cover up overt racism under the pretense of critiquing a social issue. When called on it the thread ends by said people calling the whistle-blower an apologist. |

Lambling's finest work. I guess the broken watch being right metaphor comes to mind.
That avatar is old school. At least I think it's from way back when.
