| But Korean parents love their children more than anyone else in the world! |

If it is, it's one of the best shops I've ever seen. I can tell a photoshop job from a mile away, and this isn't one. |

| I see that several times a day. Why would you need to photoshop it? Surprised Straphanger and crossmr aren't in here crying about how that could possible be on the internets. |

As part of the English teaching community in Korea, wouldn't that be an 'EPIK fail'...

| Yesterday I saw a two-year-old girl almost get hit by a car. Grandma and mom were in hot pursuit, but if she had strayed a few feet to the left while running aimlessly as fast as she could down the road she could have ended up in the morgue this morning. |

Yeah, after looking again I withdraw my accusation of 'SHOPPED. The low detail made me a little sus, but the lighting is perfect and the fact it's shot from a moving car probably explains why it's a little blurred. |

I certainly don't let my toddler ride his trike in a busy street. Do I pass? |

Actually,
I was told that some Korean mothers encourage their children to do particularly dangerous behavior near cars so that they can develop boldness and become fearless.
But I think that starts to approach Eugenics when you're willing to risk your childrens life just to produce strong behavior....
I mean, this isn't sparta, it isn't like there is any utility in having children do battle with an oncoming car.
Actually, I think this parenting style is the root behavior for a lot of immature and obnoxious behavior we see in kids.
It's becoming popular for parents to prevent scolding and correcting children as not to make them shy or introverted. I heard a mother tell me that some parents actually don't correct children's behavior for fear of making them weak. (AKA. Polite) |

Does this mean only perfect parents can criticize koreans? What about us who dont have children?
And why do only perfect parents get to criticize Koreans? Like why would a perfect set of parents who lived all their life in Ireland get to be the only ones who could criticize koreans when they've never even met one??
Oh and by this notion only a perfect human should be able to criticize another human, so why are you able to criticize other people?
I see parenting isn't the only fail here, bye, bye logic as well. |

I'm not a perfect chef, but I can sure criticize Lotteria and Kimbap Nara 
Also I own pets but I'm not the perfect pet owner. When may I criticize the guys who beat and eat stray dogs? |
