Those foreigners who have experienced these things in larger or lesser doses are perhaps fortunate in that all romanticism about "living in another country" is bled out and understanding of the extremely abused around the world is ushered in. For example: I never thought about reading articles on the plight of foreign workers around the world. It was always the romantic/shocking asia- never the "we trap, hold, threaten, and abuse" asia. I never really gave a rats ass about what went on behind the scenes. I never thought- just enjoyed or used. This could potentially spin-off into something positive as a global citizen.


On the other hand, I'm terribly tempted to be pssssssed off that my country breaks its back to fully pamper (immigrants), enable(immigrants), and has even become a haven for Asian-based Organized crime in unmanageable/staggering levels- the races that abuse foreign teachers and offer almost nil rights to them. I'm tempted to beg our goverment to close the doors to these people and offer "their own" (whoever that is- this could boil down to another form of racism on my part) incentives - large ones- to stay at home and become a domestic super power, have lots of kids, and to invade the earth with an even deeper proliferation of corporations that respect humans beyond being property.

Shouldn't you be out on a ledge somewhere?

Wow- - shouldn't you be in handcuffs? You know- cuffed to your ideas.

Its good that we experience these prejudices at some point- its certainly taught me a few things. hardship is a priveledge in life, because it teaches you a lot more.
It'd be good if koreans experienced the same things once in a while as well. Which is why it was nice to come across the odd lone korean backpacker in Australia, for example- rather than mass groups of Koreans in other countries surrounding themselves perpetually in a korean bubble....

Hmmmmm- I'll have to think about that- could work. Anyway- tempted.

So g-boy,

By that logic, since people in many third world nations treat westerners with disdain and since their governments are usually more authoritarian and fsometimes favor public executions you would have our home countries change the rules of immigration for them?

Isn't that sinking to their level?
How does that do anything except prove that two wrongs don't make a right?

Also your talking about basing national policy based on the internal laws of another country regarding their own affairs...yeah that would fly in any parliement-senate of a western nation...

If Korea or another country that has almost no AIDS cases wishes to deport any found AIDS cases then thats their bloody right isn't it?

As for deportation rules, since when do countries have to follow the lowest common denominator?

This was funny...thanks

-True , Homer, but there's no point all western nations holding good and liberal attitudes when all it results in is getting walked over by other nations...immigration- an invasion by the back door...

Korean treatment of foreign teachers should certainly be a determining factor in Western immigration policy. .[/quote]



Why would or should Western immigration care about a few thousand expats who have (a) left the country. (b) don't pay taxes (most of them) and (c) choose to live and work in another country? If you want to live in a country where you have "rights" (your words) the U.K is still available to you.
