Some crap stuff has been happening lately. People are getting screwed with their contracts. Wages aren't that great. The employers have the upper hand.

But you can't blame the Koreans. This depression is really the fault of westerners. We supposedly have representative democracy. But we are all too busy getting high and watching porno to fight for our rights. We've handed over the power to the puppeteers.

Examples: NAFTA! Nobody wanted it in America. The government crammed it down our throats. Plants left to go to Mexico. I didn't protest. I never wrote letters to my congressmen or senators. I was too busy smoking dope in my dorm room. Goodbye jobs.

George Herbert Walker Bush gave China the most favored trading nation status even after the Chinese killed all those poor kids in Beijing. I didn't protest. I never wrote letters. Nobody I know protested. Hell, we were getting stoned and looking for girls.

George W. Bush never closed the borders. He wanted all the illegals so that his rich friends could get cheap labor. I didn't protest. I didn't write letters. I was too busy getting drunk in South Korea.

Obama put most of the money from the first stimulus package in the pockets of rich Wall Street bankers. Everybody treats him like he's little lord Jesus.

How about you Englishmen and Scots? When Gordon Brown sold half the UK's gold reserves to foreign investors for 250 dollars an ounce, how many of you protested? How many wrote letters? Gold is now 1000 dollars an ounce. Try to figure out how much was stolen from your country. Did anyone even raise an eyebrow?

The Koreans now have us by the nads. The market is flooded. Is it their fault? In a way. They should honor their contracts. But if we had actually participated in the process, perhaps we wouldn't even be here in the first place.

1. This is in the wrong forum. It's not directly related to jobs.
2. It's pretty trollish. I'd accept it if it were in the correct forum.

Do I disagree? Not really. Immigrant populations are treated like dirt everywhere, and that's what we are.

Hmmm.. and you said I have an agenda? What's with spamming the forums with yesterday's news?

Face it, you are a slave to the global corporation called the human race. You won't escape it unless you build yourself a cabin deep in the wilderness, hunt and harvest your own food, shit in a hole, and wipe your ass with a leaf.

You can take heart in one fact. As the dollar begins to collapse, so will the Won.

Sometime next year, you'll see the Won devalued to IMF levels. The Korean government will be forced to do it in order to sell their exports.

So, when the won goes to 2000, a max exodus might occur--if people feel they have a job to go home to.

All I have to say is this: Asmith is a genius! Like I said in another thread, I know some people back in the states who are finally agreeing with me and Alex Jones. Yeah, when it's almost too late...maybe already too late. All most people care about is what is on TV at 8PM, who won stupid American Idol, and if you ask them if they read, they say, "Yes, I read People magazine". I'm ashamed to be an American. That's one thing I can ay about Koreans. They would ban together and protest new world order garbage being shoved down their throats. Most Americans just walk around with an I don't care attitude. I actually went to college with a guy who said all he needs is enough money to buy beer and go fishing...what a hick.

This is exactly what people will be doing to escape when that mark of the beast stuff gets started up. Take this microchip or else you aren't working, buying food, or buying anything. You will have to go live in the woods and try to live off the land.

if you look hard enough you'll that all of our problems are caused by the white man. Let us wage war on them, kill them and take their women as our French maids. Smile

This is why I plan on becoming a police man once I get better. Tight job security in my homeland and always get to take out the trash. Cool

Will you arrest your wife's gangster father and shoot Big Foot on sight when you encounter him again, too?

Seriously, how many bigfoot and gangster references can you people cite? A little originality would be appreciated.

I thought you were coming out of the closet in wanting to be a Police MAN and not a POLICEMAN.
Freudian slip?

You would have to stop smoking weed, troll.
