Culture shock!!!! White superiority complex!! Nothing new here. This is posted everyday on Daves. Wow! people in other cultures eat foods that we dont eat back home. Live differently raise children differently , and it just blows many newbies out of the water that thingsin Kores arent like they are back in Broken Moose Ontario

Not every Korean person, not even half I reckon, like dog meat.
Again, to live crammed in with other animals then get killed at the end is the same as a chicken's life in the western hatchery factory places or the same as a cow's end in the meatworks.
Some people love cows as much as another would love a dog.
Personally, I like some dogs, but I find some of them just poo creatures, dirty, smelly and sometimes viscious and stupid. Not all dogs are intelligent like Lassie and Benji. That's just fiction.

Punishment in school is pretty engrained. I think it should be taken out, too. It will eventually I am sure.

There are a lot of uneducated people. That's why they do anti-social things. They've never been taught. It's a lack of ed. I am in agreement with a sentiment you express that people here accept too much of others and don't necessarily reprimand the behavior when they see it.

But then, the prison population here doesn't exceed 5% of the adult male population as it does in California. Are there that many anti-social males living in the US?

Being literate in hangeul doesn't mean being educated.

The police especially are pretty useless for enforcing their own laws.
But then, just like the West, being a cop doesn't mean being educated.

I'm from the west and truly believe we need to cane people like Singapore. I'm not talking students, just the ones that we think shouldn't reproduce.

[quote=\"Mithrae\"]Dear Korean teachers, if any of these apply to you, you are unfit to be in the classroom.

1. You use corporal punishment against your students. This, of course, is illegal, making you a criminal.
2. You teach your students to hate certain other countries, and to look down on others because of their skin colour.
3. You are indifferent to the suffering of animals, and pass this indifference on to your students.
4. You eat dog meat, knowing full well the conditions in which they are raised, and how they are killed. Such a person should not be responsible for the moral instruction of young minds.
5. You litter and spit on the street. This shows a disrespect for others and (at best) an indifference to public health.
6. You beat your wife and/or kids.
7. You regularly run red lights. This shows disrespect for authority as well as public safety.
8. You fail to put your children in safety belts, and your infants in safety seats. Someone who shows such callous disregard for the wellbeing of their own children, should not have any role in the raising of other peoples\' children.
9. Your children never see you during the week, except when you stumble home drunk at midnight.
10. You think it\'s okay that students show open disrespect to foreign teachers, even though you\'d cane them if they did the same to you. This shows a lack of common decency and empathy/respect for others, making you an unfit person to be in the classroom.

Why the discrimination? I do most of those and I\'m not Korean.

'br_owen,

^^Gotta agree with slowmotion. I don't think the OP has too many braincells rubbing together.

...tell that to Hitler.

Fine, the dude below my post did a good job of negative examples that are easy to generalize/true.

But just in case you're not convinced...

'Korean women go bald more easily than western women.'

'Korean men are very skinny.'

'Korean streets are very dirty.'

I think you're misunderstanding me anyway. I'm not saying i have a problem with these things (at least not all of them). I'm merely stating that is perfectly reasonable, from an academic standpoint, to generalize about a group of people (animals). It's what we have done for years, as a way of understanding behavior. People just have this knee jerk reaction to the word nowadays, as if in some ways it makes you akin to the KKK. I'll say again - it's fucking retarded.

One more for the road.

'Retards are generally bad swimmers.'

was that a stand-up piece?

I eat meat too, but from an evolutionary standpoint - i think we're meant to be herbivores, otherwise we'd have sharper teeth and claws to rip open flesh. It's not natural for us to eat meat the way we do. The food supply of things we could actually catch, kill and eat, would die quite quickly if we weren't meat farming...
