So what do you figure, which would you rather deal with?

Easy.

The teens where I'm from are out of control and stab-happy.

Drunk Korean guys are easy to deal with.....just say, 'whoa.....Koreans very strong. Very strong!'

The sad thing is though, these Korean men are 55. At least the teens in my country have the excuse of youth.

Even worse is that many of these 5'2'' 140 pound ajeossi's think they are inherently powerful men because they're Korean!! KOREAN-POWER!! Can you imagine your Dad back home in Canada thinking he's stronger than Americans because he's Canadian?!!!
People would think he's an idiot.

It really depends. Wannabe gangster teens are usually just that, wannabes. But I have seen teens in the US who really don't give a flying sexual intercourse and act out without any regard for the consequences. Americans are generally more confrontational while Koreans despite all their tough talk, fold at the first sign of actual confrontation. I also didn't have to deal with teenage thugs on a daily basis in the US while I have to deal with ajushis everytime I step out of my house in Korea.

I chose the ajosshi because he is supposed to be old enough to know the difference. Unfortunately, sometimes not.

The ajosshi is a creampuff when it comes down to it, and even if he wanted to fight, he's just as likely to fall down on himself than do anything. Better yet, watch him try to fight his friend, and make a total ars out of himself. Good times, I wish I had my camera.

I certainly don't miss those young guys back at home. Talk about a waste of sperm.

I've seen the drunk Korean geezer. I'm not an 8 year old elementary school girl, so he doesn't scare me.

I'll face that geezer any day of the week.

Really? Teens "back home" are that bad? Where is "home" for you, anyway?

And she wanted to turn the basement into an exercise room.

LOL. Unlikely - we don't have a basement and my mum has a lifetime membership at a local spa club that my dad arranged before he died.

Css - yes, that's why I won't be going home in the foreseeable future. I am a minority, too, being Chinese. Just not worth it. The job market isn't that great either, anyway.
