Somebody suggested this. I hope that this might become a sticky. It seems to me that the AES appears to be a bit like the old KKK in the Southern USA, or Neo-Nazi skinheads in Munchen, Germany.~ Not really the beacons of Multiculturalism.

Please, post what the ARS are up to in this thread.

Korea is our home and we need to let the people know that we're her to make a positive influence on the culture. Spread the love!

Here-here!!! I agree with you totally.

But here's the catch~ To most Koreans, NETs are just temporary guests. In their eyes, it doesn't matter if a foreigner has been in Korea 3,4 or even 17 years. In the end, Koreans believe all foreigners will eventually have to go home.

Go ask a Korean.

I have an inside source who's a member....It's alot of talk and BS by some angry folk...trade stories, hate on the foreign, followed by giving the steely eye to Julian Kang on High Kick 2.

Although that foreign poker game they help break up and lead to arrests a few months back was actually due to an foreigner tipping them off!!! Talk about betrayal.....they apparently really appreciated his efforts Rolling Eyes

I get the impression that they've cleaned up their rep so they attract legitmate members who feel it necessary to keep on a eye on foreigners along with the wackos....joining site is a fairly easy process I believe so someone who is a member isn't necessarily someone who participates...

My friend also thinks they're vigilante talk is all BS...unless they're tipped off, they're not following us around in a white van.

I like the title of this thread "Anti Engrish Spectrum"

lets start a group called Anti Engrish Spectrum and start stalking them and reporting all the stuff they do (visiting prostitutes, accepting bribes, cheating on their wives, etc etc)

it will take them out.

Careful, there is way to much common sense in that sentence...

So, thousands of these Starcraft freaks and Salarymen who are worked to the bone spend their free time stalking NETs? Rolling Eyes

There's an idea..I suggest adding a humorous element to it. While they are all impotent rage, we can be almost pranksterish...

The big question is, what connection will be made between the Anti-Engrish Spectrum and Engrish Teacher Ryan?

Why are people getting so worked up over a small group of embittered morons? Most Koreans don't give a toss about us or the AES.
Honestly, the mosquitoes in my apartment have bothered me more.

That depends on whether any of the Anti-Engrish Spectrum lives in Daegu or not. If they do, they're jerks and he'll try and sever all ties with them.
