Well Korea does seem to attract the strange ones and I have also noticed that forum freaks(as we'll call them) are usually the strangest of all.
Just put it down to pent up sexual frustartion from years of being a cyber nerd I suppose in honeycomb/koreanesl idiot i suppose  |

| Well what can I say. I phrased the post as carefully as possible. But these days it is so widespread that there is a 100% chance that at least one of your relatives has done it. That alone should make it worth talking about. Im also glad for the warnings... |

Most westerners do not view drug use as physically disgusting, but they do view scatological material that way. At one time, movies regularly showed marijuana use as a normal part of everyday life, despite the fact that marijuana was illegal. But bodily functions, which are even more normal than drug use, are never depicted except as an object for a certain type of humour which plays off of people's discomfort with the subject. There has been POLITICAL pressure to eliminate positive portrayals of drug use in films, but this has pretty much been a top-down affair. There is no need for political pressure re: bodily functions, as most people would just stop going to the movies on their own volition if defecation and urination became a regular feature of most films.

Actually that would make me start going to the movies. |

You really scream "i didn't do my research before deciding to leave my lax nation and taking a job in a nation where i'd face unspeakable horrors if i was caught with so much as a joint".
Seriously, what were you thinking when you took this job? |

I disagree with this statement.
If, for example, like me, you have read each and every new post at this forum 7 times, every day for 4 days in a row, then continue that system for, well in my case, a few years now, so that you have read each post 24 times, then you will know that all, yes 100% of the posters here are really just basically normal people.
The more familiar you get with each post, yes, each and every post, you see it has a personality of its own.
Eventually, you get to see that it is not the posters that are the ones that make up this forum, it is the posts.
The posts start to take over and control the minds of the posters.
The posters are no longer posting, the posts are posting.
We just simpley provide the fingers needed to hit the keys that the post that is in the process of being written wants hit. So, out posts are not a reflection of us, no not at all, it is just a relection of the posts.
You know it is like my great aunt Matilda used to say. Well, she was a Lesbian. God bless her heart. She lived to be 107. Boy did she love to smoke marboros and chug Old milwakkies. Oh heck, why did she smoke a brand of cigs. and drink a brand of beer that are impossible to spell. But then that's another story.

Oh. What was Dave Sperling thinking when he wrote this,
You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any applicable laws.
I thought we had just been talking about how strict drug law in Korea was. |

Ah, but the question then becomes whether or not posts talking about places where drugs are sold in and of themselves violate the law. If I say "A lot of muggings happen over on Ron Jermey Avenue because there's not enough lighting", am I abetting crime by advising would-be muggers that that's a good place to rob people? Or am I just stating a fact?
Now, if someone says "hey, I wanna go commit some muggings, what's a good place with bad lighting", and I tell him Ron Jeremy Avenue, then yeah, that's a little more cut-and-dry. I know that the guy wants to mug people before I answer the question. But the OP did not come on here and say "hey, I wanna buy drugs", he EXPLICITLY said he wanted to avoid drugs when he came to Korea. You can believe what you want about his actual intentions, but the fact remains that his post did not openly ask us to help him buy drugs.
I do find it odd that the mods seem to have gone completely AWOL and are leaving it to civilians like me to defend their policies. |

And we were just telling him in a variety of different ways to shut his mouth and find his own pills instead of asking about it on a message board. |

Wouldn't it been more subtle to ask about the Rave scene here in Korea.. (as thats basically going to be the same answer to this question).
I'd avoid public announcements of being or wanting to be in the drug culture or scene while in Korea as much as humanly possible.
One of my friends served 5 months of a 2-year sentence when they found traces of E in a hair follicle sample. (I wrote details about his experience on the 'have you ever been to jail'? thread awhile back). He wasn't even on the stuff at the time. |

OK... I see your points. However I would never consider bringing drugs into Korea. I dont see that my post suggested that either.
It seems that the drug scene in Korea has been driven completely underground by the authorities. That doesnt mean there isnt one. The fact is that the drug lords are more powerful than the police.
I dont see that discussing drugs on an online forum is "stupid" at all. As long as no illegal plans are discussed it is perfectly legal to talk about it. Last time I heard you cant be prosecuted in Korea for asking where not to go if you want to avoid drugs.
Someone suggested that I shouldnt talk about drugs online and should go and ask people for drugs in clubs. That would be illegal and that kind of advice could land a person in prision... Last time I heard, soliciting for illegal drugs is illegal in Korea. Therefore online discussion of the topic away from actual harm and in the realm of theory is safe and appropriate.
Has anyone here ever taken e in Korea? |
