Haha also. Brilliant point.
Is there a link to this subway thing perchance? |

Either you can't read, or more probably you have a tendency to deliberately twist the statements of others when rushing to Corea's defence.
Of course nutty people do nutty things in Germany. However they do different nutty things which reveal a different underlying cultural mindset as I said earlier.
You won't find germans exposing their y-fronts in the street in an effort to be taken seriously. Nor will you find a neo-nazi cutting off his finger in protest. |

Nope their cultural mindset is revealed through the original-nazi's mindset.
But I believe that sentence I wrote above is utter garbage, just as your sentence is. |

Really? Mind showing me how the general public approves of such actions? How it's acceptable to most?
Junior, there are nutters who get naked in Germany too. |

Nutty people doing nutty things in Germany...
Kiwis appal at beer fest [appall is misspelled]
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10679340
Drunken kiwis have shocked spectators at the world's biggest beer festival with a public booze session that involved drinking vomit and urine.
The behaviour happened during Oktoberfest in Munich, which finished this week.
A TV documentary also screened on German TV recently about New Zealanders and Australians getting hammered and behaving obnoxiously at the festival. |

They're trying to prove their manhood by seeing who can stomach the most disgusting concoction. Korean guys do the same by downing large live octopus or chili..

The youth of every nationality, all over the planet, get hammered and behave obnoxiously. Hardly noteworthy is it?
None of the above, however, relates to the Korean mindset of protesting by taking your anger out on a defenseless animal. Crowds tearing a live pig apart by pulling ropes tied to each leg. Or demonstrating against Japan by beating a pheasant to death with a hammer.
Do you see the difference? |

I don't eat four legged animals, but pulled pork is a popular recipe.
I have eaten live nakji octopus, not bad. |

And I disagree. I don't see this as Korean mindset at all. It just sounds like generic protesting to me.
Millions of things happen in these wild protests. Pulling a pig apart isn't exactly something in say, Afghanistan would think of and go 'Urgh, no way, only Koreans do that, Let's find the nearest cow and beat it to death, and then throw it on the nearest tank after setting it on fire'.
Thinking about it, of all the times on this forum I've heard people go 'Koreans are so', 'Korea is so', 'Only in Korea' etc, I don't think there's been a single occasion I haven't thought 'This is the least culturally exclusive thing I've ever heard'.
Not related to the thread though. End |
