There were a few cases in the states that made national headlines. Where were these teachers when I was 15? Wink

Having sex with minors should be punished to the fullest extent of the law but it must be said that (at least in the U.S.) there seems to be a double standard when its a woman and a minor boy.

Also, I'd imagine it would be a bigger uproar (and accompanying new legislation) were it a foreign teacher, even if it were a woman.

In 'Let's Face It - 90 Years of Living, Loving and Learning' Kirk Douglas reveals:

"I had been a ragamuffin kid of 15 coping with a neighbourhood filled with gangs. Under my teacher's guidance I became a different person. I am eternally grateful. By today's standards she would have gone to jail. I had no idea we were doing something wrong. Did she?"

I don't get why these boys would let a good thing go and start blabbing about it. It it were me, I'd keep it quiet.

Can we get a link?

There IS a double standard. People think it's perfectly 'okay' for a bunch of mid-40's women to swoon for Justin Beiber or that idiot from Twilight, but its 'creepy' for mid-40's men to give the same actions & behavior toward say- Miley Cyrus (and Brittany Spears before she went insane). Suddenly its okay for women to act like perverse animals yet men must be held to a higher standard. Crying or Very sad

not fair

I think the teacher is actually 35.

Would be nice to have pictures. Anyone translate the details?

As sirius said: Can you imagine the xenophobic orgy if the teacher in question was a barbarian NT, regardless of gender?

Very comprehensive & credible sources there, Conserv...er, myth!

A Korean rag and a blog that didn't even claim the accused(unnamed, as was the American in the first story)was arrested.

Now we have the full story! Kudos for your detective work!

Lickspittle.

I was there in '02 when I saw the demos against evil Americans who "murdered" girls with "tanks". Where was your head?

Really? I had a very different place in mind as to where your head was buried.

Mr. Wish??!! Not a clue there, mate. I DO know that the The Conservative moniker was your sock puppet til you were outed...but I digress.

The "sources" you cited are absolute garbage. THEY don't mention xenophobic activity, therefore none such activity exists/existed. Brilliant.

I'd recommend you to PRAVDA but I think its circulation has declined since '92. Better stick to your post with AES.

The article makes the point that Koreans don't differentiate btwn. soldiers/civilians when it comes to xenophobia.

KOREANS DO NOT WANT FOREIGNERS(Western or otherwise) in KOREA.

Bottom line.
