2MB = the President of Korea (Lee Myeong Bak)
I got two offensive remarks from members that I have a bad grammar this week. And I got another offensive remark from a guy when we discussed about 2MB.
I'm not really in the mood today. Sorry. |
This is Dave ESL cafe, you gotta have tough skin when you're posting in this forum. Sarcasm, rudeness, narcissism is rampant around here. Watch out for the grammar nazis, they are the worst. |
"is rampant", should be 'are rampant'................  |
see what I mean?......  |
Sentence fragment......That should be, "do you see what I mean?"
|
"Sentence fragment" is also a sentence fragment. |
Let us not overlook the improper usage of ellipses. |

You should start a sentence with a capital letter. There is also the question of misuse of ellipsis, and "Sentence fragment" itself is a sentence fragment. It should be "That is a sentence fragment. You should have written 'Do you see what I mean?'"  |

Don;t worry-there are plenty of us of out there who feel the same way.
In fact, I went to school with this one girl who had a acquired IQ of 180 She had such a complex brain that no one could understand her/nor could she understand anyone else because it would just become too simplex after a certain point, so between her always feeling like a know-it-all, and the 'hater/jealous/indimidation factor from everyone else, she felt very alone..
Sometimes it just has to with realting well.
Maybe that is how you are feeling?

| This is the problem with Koreans coming to North America and having kids, and only speaking to them in Korean, and only letting them have Korean friends. |

Replace that with the muslims in Europe and Islam, and you will know why Angela Merkel declared that multiculturalism is "kaput". |

It seems that I get a lot of offensive remarks about me. Some people say that I have a bad grammar. Some people say that I don't think like any other foreigners in Korea because I hate 2MB.
So really. Does anybody really hate me? |
It depends why you hate LMB. If you hate him because he's too interventionist in the economy, if you hate him because he's expanded socialism and the economic destruction of Korea at an alarming rate, or if you hate him for his Gandhi-esque response to the murder of his citizens by the barbarians in the North, then I don't hate you.
But if you hate him because he's not socialist enough for you and you want us to bow down and bend over to the North even worse than we are now, then yeah, I hate you.
Also, I hate you for your thread title. It is moronic to think that we'd hate an entire race of people just because we hate you. "Do you like blacks?" Well, I like my friend Casey but I don't like OJ Simpson. You should probably put a check on your tribalist attitude. |

I don't see any point responding to this. Cut down the hate. |

LOL...Okay Linguo the Robot...
As for Grammar Nazi's all I have to say is..."Grammar Power!"

As opposed to the rest of the men of the world who are like "Hey, how's it going? You wanna have sex with my date?"
And what, you think the gyopo girls are dying to have you rub yourself against them for 10 minutes while you swivel off-beat and spill a Jack & Coke down their back?
90% of the time someone is being blocked because they are hideously drunk and the dude's date is giving them the "do something about this guy" look. Of course Tipsy McHorny with his alcohol-induced ego believes that "she totally wanted me and that dude was just blockin." |

I'm not talking about alcohol induced night outs. I am talking about stone cold sober situations. A couple of western friends of mine thought they had made friends with some gyopos. What they found out later, was that these guys were speaking Korean to their dates/gfs (korean girls, not gyopos) behind their backs, hey what u doing with these whiteys etc etc, well and truly trying to stick the knife in.
I am 100% not surprised (through personal experience) though as this is very common with Asian/Asian-Western men, when it comes to being "friends" with western guys. |

Sounds like Cali Gyopos. Your friends are better off for not hanging around those wastes of space.
Gyopos from the Midwest are the most chill. |

Most of the Kyopo I have met have been quite cool. The professionals I have met have been equal to any other expat I know.
I have met a few (surprisingly, all from the US) that seem to have... 'issues'. I remember one guy I worked with saying 'F! The Whites took all the good jobs in the US, and now they're doing the same to me here!?!?" He was an angry guy and most everyone didn't like him.
I see Kyopo as I would pretty much any other foreigner here. Unless they've got tight family ties here, they're often swimming against the same current i am. |

I've never met a gyopo, in Korea or otherwise. (Other than recruiters over the phone).
I've met a couple of halfsies, but English is definitely their top language as the American parent didn't speak much Korean.
I will say, I'd rather be hated for something I can't control than hated because I am social awkward. |
