To me it sounds like he is describing 90% of Korea's male population...or are all those passed out Koreans just tired, those soju bottles/cigarette butts on the sidewalk decorations, and those red light districts a tourist attraction?
In Korea what color are pots and kettles? |
Is this really called for? 90% of Korean males?
Knock it off, guys. |

| I'm curious about when we started to love the word racist. Did it come around the same time as lol? It's a bit racist and dumb for sure but nothing outside the ideas I have seen before, even in myself. lol |

It was a key word of the 80's.
When you try to involve the masses in politics you'd better use the simplest, most emotive words imaginable. |

Indeed ZIFA and I was just glancing over the posts again. It's funny what can get published that fakes itself as well educated. Or should I put a hyphen in there somewhere, or a misused apostrophe, which I hate a lot, almost as much as lulz, which is at least harmless.
Point is, most people are good people, but if they cannot express themselves correctly, seeing it's a foreign language or whatever, then it comes out wrong. Thing is, this is not disguised as attempts to use English. It's not concealed well enough. He didn't conceal his thoughts well enough. He should be a janitor. |

I've long since quit putting the blame on "low English level" when someone spews a bunch of insulting crap at me. The truth is they're saying exactly what they mean. If you get the feeling a person is trying to shame you or looking down on you... they are!
This thread marks the first time ever I've agreed with Steelrails on anything. Or maybe the second.  |
