You know I just found out recently that Dokdo is closer to the Japanese mainland than it is to the Korean mainland.
It's probably better not to dwell on these things, especially while any Koreans are around. |
And the Falkland Islands are closer to Argentina than they are to the UK. So what's your point? |
Las Malvinas son Argentinas. |

| ESL Teachers should boycott South Korea considering it treats Westerners like dirt. That won't happen though because people need to work and we are all driven by greed. However, I became a teacher because I am passionate about education, educating, knowledge acquisition and human developement. |
So if YOU are not driven by greed...why are YOU teaching in South Korea?
Gotta love how you say WE are all driven by greed...but in the very next breath put yourself above the rest of us by clarifying your reasons are more pure-minded. |
It's not a superiority complex. Maybe John really is superior. |

For all the bluster and anger about the Samsung-Apple fight, Koreans will never give up there I-Phones because they are better and because of the chic factor. Owning an I-phone means you are better than everyone else who doesn't have one. Seriously, having a Samsung Galaxy caused my wife a lot of embarrassment when a lot of the other mothers she knows had I-phones so I finally let her get one.
Same goes for cars. Korean are proud of their Hyundai-Kia's but anyone with the means will buy a foreign car to show that they are above everyone who can't get one. |
Are you going to let her get a BMW when all the other mothers get one too?
