That distinction was questioned.
"Dude jail or PRISON"
"Prison dude, yeah dawg".
I don't know why you guys act like this doesn't happen. If you go to any bar in the US there are these people doing this, it's so odd. It's also a well know trait of Americans that non-Americans rather frequently mention. There are all those reality-TV shows now too, with the life of prison dudes, and kids sit at home and fantasize over it, how they are gonna be a tough prisoner one day! Ha, weird country. But it's not allowed in that culture to shine a light on it and just say, wow what the hell guys!?
Also I don't know what a "troll" is or why internet people keep saying this weird thing. Basically anytime they don't want to deal with anything they just say "troll". What does it even mean, I bet most of the people saying it don't even know what they are saying.

There. Now you can't deny knowing what it is ever again.
I have never heard anyone brag about being in prison, back home or here. Considering the fact that E2 visa holders have to have a clean record, I doubt that it's a common occurrence here. Are MPs allowed to have records? I don't see how this would warrant bragging for them. Perhaps in the ghettos back home, where being "hard" is a "virtue," but not here. Try again. |

If you don't know what a troll is...go look in the mirror.
Think of the poster ...KimchiNinja.
That will help you to know what a troll is.
Then...follow this link...and read some of the posts by this poster.
It will also help you to understand what a troll is.

Thanks for saying that and saying it so well.
I had thought of saying something similar but decided that I couldn't be bothered.
I'm glad you did bother.
Now, if only something could be done about that other troublesome fellow - the dog-from-the-moon, things might improve marginally around this place.
He's slightly insulting to dogs though, in that as far as I am aware, our earthly canids do not come from or inhabit the moon. Maybe he needs a new sock? |

I guess he ain't read the sign that say I'd been to prison. Someone ought to warn him before I knock him off his chair....
There are people who will read that sentence and understand it's significance. There are others who won't. The one's that know where it comes from and agree with the sentiment are apt to be influenced by someone saying "I've been to prison". But that's back home. Over here if someone said they'd been to prison they're probably a liar and either way they are a complete retard for bringing that up.
But the people who seem to believe that claiming you've been to prison is treated as nothing back home are incredibly naive. They're probably the same people who think racism is pretty much dead back home and would be shocked and appalled if someone used a racial slur back home. There's a MASSIVE undercurrent out there that isn't in "our world" when it comes to progressive ideals. We sometimes forget that the majority of Americans do not hold college degrees and don't think in the academic mindset. |

As someone who has been to bars way, way too many times for his own good, I have never, ever heard anyone talk about his/her time in prison.
I have also had people from over 30 countries stay with me in the past couple years. Many of them have had the lovely Greyhound bus experience and met some interesting characters. None of them have ever had a story about meeting someone talking about his/her prison experience (now public masturbation incidents and gun "experiences" are an entirely different story!).
So in short, your perception is either completely wrong or you're just full of it. |

Are you guys serious? I don't even like bars and rarely go, and yet hear this all the time. I mean there are a lot of Americans that have been in prison, so I guess they feel the need to talk about it. Personally I would never be in prison in the first place!  But I certainly wouldn't talk loudly about it in public.
Maybe you guys just aren't aware of your surroundings? |

Dear Bucheon Bum, is it really binomial? Does your pebble sized mind not allow for any other posibilities?
How can it be "perception" when it just happened last week at Seoul pub. What does perception have to do with it I wonder? What does full of it mean? That I have some personal interest in this existing and randomly make it up?
Why wouldn't that obvious answer be true...that it happens all the time. |

And there we have it. There are all kinds of passing through people in that place. And there aren't any non-working girls in there anymore so it's a sausage fest of straight up weird people. I met a Saudi Islamic jihadist in Seoul Pub during the summer, not even joking. |

Wow, there are working girls in there? I never seen any girls at all, just a bunch of random foreigner dudes and sometimes a Korean (probably not a local).
Don't know what a "Saudi Islamic jihadist" is but it sounds like fun! |

I hope you don't think that the people in TV reality shows are a representative population of the United States. Because that would be kind of dumb. |

Putting this in the OP would have helped. |
