Tell me about it! I hate living in clean countries where people treat each other with respect and kindness.
Saying people are too clean and too kind is like saying you earn too much money.

I love *beep*. I love squeezing them, hugging them, kissing them, motorboating them. Seeing a nice pair of *beep* raises my spirits. I also like a nice ass. I love squeezing it and slapping it. Just thinking about sweet *beep* and ass make my eyes tear up with joy. |
Ok, we got it.  But are you Korean? Don't really sound like it. I just meant I don't think they fetishize big breasts here like they seem to in Japan. And cleavage? Almost doesn't exist here due to the way they cover it all up. |

| Confusing politeness with kindness can be a tragic error in judgement... |

Doesn't matter. Generally, I'll take fake politeness over brash impoliteness any day.
The stereotype is that Japanese are polite to your face but secretly dislike you. Well, as long as they keep the secret to themselves, who cares all that much? No harm, no foul.
Contrast that with Koreans, who, when it comes to negative interactions, can often be quite direct and impolite....AND dislike you. That seems like a Double Whammy in most cases!
That said, there's something to be said for at least knowing where you stand with someone. |

I'm not Korean, just a fan of boobies. Winter makes me sad because the chances of seeing a nice pair decrease. Now truly is the winter of my discontent. |

Japanese don't like outsiders. They may smile at you and say polite things, but that's changing. The Japanese are becoming more insular and right-wing. There is a lot more outward racism and hate speech and the Uyoku trucks driving around with speakers on the top.
I prefer knowing up front where I stand with people. I don't need them to blow smoke up my ass and give me their phony smile and polite talk to make me feel good. |

I don't need it either, but you have to admit most interactions go more smoothly when both parties are polite and act in a civilized manner. And I doubt you REALLY would prefer if everyone let you know where you stood with them, unless of course you relish constant conflict. Politeness is the grease in the machine; makes everything go smoother, even if some of it is BS. |

If you're a leg man, things are just fine in winter.

That's what's fun about it though... it's like being on another planet, rather than being in a cheap ripoff of a western strip mall, which is what Korea sometimes feels like, SEoul at least. |

| In my opinion the Korean writing system is superior. It was developed quite a long time ago. It has survived through the centuries. I think Japanese writing could use some refinements. I don't see that happening anytime soon. |
