Last evidence you gave proved the opposite. You'd probably make a lot more headway if you got your act together and tried to put together something coherent.

This much butthurt over some ages old thread really says a lot more about you then me. It's a wonder you can get out of bed in the morning. |
No, the fact that you went pages upon pages in that thread rambling on says a lot about you actually. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning for that hagwon gig? |
Never worked at a hagwon, you're batting 1.000 today.
While I may have gone pages and pages in an active thread, you're so bent out of shape over it months later you can't get over it. Those are some pretty serious mental issues. You keep letting them build up and you may become a danger to yourself or others. You should consider talking to a professional, of any kind really, seems like a lot of different things could probably do you some good. |
Obviously you're bothered. |

Not at all, you only wish I was because it would give you justification for your behaviour. The thread is dead and buried, I've long since moved on. You might want to ask yourself why you can't. shame? inferiority complex? resentment? Whatever it is, I'm sure if you look, you can get the help you need. I think there is someone who does counselling who posts on the forum. |

Good stuff. I hope you feel better about yourself now. Be careful out there. |

Best for you to take our own advice, Ms. Park. But first you might take a remedial math class and bone up on your numbers. Once you can add and subtract things will become clearer.
Case closed. You can go back to watching your dramas and home shopping. |
The failure really is complete with you on this. 160k won is less than $169USD + shipping/customs.
You can probably pick up a primer, and no, you really can't try to use the full price, that was the price you paid and that was the price in the US. |
Ms. Park, go back and look at your numbers again. You've forgotten to take into account the jackets are not the same.
Have you been doing something naughty with tum? You've both made the same mistake. Cheaters never prosper, Ms. Park. |

How much was the 2012 when it was for sale?
it's unlikely that the 2012 was any cheaper than the 2013 when it was out.
You are the one who brought up the comparison. If there was no point to compare the prices, why bring it up? If there was, stand by it.
Even though it is basically sold out everywhere, I did find the 2012 for sale on a couple of sites, $179. Looks like it was cheaper in Korea. You're right, cheaters don't prosper. Neither do misogynists suffering from dementia. |

Ms. Park, why the mendacity? The 2012 is gone and the regular price for the 2013 is $169.95. It seems you need both math and reading refresher courses. |

You brought up the jacket for comparison, and it disproves your point. Both the 2012 and the 2013 jackets are more expensive than the one you bought in Korea.
As I said, some products are cheaper in the US, not all products. I have found some products cheaper in Korea, as have you. But, to address your original post as you were so desperate to do when you were in the full swings of dementia, no one was buying washing machines in the US, shipping them to Korea, and saving so much money that it was worth it. You've failed to provide any evidence to support that. Any time you'd like to, feel free, until then, continue your break down, it's absolutely hilarious. |

You're getting there, Ms. Park, but it's you who are still desperate to, for some reason, defend Korean merchants. Change that "some" to "most" and you'll be almost there, and you can put the kimchi sweats behind you.
And yes, people were buying washing machines and refrigerators on Black Friday. That's why it was news.
Ms. Park, I know how bad it can feel to be left out in the cold. But look on the bright side; you'll be ready next year. |

You've given no proof anyone bought washing machines. You keep saying it, but seem to lack any proof, as I've already pointed out, none of the washing machines could be shipped to Korea, and if they used a third party shipper they'd be paying in the high hundreds for shipping, easily more than a washer costs in Korea. You want to hang your hat on the first post, pony up the evidence. |

You keep projecting but it still doesn't make it true. I guess it could have been anger instead of shame that has been driving you since that thread died. If it is, you really should see someone. Anger lasting that long isn't good. Really drives up your stress levels, shortens your life, and would generally make you a giant dbag to be around, which I think we're already getting a sense for. Try a search on counselling, I'm sure you can find the person I was talking about earlier. |

I don't think that referring to someone by "Ms. Park" or whatever and bringing up stuff about their interest or use of cosmetics has anything to do with the discussion. Sorry, but if you have to resort to those kinds of things to make your point, then at some level you probably know your argument has holes.
Regardless, I'm sorry Korean merchants try to maximize their profits instead of maximizing yours.
Do you think English education is overpriced? Isn't that an example of "greed"? I personally don't, but I always find it weird that everyone thinks that everyone else but themselves charges too much for their services.
Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that if certain people had never set foot outside their country, they would be ranting about how "greedy" the companies are back home? You could charge them a nickel for a Big Mac and if the price went up to 8 cents, they'd scream about greed.
You don't have to be rich or a merchant to be greedy. Consumers can be greedy too. |

Wow! Guess more Korean women will like us instead of gay guys. I mean those of us who don't wear makeup, wear pink, or have manpurses. Ha ha. |
