The new head of the Korean Red Cross (KRC) has come under criticism for past comments belittling both China and India.

Kim Sung-joo, chairwoman of the Sungjoo Group, said that "most Chinese worship money" during a sermon she gave in 2000 at a church in Incheon

"They would kill people for money. That's China. It's horrible that such a country is thriving right next to us," she was reported as saying.


Quote:
Talking about her experience of traveling to India, she also said the country was "very dirty and disordered."

"For the first time in my life, I felt so proud that I am Korean when I traveled to India," she said. "The people there lived just like dogs, pigs and cows. And they didn't know what's wrong with it."


The complete and utter lack of respect for others is what makes the rest of the world have utter lack of respect for Koreans.
Koreans just aren't fully developed yet.
If it weren't for expats, can you imagine just how bad Korea would be?

I think we should all chip in and get cmxc a stripper and some beers or something. Maybe a free go at the ponies or the casino. Let him hit the exacta and have some joy.

One thing for sure, Park Geun-hye needs a better group of advisers to better vet her selections. My god, over and over her chosen candidates are scandal ridden. Maybe it's a generational thing, where not many people from that era are clean...

I dunno.. he goes overboard a bit.. but he does have a point.

I mean.. what is this crap?

Quote:
Kim later apologized, saying she had "made the comments as a believer within a church.


So, I can be forgiven for anything because I said/did it within a church?

Time to start publicly making examples of people again.

The system is clogged with dinosaurs from the Park Chung hee era.

So are you saying India is a clean and orderly place and that money is not the ruling ideology in China?

Ask the Falun Gong.

He more or less told the truth but he is in a position where the truth is no longer a luxury.

Ban is a joke, so is the entire UN. They chose appropriately with him; a clown to run the circus.
