Wylde...his comment was an accurate reflection of a certain part of the foreign population here....not all of it but a part of it.
Why would that comment make him "korean".
As for queue jumping...being home in Canada now (vacation) I can tell you it happens here too. How positively shocking. |
well homer... i have never seen anything like it in australia... the canadians i know would never think of such a thing..
ya sure they aren't korean/canadians?
it is the lowest form of civility... that type of thing is too common in korea. |

Of course. But there was a lack of arrogant or confident justification about it. People usually excused it by saying they are in a hurry rather than sticking their chest out and raising their voice.
And I never was inhibited from saying "Hey buddy, get back in line." Maybe I should learn how to say it here. But I guess I often feel like I don't have the same rights here as a guest in their country. |
