Could make for an interesting new topic:

Do you blame Korea for your problems?

okay, let's look at the potential good in all of this.

I have been here longer than most. And to be honest, this is a tempest in a teapot.

This all started when Koreans actually learned about and bothered to read what non-foreigners were saying on the internet.

This historic moment cannot be overstated.

Of course, it's like a kid who finds his parents diary and scans to the only thing that interests him. "Little Bobby is such a brat", Mommy writes.

So Bobby goes apeshit. "Mommy, I can't believe that's what you think"

Of course Bobby doesn't read the blurbs where Mommy praises his finer points.

Anyhow, Korea is finally reading. Remember, it's two steps forward, 1.99 steps back on this wacky peninsula.

Believe it or not, I think this latest brouhaha is a blessing in disguise.

For the newbies, don't take this too seriously. It's all about Korea, and not about us. We are simply a mirror through which they are working out their millenia old issues.


But by all means, talk to every Korean you know (calmly) and tell them what you think about this. Many of them are listening. And a large percentage will nod in agreement.

Blind Willie,

You desperately need a

A. Girlfriend
B. Friend
C. Religious "leader" guru, priest, pastor Monk-buddy
D. Confidant

Not every issue that comes up in relation to Korea/ESL is your own personal Idaho.

You definitely have a lot to say, and much, possibly most, deserves attention. But this isn't the place. Start a blog. Your voice needs to be heard, but here, it overwhelms.

It is kind of ironic that you are named "Blind" Willie. Is that maybe because your head is stuck up your @ss? The issue is that Koreans can air garbage like foreign teachers are womanizers, child molestors and 95% of them are illegal. This is total and utter sh*t. Sure some posters like to make blanket statements about Koreans but most of these are relatively innocuous. Like, Korean men cheat on their wives and frequent room salons on a regular basis. Certainly I don't agree with this either but I think it is small potatoes compared to airing such verbal diarrhea on national television. I resent the fact that they can trash my good reputation for no good reason. Sounds like character assasination to me.

No Korean man is going to suffer because some poster on here says Korean men cheat on their wives. I may lose a job opportunity because of this "hate mongering". Or worst of all, I may be subjected to violence. Trying to compare the two is idiotic.

good let koreans dig themselves into a grave again!
I hope all mothers stop sending the kids to HAKWONS. then perhaps we will see a backlash from HAKWON owners who SHOULD be already standing up and saying this is blown way out of proportion!
but will they stick up for the 95% legal teachers here who have done nothng wrong>? of course not!
koreans are like sheep! so they will all act like it.. I hope this SBS news BS shuts down the ESL business for good!
then lets see what happens to korea in 50 years!
again koreans showing how childish they can be..
sometimes I wish our governments were as stupid and as childish as koreans.. then we could just stop all education visas into our countries and stop education these people who have no respect for us or our countries and education system!
I think its time korea got a few slaps across the face! to wake up!!
why dont our governments fight back abit!
perhaps we need to remind the world again how koreans beat dogs and eat them again! I think CNN and BBC really need to be reminded again!
I BET the koreans will put up a stink about that!!
just watch them back lash!!
