Why because it's too cold? |
I'm from Manitoba and if it's not cold it's bloody hot, hotter than Korea with more humidity and the biggest mosquitos you will ever see. I swear if you stay outside more than 5 minutes around dusk they will suck you dry. |

Oh ho! So they ARE barefooted! Those crazy barefooted, mosquito bitten, flea ridden, hot-flashin cigarrette-buying, diaper-clad baby carryin MANITOBA MOMS!!! Maybe they ought to come here and marry a nice Korean boy. They could learn a thing or two.  |

I think, should such a marriage take place, it would be the Korean boy who would learn a thing or two. . . |

Okay, let's ask! To Coporal and all the Canadian, American, Martian Moms in the vicinity:
Have you learned more from your Korean boy or has he learned more from you?
Now there's a lure if I ever saw one!  |

I gotta say, man, that I've never encountered anybody like you who can so completely ignore the meaning of what other people say when it does not accord to how you want to believe things are.
The argument is dealing with a marriage between a Korean men and

After reading this thread one more time, purely for entertainments sake, I have decided that JH is probably the looniest Korean I have ever heard of, or dealt with personally.
JH,
Stop letting emotions getting in the way of your arguements. Use sound logic. You have yet to accept one thing that anyone has said here that somehow makes korea look bad. In fact one or two posters even agreed that Korea isn't all bad and that some parenting practices could be improved everywhere, but you continue to attack everyone you come into contact with.
I, too, am a parent in Korea. I am appalled by a number of things that Korean parents do and for the most part my Korean wife agrees with me and corporal. She doesn't agree with everything but most things. |

Zing! Where did that come from? Okay, I haven't read anything by Kimcheeking, but he has got to be the king of kimchee!
Kimchee,
Stop letting emotions getting in the way of your arguements. You are disputing my logic?
What makes Korea look bad that I don't accept it?

When you say "attack" what does that mean exactly? Debating the rhetoric used on this board? Or just calling people Canadian currency? Is this what you mean by emotional?
Rather than attacking posters, why don't we discuss parenting practices? Hey, Korea isn't all bad? I agree. Neither is the States, Canada, China or Fiji? You've read the posts; you don't agree. Care to argue?

Hey, so you have a Korean wife that does not agree with me. So NOT all Koreans think alike? Wow, this is news indeed! Or, is this a trick question? Was that your influence? Or was she "cool" to begin with? |
