Korean Job Discussion Forums

There was an article today about how some murder cases might be left unsolved. I've been trying to parse this particular sentence:

[Ya-ta Boy]

I believe there are one or two other threads dealing with the Korea vs Basic Math controversy.

All I want to know is what kind of crappy editors are working for these papers? Not only does the sentence make zero sense grammatically, but any sufficiently intelligent copy editor should have noticed the 2 million cops figure as kinda TOO HUGE.

I remember a few months back they had a headline that Korea was going to be making a "generic flu vaccine". I thought "wow, Korea is going to create a vaccination that can work against a broad spectrum of flu viruses?" That's a huge, huge medical break through. I read the article but it was about Korea was going to manufacture a generic version of an anti-viral drug. A vaccine and an anti-viral drug are two very, very different things. Again, any reasonably intelligent editor should have been able to recall grade 12 biology and flagged that headline as highly inaccurate.

Buncha idiots.

Just remember that good jobs in korea are acquired by "who you know/are related to" rather than "what you know".

Close, but I think it's more like "who you went to school with" and "what school you went to" rather than "what you actually learned and can apply".

I think we should give it a name: pseudo-confucianism- the appearance of a meritocracy without the substance.
