I just noticed this statement put out by Korea Immigration Service. In light of these new visa regulations, do you feel "embraced?"

Am I alone in my disappointment in finding that the Commissioner of Immigration (the COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION!) is as lacking in vision and enlightenment as the average f*ckwit on the street?

Is this barely credible newspeak agit-prop genuine? Is it some sort of joke? Or are we to take it that the Commissioner of Immigration is nothing more than a desk warmer who came to the position by virtue of his being someone's brother-in-law?

EDIT: It puts me in mind (and please read no alarmism aforethought into this) of the propaganda that the Nazis would put out in the 30s saying how they were leading the world in protecting the Jews and solving the Jewish problem by moving them into their own part of the country.

I agree this guy doesn't seem to have a "open" mind view of immigration if you ask me... especially if he thinks were all leeching off of Korea's wealth and homogeneity... I mean for goodness sake, this guy must be reall closed minded and pessimistic towards foreigners... obviously.

I like the tone the official uses when he describes resisting the tendency to treat foreigners at second-class citizens. However, this is probably not going to be read or translated to 99.9% of the Koreans. It's just a mask put on for foreigners.

I like this idea:

Of course they are you ignorant dweebs. Korea is the world leader in everything that has been and everything to come. BOW DOWN!

My recent post on signs of insecurities covered this:





Materialistic
A very dangerous coping mechanism for insecurity is buying things you can�t afford just to show off. We can all think of people with huge TV�s, fast cars, and every toy known to man; even though they don�t make much money. People like this tend to run up their credit cards and get themselves into big trouble.
A secure person doesn�t need to show off. He doesn�t care what other people think about his possessions.



Defensiveness
Insecure people tend to be very sensitive to critique and respond with defensiveness. They aren�t comfortable enough with themselves to accept that they might be flawed.
A secure person can handle criticism. They�re open to hearing about ways they might improve. If they disagree with the criticism, they don�t try to argue because they�re happy with who they are.
They�re comfortable enough to be themselves, even if other people don�t like it. They realize that they can�t please everyone.



Self-Promoting
Insecure people tend to talk about themselves constantly, as if they feel like they have to prove themselves. Self-promotion is paramount to over-compensation for doubt.
A confident person doesn�t need to promote himself. His qualities are displayed naturally by the way he lives his life. Besides, he doesn�t need validation from anyone anyway.






Overly Competitive
Competitiveness is part of a healthy emotional makeup, but over-competitiveness is a sign of a problem. Someone who can�t take losing by making a big emotional display lacks confidence.
A person who is secure with himself wins or loses with grace. Grace has a lot to do with respecting your opponent, and you can only do that if you are first comfortable with yourself.
