The whole damn forum there is a train wreck waiting to happen. As much as I believe in freedom of expression, on a business oriented site such as that one would think that the moderators/admin would be prudent enough to realize the counter-productive nature of the bile that is spilled in there and act accordingly. This is yet another reason why I gave up on ES an aeon ago, there is seldom anything worthwhile on that site.

Anyone who is patting himself on the back and being thankful this place is filled with so much more educated and civilized people, stop right now. Similar sentiments (western women suck, Korean men suck, Korea rocks because they pay you to sit on your ass and speak English, etc.) can frequently be seen on Dave's. It's merely that they've been edited to come out a little less offensively.

Exactly and I'd like to add that the editing takes it's sweet time in many cases.

Has a screaming child dulled your mind to sarcasm? Or do you just like to spray virtual menstrual blood on Dave's users without regard to what you're actually reading?

Some of the native-speaking English teachers of the website �English Spectrum� have yet to correct their �bad habit� of degrading Korean women. �English Spectrum,� a community of foreign English teachers who have come to Korea


Yeah! No one degrades Korean women except Korean men! Goddamn foreigners, where the hell do they get off! Korean men can beat their wives and girlfriends in public, rape anyone and anything in a drunken stupor and laugh it off as a foible or minor character flaw, grope women who "look American" or Russian, sexually harrass their female co-workers (especially subordinates! ah-ssa!), cheat on their wives and girlfriends as if marrying was a commitment to do so, have unprotected sex with hookers and THEN go home and have toxic unprotected sex with their wives....and that's the short list.

Besides, saying college girls in a stiflingly prudish, repressive, male-dominated are easy is like calling french fries greasy.


Quote:
An official from the Korean Internet Safety Commission said it was currently deliberating three URLs related to English Spectrum based on tips from netizens. He said that based on the result of the deliberations, it could order the site shut down, issue a warning or take other measures (meaning they would accept bribes in lieu of cooperation).


Golly, pretty much ALL expat websites would be shut down for the kinds of things foreigners say about Korea in general (like how Kimchi is compost with gochu-garu and tons of salt and how dried squid smells like a raging vaginal infection) if god forbid, a pack of rabid Korean netizens high on cheap imitation coffee and nicotine decided to decipher Dave's ESL Rectal Wart or de ol' Kimchee Pot. Saying ANYTHING critical about Korea falls under violation of that whole "love us completely or be destroyed by us completely" section of their short list of actively enforced laws?

My re-education is long overdue, in that case.

I looked as hard as I could for any indication of Canada-bashing....and alas, found none. Don't they know most of the teachers here are Canadian? Canada...BAD. USA...good. They should have bashed Canada, but they didn't...and they're getting a fiery letter to the editor for that oversight.

Classic post, Paper Tiger. Of course, your funny, yet too-honest-for-publication post shall be deleted, I'd bet a worn out, old K-Chick, within, say, seven hours.

Again, spot on job, Yank!

There you go again, dissing Corporal, who has made an excellent point in perspective to the OP's thread. But you, you get down and dirty and forget about the subject altogether. You are really beginning to tick me off. And don't bother replying to this, because I'm just gonna verbally slap you another one. Now, stick to providing some sensible and constructive comments on this forum. Thank you.

I just like to reflect her hair trigger menstrual venting in kind. I'm sure she's an entirely decent woman in real life.

Actually, MMT, with that ridiculous avatar of some wet dream of yours, and with your stupid and illogical and defensive comments, you're a bit pitiful. I'm getting a kick out of dissing another BShitter who owes everything to Canada but arrogantly professes otherwise. You're a sad little fellow, but I firmly believe that you are capable of generating the odd constructive comment to this forum if you keep trying.
