| What matters is this disturbing incident in which a whole Korean family is murdered. Sounds something like VTech with the multiple murders and crazy ethnic Korean. |
If you ever get around to developing research skills, you might want to dig up some actual stats showing that crimes such as you describe are more prevalent among Koreans than among other ethnic groups. Because otherwise, your whole line of speculation on this thread is pretty damned pointless. |

Sure, and I'm allowed to say that your opinions etc are completely lacking in insight or significance. |

You've got your opinion, and I frankly don't care for it.
If you wanna go around obsessing over insignificant details, go ahead. But unfortunately you personally attacking other posters over such insignificant details just shows how retarded you are. |

Funny how you now claim that the number of murders in that neighbourhood is an "insignificant detail", seeing as how you were the one who first made it into an issue on this thread.

The quote in question was taken from this report
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070904.wbcdead05/BNStory/National
| Quote: |
Until Tuesday, Oak Bay, a suburb of Victoria roughly equivalent to Toronto's Rosedale community, has had only one murder in the past four decades. |
It said "past four decades", so I assumed the last murder probably happened forty years ago. But if the last murder happened in 2004, why didn't the journalist just write "within the last decade"?
So my background description was valid, taken from a news report. Just because some guy found another news report written by a different journalist who had different information doesn't give him the right to be offensive towards me. |

Well, here's a helpful hint in the social skills department for you...
When you come into a discussion and start making generalizations about an entire cultural group, that's not usually going to be interpreted as an invitiation to mild-mannered discussion.

I'm not overly offended by this kind of remark, but it IS an insult, phrased as such, and by posting it you're pretty much inviting people to respond in kind. And, if your insults are based, even in part, on factual inaccuracies, you can hardly blame an offended party for making fun of that.
The bit I quoted above was the first insulting comment posted on this thread. So, you were the one who set the tone, and everyone else was just following suit. |

Does your fallacious reasoning give me the right to be offensive towards you? 'Cuz that was part of my original post, don't forget. You ought to rebut that, too. |

Was that guy Korean? Or is he defending Korean culture just cuz he has a Korean wife?
I dislike Korean culture, so what? I openly express it, doesn't mean I mean it as a personal attack. If they disagree with me about Korean male behavior, then they should write about their own experiences instead of personally attacking other posters. |

They aren't fallacious to me. And what explaining do I gotta do to you? I have bad experiences with Korean males, nothing's gonna change that. You want me to write it all out? There's too much to write about and unpleasant experiences. Even if I did write it all out, there'd obviously be identifying information, so what do you want me to do? I ain't gonna do that.
So rebutt what? You want to be a pervert making people expose themselves about the horrible experiences they've had? You like digging into other people's lives? |
