In saying that, the breeders here who agree with them just want to protect their spawn. You must understand that the egg baby was brewing for 9 months and they want to get their moneys worth. Some young punk threatening their offspring brings out the crazy in parents.



That's right.

OP, I have no problem with scooter riders running over old western couples or there dog.... depending on my mood I may even be slightly in favor of it (especially the dog).

Bottom line, scooters who ride on bike paths are dicks.


No, tight-ass nerds who go around the internet and make snarky comments at anything that doesn't fit in with their little realities are dicks.

PS, my offer's still open.


Right on, Bald. What was the offer?


So what did I say that was wrong? Bike paths = bikes, sidewalk = pedestrians, road = cars. How is this hard to grasp?


you ever been to konkuk university? there's a large road where all the bars and restaurants are, but people walk in it all the time. that road is designated for cars, not for people. they walk in the middle, the left, the right, everywhere. are these people dicks? shouldn't they be off the road? oh but wait, there's no sidewalks there. hmmmm...... what about hongdae? those people are walking on the roads breaking all sorts of laws aren't they? should they be stoned as well? (someone said they would throw a rock at me if they saw me riding on the sidewalk)

you're black and white rules of where scooters should and shouldn't go are unrealistic in a place like seoul.

Man I hate the westerners here. All of you, get out. Go.


Snobs they are. OP, you met a snob who thought you were Korean. I can't count how many times I've seen snobs acting rude to both Koreans and other Westerners.


only happens because some people "take it". The day I accept being "scolded" or "tsk tsked" by some old bag/hag (of whatever ethnic banground or nationality) is the day I'm going to go home, slice off my balls and bleed to death.

I'm sure you'll make great "husbands" though Wink

I happen to love it when scooters go on bike paths. I think it's exciting and fantastic and guess what, there's nothing you can do about it.


Nothing that can be done for your love of it, or the activity itself?

Your love, keep it. Enjoy it. Roll around in it.

The act itself, I have and will voice my objection to it in person.

you really say something every time you see someone riding on the sidewalk? wasted effort.

btw, i just rode to my bank, and.... GASP.... i rode on the sidewalk to park. and guess what? all along that sidewalk, there are cars parked there. and cars driving in and out to get back onto the road. oh my god!! i think i should carry a bag of stones with me to throw at them since they are doing something illegal. or maybe i should wait for them to meet them in person and ask them "where is the road?"

Pretty sure it's legal for bicycles to go on sidewalks.

Well don't say you weren't warned if a cop decides to make an issue. Make sure you have your paperwork in line.
