Why cant they be more accepting of different colours and people of different races? what makes them think they are so superior?

1/10 - your previous enthusiasm is lacking. Put your heart and soul into the troll attempt, otherwise why bother?

For your next assignment, why not try writing a detailed account of an encounter with one person, then expound on how that one person's behaviour epitomises Korea as a whole. For added emphasis, why not quote from a random online news source, then extrapolate from it in an incrasingly questionable chain of logic until you come to your attention seeking conclusion?

Your troll must engage the people you want to enrage, make them feel there is a reason to give you the vitriolic response you so obviously crave. This poorly thought out attempt only provokes apathy in the unfortunate reader.

I'm dissapointed in you. I thought you could have been a condender.

I want you to train harder than you have ever trained before. I want you to frequent the shady corners of the internet where lesser mortals fear to tread. I want you to return from this humiliation bigger, badder, and fit to chalenge such all time greats as M-Su.

I believe in you. You can do it.

Don't make a liar of me.

Seriously, I replied this topic a while ago and thought it was a great inspiring post, but my damn pc was f***ed and my reply disappeared.

It is a question I have been thinking long.

My guess is this cute-philia is from Japan, Korean culture especially mordern culture was greatly influenced by Japanese. (How clean and neat Japan is~! so is their art.)

However being neat and clean only meets one requirements of cuteness, another quality of it is being naive or innocent...

Hmmmmmmmm, It would be such a composition I would love to write, bt I cant do it tonight...

Fixed it for you. Still kind of generalizing, but I think it's fair.

Don't believe me, try walking your golden retriever down a crowded street or bringing your cat to school.

It's borderline pedo, or whatever the female equivalent of ephebophilia is.
