Remember you can not say
x happens in korea
x happens in other countries
therefore korea has no worse problems with x than any other country

Let's take an example

Paris has smelly sewers
Korea has smelly sewers
therefore Korea and Paris are both smelly places.

Yet, I've lived in Paris, and Korea. I had to go way out of my way to find the smelly sewers in Paris, as in a tour. In Korea, you just go outside.

People in america pee in the woods outside
People in Korean pee outside
Therefore public urination is the same in Korea and the US

I watched a principal at a school I worked at, whip it out on a street corner, and pee in front of two MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS. This would have you placed on a sex-offender list in many states in the US.

People get drunk and puke in america
People get drunk and puke in Korea
Therefore they are the same

I attended a party school. The University of Delaware is a wild, crazy school with 3 day weekends every week. I saw vomit, sometimes, under a tree, or in some bushes, or maybe in a trash can. The bathroom at a 24 hour diner in newark was cleaner than the street in my town of 70,000 on sunday morning. Orange puke stains the street like landmines left over from some war on vomit.

Korean women produce milk for their babies.
Cows produce milk for their babies.
Korean Women are the same as cows!

Seriously a lot of the 'logic' used to defend (and somtimes attack) Korea is so bad I wonder what is going on here...

I like the fact you have a 'Russia' avatar.


But other than that, I think you are a bigot, and should go home and live in sparkling america.

Next time I pee in the woods, I will remember this thread.

[poet13]

Next time I pee in the woods, I'm going to smell it. Then the next time I pee in front of middle school girls, I'm going to smell it again, and see if they're the same.

While agree all these examples are invalid, it's for different reasons


I'll use your example

[Ilsanman]

1. Public urination happens in Korea,
2. Public urination also happens in America.
3. Public Urination happens much more often in Korea than America.

What's the conclusion now?

[poet13]

Americans don't pee enough?

[Captain Corea]

Anyone who has lived near, or worked in a club in N America knows that urine, blood, puke and other bodily fluids are not saved to be done away with in the forest.

There's a shit load of nasty stuff in and around club in NA.

Part of the issue in Korea is zoning. The fact that there are drinking establishments right next to ... everything.

If all the drinking places were rounded up and taken out of the residential areas, I have no doubt that the complaints about vomit and such would fall massively.

[Ilsanman]

Don't forget the sheer number of bars. A lot of places where I am from double as a restaurant (with proper meals) and have an attached bar. Most of them never get really busy, but occasionally.

Zoning is certainly an issue. What gets me is 'massage' places in the same building as kiddie hagwons.
