It's funny to realize the sham of it all. You'd think there'd be some dignity amongst some of you, that some would stand up for who they are, or were. You know what I'm talking about.

Those here. They want to play both sides of the fence while in Korea. A lot probably've come from the remote parts of the Western countries like Newfoundland, Alberta, Texas and NewZealand. It depicts their mentality. They can't but cover up the fact they're ignorant by pretending to be something, or someone, which Korea is apt to give them. This they then show off by being something, supposedly an english teacher, which to them is a great leap forward and uranus step upward. It's funny now to think of these delusions Korea presents, and presented.

Because Korea and this forum think they're in the center of the world, or that they're really cosmopolitan. But outside, it represents nothing, and is no where. You're spitting in the rice over there. Plenty of surplus. Your moans and whines and cries indeed are real, except what isn't is the pretentious ploy you've developed towards believing you're of some importance, which a lot on this board and in Korea, as foreigners, have displayed.

Check it out newbie, you'll see. The idea that they're something makes you seem like nothing. They actually believe this. It has to do with the fact a lot of them come from, well, countries or part of the country from wherever they're from that are of little influence and importance, thereby throwing them into severe cultural shock since Korea gives them this delusion they are, and aren't.

They make them think they aren't because of Korea's nationalism and ethnocentrism, and then some. Those that teach there then develop a complex, even to the point of becoming pseudo-sophisticated.

It's a bunch of rubbish.

Americans have dignity. Anyone with some dignity would stand up for who they were without playing the game both here and as one stripped of their own national and self-identity. This they have to do by not sucking up, which a lot that've been there a long time have either done in two ways which they will cover up to deceive you, newbie.

They get hitched for a free ride.

They pretend they're someone, somewhere, somehow supposed to be so-professionally pseudo-sophisticated on the only place they can find someone to hear them.

Take your babbling bullocks elsewhere.

Always stirring, never actually contributing to anything.

Well, all I can say is that you are not doing a great job of "covering"

Take your trash somewhere else please. No one is interested in hearing it.

Alpha-Epsilon is a troll, and trolls should be left alone, even the ones with bigish vocabularies.

Your freshman sociology term paper is a grand effort, but sadly, worth no more than a "D". Keep trying. You'll get there some day.

Excellent points.
Screw this!

Looks like I'm moving back to Omaha, where I can be professional, sophisticated, and have some true American dignity.

BUT,
I'm takin' my free ride with me. Wink

I'm probably wrong, but there's just something about the attitude and the style that seems so familiar.


Anyway, I have enjoyed this thread.
