Here's a resource. Don't be typical, be different. Be an individual.

Teaching about the real history of America will get you more respect, because it will show your true heart and be good for you as well.

Be a real American.

Well, I don't think it would be called "ondol," then.

My classes are English classes, not History classes. I am lucky if I get them to understand to say, "hotter" instead of "more hot".

Native americans are darker than koreans and are not korean. My students don't give a crap about their history.

Indians are dirty and poor. Koreans don't want them teaching English to their children.

JAD, the Americans are this board ARE Native Americans.

As for the non-Americans, come on board! BE A REAL AMERICAN! JAD said so!

"Until now the oldest known ondol heating systems were built 2,500 years ago by the Korean people of North Okjeo in what is now Russia's Maritime Province. The Alaskan ondol are about 500 years older, and are the first ondol discovered outside the Eurasian continent."

so that means that actually the koreans copied the "ondol" from the americans! Laughing

Like JAD himself, that's one massive but.
