Ban Ki-Moon’s United Nations says the South Korean government discriminates against E-2 Visa language teachers in S. Korea. The U.N. sure was slow in making this decision but it’s not like they missed a deadline or anything. What has this got to do with the safety of “foreigners” or Koreans? Given that the S. Korean gov’t hasn’t done anything about safety for Koreans(Sewol sinking), so what you gonna say about it now S. Korean gov’t(immigration and education ministries)? http://populargusts.blogspot.com/2015/05/cerd-rules-that-hiv-tests-for-foreign.html

“United Nations committee on Wednesday reprimanded South Korea’s mandatory HIV testing of native English teachers as discrimination against foreigners, urging the country to abolish the policy.”
“I say, South Korea, consider yourself both reprimanded and urged! And if you don’t end this discriminatory policy, you will be reprimanded and urged again next year!”

I was too kind with “United Nations says the South Korean government discriminates against E-2 Visa language teachers”
…actually they said the S. Korean GOVERNMENT(MEDIA etc…) is discriminating AND RACIST with the E-2 visa language teachers while also being racist, xenophobia, through stereotyping and/or stigmatizing etc..against other “foreigners” working in S. Korea as well.
I like this part…”The Committee called on the Republic of Korea to grant L.G. adequate compensation for the moral and material damages she suffered.”
Is S. Korea going to force “L.G.” to file a complaint in a S. Korean court for her to get her $$$? If so, this could take at least 1-2 or more years. But as of now let’s consider 20% interest on let’s just guess and say she was to earn $40 thousand for her 2009 contract year and add 20% interest from 2009 until now…that would be $8 thousand per year through 2015 = $40 thou + $48 thou = $88 thou for “material damages” + attorney fees and “moral damages” she suffered. If it takes her another 2 years(in court) to get her money then add at least $16 thou more in “material damages.” But how can she receive “moral damages” since “foreigners” don’t have morals(or “values”) evident by her complaining about S. Korea’s HIV/AIDS testing.
Will the $$$ or damages come from the immigration and/or education ministry? Will both ministries be the defendant(s) in court? Good Luck in court “L.G.”!

“The Geneva-based Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) was considering the case of L.G., whose contract was not renewed in 2009 after she refused to undergo a secondary mandatory HIV test required only of foreigners, arguing it was ““discriminatory and an affront to her dignity”.
In their findings, CERD members noted that the Republic of Korea did not provide any reasons to justify the mandatory testing, from which Korean and ethnic Korea teachers were exempt*. They also noted that, during arbitration proceedings, L.G.’s employers, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education (UMOE), said that HIV/AIDS tests were viewed as a means to check the values and morality of foreign English teachers.
The testing policy, the Committee wrote in its findings**, “does not appear to be justified on public health grounds or any other ground, and is a breach of the right to work without distinction to race, colour, national or ethnic origin.”
The Committee called on the Republic of Korea to grant L.G. adequate compensation for the moral and material damages she suffered. The Committee also urged the authorities to take steps to review regulations and policies related to the employment of foreigners and to abolish, in law and practice, any legislation which creates or perpetuates racial discrimination.
“The Committee recommends the State party to counter any manifestations of xenophobia, through stereotyping or stigmatizing, of foreigners by public officials, the media and the public at large,” members wrote. The Committee has asked the Republic of Korea to inform it within 90 days of the steps it has taken.”

“Are you hoping Ban Ki-Moon will get you your job and employer provided apartment back?”
You have me mistaken for someone else. But what I think I’ll do is get a contract signed from an employer in S. Korea, go to the Korean consulate here in America to get my passport stamped with an E-2 visa, then arrive in S. Korea to go to Korean immigration and when they tell me in order to get an ARC I have to be tested for HIV/AIDS I’ll then refuse and file a lawsuit against the Korean gov’t for the length of my contract. The flood gates have been opened!
So they are pretty much just testing Europeans and Americans for HIV?

‘Migrant workers treated like “slaves” in South Korea’s agricultural industry
South Korea relies on thousands of migrant workers from Southeast Asia to power its agricultural industry. But cases of assault and abuse by employers continue to occur and are rarely punished.’
Isn’t there a Korean law firm for “Tina” that supports and offers free services for immigrant workers(but who hates America/Americans)? Actually, they do Pro-bono work for Koreans as well.

POSTED: 29 May 2015
“Tina” is a Cambodian migrant worker in South Korea, playing a voice recording of the abuse she received from her former employer at a mushroom farm in Cheongju, south of Seoul. She sought shelter at a centre that helps migrant workers, after being fired from her job and claiming she was kicked out without any of her belongings.
“I don’t know what to do. I don’t know whether I should file a complaint or not,” she said. “At that time, I felt panic. The supervisor asked me to meet the employer together with him. He spoke to me with strong words and I cried.
“I miss my parents and my relatives very much. But, I have come to Korea for work because of poverty and because I have seen my neighbours who have gone to work in Korea could earn a lot of money,” she said.
Tina is explaining her situation and seeking help at the People of the Earth’s Station (Earthian) in Ansan, a working-class city near Seoul. She is one of many Cambodians who rely on this non-governmental organisation’s (NGO) services after experiencing trouble at work in South Korea.”

You see Johnnyboy, S. Korea lost in its attempt at trying to test American servicemembers for HIV/AIDS(and 1988 Olympic tourists) so they turned their attention elsewhere toward the weak(mostly white American males without their gov’t support) English teachers and succeeded.
It cannot be this simple (found in Discus comments somewhere). Yes, even I find this hard to believe (though to their credit they didn’t try to make the anarchist who shot McKinley into a Democrat):

No matter how you feel about guns, you should find this most interesting.
This may explain why there has never been an attempt on Obama.
In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.
In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States , who later died from the wound.
In 1963 a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States .
In 1975 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States .
In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States .
In 1984 James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.
In 1986 Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.
In 1990 James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.
In 1991 George Hennard, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 23 people in a Luby’s cafeteria in Killeen , TX.
In 1995 James Daniel Simpson, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory.
In 1999 Larry Asbrook, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 8 people at a church service.
In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US .
In 2003 Douglas Williams, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people at a Lockheed Martin plant.
In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung – Hui Cho, shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech.
In 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner, shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others.
In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes, went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.
In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis .
In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a school in Newtown , CT.
As recently as Sept 2013, an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy shipyard.
Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns.
Not one NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservative was involved in any of these shootings and murders.

EGGHEAD said…”Tbone… apart from broad and non-specific complaints about “discrimination”,”
“L.G.” filed a complaint(via attorney Benjamin Wagner) with at least two S. Korean governmental organizations(which were rejected) before the U.N. CERD so if you would just read you could find the “specific complaints” you lazy EGGHEAD! But of course you could always contact Mr. Wagner and ask him why the complaint wasn’t specific enough(for EGGHEAD to understand)?
EGGHEAD said…”what exactly is your complaint against foreigners being tested for HIV?”
My complaint? They’re in the plural form…
1. They’re racist and discriminatory in the way S. Korea has chosen to conduct the testing and its reasoning behind the testing.
2. Read my #11 comment which shows how the HIV/AIDS testing began for E-2 visa holders in S. Korea.
3. The U.S. Dept. of Defense didn’t allow S. Korea to check servicemembers and contractors like you for HIV/AIDS now did it? Why not? Ask the DOD and I’ll defer to its reasoning. The 1988 Olympic tourists didn’t want to be tested for HIV/AIDS now did they? Why not?
4. That you(your comments on English Spectrum or someone like you) could’ve been part of the reason for the HIV/AIDS testing given your propensity to demean women on this website.
5. That the Korean people/media didn’t mention anything about the complaint to the U.N. CERD exemplifying its attempt to hide racism/discrimination within the S. Korean government and that the S. Korean gov’t was late in responding to the U.N. CERD even though it has promised(signature to the CERD) to abide by the CERD.
6. People like you playing dumb or not reading the history behind the testing before pretending to make an educated comment.
7. The lies(and lack of stats), stupidity/non-logic behind it all i.e. Korean media, politicians, YOU, and others like you…
per the ‘Gusts of Popular Feeling’ site…
“…the references to the conduct of the media and politicians is very pertinent, considering the ‘Citizens Group for Upright English Education’ (also known as Anti English Spectrum) worked closely with the media and had access to politicians when pushing for the creation of the HIV testing policy (among others) in the first place.
As well, national assembly representatives have said a number of negative things about foreign teachers over the year. In June of 2009 Rep Choi Young-hee submitted 3 bills regarding native English teachers to the national assembly which called for drug tests for foreign teachers, with the bills stating that “the crime rate among native-speaking English teachers is getting higher” without offering any proof of such an increase, She also stated that immigration had lost 22,000 E-2 visa holders, but as it turns out, she used the wrong statistics. A few months later, Rep. Lee Gun-hyeon stated that foreign teacher crime was ‘serious,’ but released statistics showing it to be 5 times less than the Korean crime rate. Rep. Park Min-sik would chime in a month later on the “flood of unqualified native speaking teachers”, while National Assembly Rep Lee Ju-yeong stated that “Of foreigners, native speaking teachers are especially potential child molesters” who may have many ‘undisclosed crimes’ and who may fake their backgrounds. None of this quite compares to the racially charged statements made by Kim Han-gil, who was recently the leader of the opposition party, back in 1997 about the “white good-for-nothings” flocking to Korea to teach English, and despairing that the “low culture of English speaking countries is penetrating into living rooms.” He also proved to be ten years ahead of the curve by complaining that foreign teachers “they don’t even have to take drug or AIDS tests.”

So what is wrong with a free HIV test?
A nation has different obligations to citizens and non-citizens.
If a Korean has HIV, the nation of Korea has an obligation to treat it.
If a foreigner has HIV, Korea has an obligation to keep them out of Korea to protect Korean citizens and not become a burden on the Korean medical system.
Why are foreigners freaking out about an HIV test? It is in their best interest to know if they have HIV.
But it seems as if the real issue is not HIV or discrimination at all.
The real issue is the drug test… but that is harder to rationalize a complaint about.
In fact, an observation is the only people who made a big deal about the HIV test were also druggies.

Side note about the Rick Perry indictment…
Super-liberal, anti-gun, Obama/Hillary-supporting Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz stated that “The two statutes under which Gov. Perry was indicted are reminiscent of the old Soviet Union — you know, abuse of authority. The idea of indicting him because he threatened to veto spending unless a district attorney who was caught drinking and driving resigned, that’s not anything for a criminal indictment. That’s a political issue.” He added, “it’s so important to put a stop to it now, to say the criminal law is reserved for real crimes, not for political differences where a party in power or out of power gets revenge against the other party. That’s just not the way to use the criminal justice [system].”
His politics are frequently questionable… but his views on the law seldom are. Take that for what it’s worth.
It does no good for anyone to use the legal/tax/oversight/regulatory/ect. systems for political purposes. The other party will retaliate at the first chance… and that hurts America and all Americans.

An Observation on the Baltimore Situation
Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby won’t let the defense examine the knife and won’t release the autopsy report for Freddie Gray.
Interesting, no?
If this was a solid case… or even a realistic case… the “illegal knife” and the autopsy showing police violence on a drug-free aspiring rapper would have been forced on the public weeks ago to much fanfare.
This stupid Mosby cuunt has written some big liberal checks with her self-serving mouth that her racist azz can’t cash… and she is going to drag this out for as long as possible… sucking up the Vogue interviews and Prince concerts until she gets Nifonged… disbarred, disgraced, and removed from the public eye.
The only good point is she knows that is coming… and it must be causing her a great deal of stress… though it will fuel her hate as she generates needless stress and expense for everyone else involved.
The tax payers will foot the bill for both the creation and the cleanup of her needless mess.
Activist prosecutors pushing nonexistent cases, mostly over racial issues, is a bad trend.
This is Obama’s legacy. The one president in a perfect position to unify all races instead surrounded himself with angry racists in powerful positions, legitimized agitators such as Sharpton, stirred the black population by running his mouth with inflammatory nonsense, and encouraged all other races to despise blacks by promoting and excusing bad black behavior… not to mention championing the worst possible examples of “innocent” black “victims”.
Leon, it is a true shame you cannot recognize the lost opportunity and perhaps the willful sabotage involved here as you constantly excuse Obama… ridiculing a fringe crowd of Obama-haters instead of discussing actual problems and issues that affect everyone.
Tbone, it is a true shame that you, and those like you, encourage and justify these actions which have been bad for all Americans… but has especially been bad for America’s black population. It seems, those who cry the loudest over injustice to blacks do everything possible to insure this injustice continues… perhaps to give them a reason for existing.

The district attorney, Rosemary Lehmberg, who had been arrested on a charge of drunken driving, remained in office, and Mr. Perry ultimately vetoed $7.5 million for the anti-corruption unit.”

“No! What is more important is how did an innocent man(unless eye contact with a cop = GUILT) die in the hands of police?”
1. Was Freddie Gray “innocent”? Running from the police was reason to stop Freddy Gray, based on Supreme Court ruling(s). If the knife was illegal… or more specifically, if a “reasonable police officer believed it to be illegal”… it was grounds for arrest. With only that information, it seems the chase, capture, and arrest of Freddie Gray was legally correct.
Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby is concealing the knife in every way possible. You are welcome to speculate why this is. Until then, the best explanation is, after all the talk of the “legal” knife and false arrest, it is actually clearly illegal and the arrest was valid.
2. So how did Freddie Gray die in the “hands of police”? The autopsy report would go a long way toward answering this question. Again, if it supports the prosecution’s claim that police abused Freddie Gray, it would certainly be released with much publicity. You are welcome to speculate as to why it is not being released. Until then, the best explanation is that it falls somewhere between not demonstrating that police had any involvement to clearly showing Freddie Gray injured himself.
The reality is that this grandstand/conceal/delay/hope it fades scenario has played out over and Over and OVER. Those who do not recognize it are a bit foolish.

MeetTheBoner says…”You’re all happy Loretta Lynch got the nod as AG, but you have nothing to say about her defense of corporations, or support of asset seizures. Other than her skin color, why do you like her, knowing she is in favor of jailing young black substance abusers such as yourself?”
Again, you don’t know me and I’ve already given my thoughts on Loretta Lynch but nice bait n switch. It wasn’t really about what I thought of her but why it took so long(5 months) for white men to vote her in as attorney general.

“Again, you don’t know me”
Would you like me to help make the introduction? Just say the word.
“and I’ve already given my thoughts on Loretta Lynch but nice bait n switch.”
No you have not… just a lot of “black woman” hype… or, maybe, those ARE your thoughts… your ONLY thoughts. Whatever.
“It wasn’t really about what I thought of her but why it took so long(5 months) for white men to vote her in as attorney general.”
Because black people vote along racial lines… but some white people actually had a problem with her values and beliefs… which, quite interestingly, you seem not to.
She represents none of the compassion of liberals and much of the corruption of conservatives.
While she chases FIFA, though soccer has little affect on America, she does nothing with Wall Street, which has done far more damage to America.
If you look at her history, you will notice she worked on the defense for an Arthur Andersen partner who got caught cooking the books for Enron. She served on the board for the New York Federal Reserve, working directly under Tim Geithner, who became famous for turning a blind eye to Wall Street’s high-risk gambling schemes that led to the 2008 financial crisis. Her first job out of law school was at Cahill Gordon & Reindel… “the go-to law firm for New York’s financial crooks “.
Every Democrat and every liberal would scream from the rooftops if she was white and “Republican”… as she represents the worst aspects of both.

I wasn’t talking about the “people” rather white GOP politicians who did not have a problem ultimately voting for her without hardly a word in 5 months why they wouldn’t vote her in as AG despite their well known hatred for the black AG Holder.

Meanwhile in Texas, the end of the rainy season has seen a reduction in flooding and a surge in AC Repairs as the temperature climbs above 90. I finally migrated away from R22 to R410a and will have to drive my old car until the new AC is paid off. I’ll probably miss visiting Korea this year because of that.

EGGHEAD says about Loretta Lynch…”she does nothing with Wall Street.”
She just began as AG on April 27th you EGGHEAD so blame Holder not Lynch. However, she did investigate Citigroup over mortgage securities sold by the bank, resulting in a US$7 billion settlement; and was involved in the US$1.2 billion settlement with HSBC over violations of the Bank Secrecy Act.
So you’re WRONG about “nothing” you EGGHEAD!!!
MTB Rider wannabe EGGHEAD or MeetTheBoner(MTB) Rider says…”she is in favor of jailing young black substance abusers”
Are you for the legalization of all drugs/substances for black youth?
If what you mean by “in favor of ” means doing her job then I suppose since Loretta Lynch joined the Eastern District as a drug and violent-crime prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s office in 1990.
Are you against her prosecuting violent-crime suspects too?
It would help if you had anything significant to offer rather than being against Loretta Lynch doing her job?

Ban Ki-Moon’s United Nations says the South Korean government discriminates against E-2 Visa language teachers in S. Korea. The U.N. sure was slow in making this decision but it’s not like they missed a deadline or anything. What has this got to do with the safety of “foreigners” or Koreans? Given that the S. Korean gov’t hasn’t done anything about safety for Koreans(Sewol sinking), so what you gonna say about it now S. Korean gov’t(immigration and education ministries)?
http://populargusts.blogspot.com/2015/05/cerd-rules-that-hiv-tests-for-foreign.html
“United Nations committee on Wednesday reprimanded South Korea’s mandatory HIV testing of native English teachers as discrimination against foreigners, urging the country to abolish the policy.”
“I say, South Korea, consider yourself both reprimanded and urged! And if you don’t end this discriminatory policy, you will be reprimanded and urged again next year!”
“O.K., U.N… whatever you say. Don’t let the door hit your azz on the way out.”
I was too kind with “United Nations says the South Korean government discriminates against E-2 Visa language teachers”
…actually they said the S. Korean GOVERNMENT(MEDIA etc…) is discriminating AND RACIST with the E-2 visa language teachers while also being racist, xenophobia, through stereotyping and/or stigmatizing etc..against other “foreigners” working in S. Korea as well.
I like this part…”The Committee called on the Republic of Korea to grant L.G. adequate compensation for the moral and material damages she suffered.”
Is S. Korea going to force “L.G.” to file a complaint in a S. Korean court for her to get her $$$? If so, this could take at least 1-2 or more years. But as of now let’s consider 20% interest on let’s just guess and say she was to earn $40 thousand for her 2009 contract year and add 20% interest from 2009 until now…that would be $8 thousand per year through 2015 = $40 thou + $48 thou = $88 thou for “material damages” + attorney fees and “moral damages” she suffered. If it takes her another 2 years(in court) to get her money then add at least $16 thou more in “material damages.” But how can she receive “moral damages” since “foreigners” don’t have morals(or “values”) evident by her complaining about S. Korea’s HIV/AIDS testing.
Will the $$$ or damages come from the immigration and/or education ministry? Will both ministries be the defendant(s) in court? Good Luck in court “L.G.”!

“The Geneva-based Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) was considering the case of L.G., whose contract was not renewed in 2009 after she refused to undergo a secondary mandatory HIV test required only of foreigners, arguing it was ““discriminatory and an affront to her dignity”.
In their findings, CERD members noted that the Republic of Korea did not provide any reasons to justify the mandatory testing, from which Korean and ethnic Korea teachers were exempt*. They also noted that, during arbitration proceedings, L.G.’s employers, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education (UMOE), said that HIV/AIDS tests were viewed as a means to check the values and morality of foreign English teachers.
The testing policy, the Committee wrote in its findings**, “does not appear to be justified on public health grounds or any other ground, and is a breach of the right to work without distinction to race, colour, national or ethnic origin.”
The Committee called on the Republic of Korea to grant L.G. adequate compensation for the moral and material damages she suffered. The Committee also urged the authorities to take steps to review regulations and policies related to the employment of foreigners and to abolish, in law and practice, any legislation which creates or perpetuates racial discrimination.
“The Committee recommends the State party to counter any manifestations of xenophobia, through stereotyping or stigmatizing, of foreigners by public officials, the media and the public at large,” members wrote. The Committee has asked the Republic of Korea to inform it within 90 days of the steps it has taken.”
So, what’s your point, T-BONEHEAD? Are you hoping Ban Ki-Moon will get you your job and employer provided apartment back?
Has this been the point of your weekly rants and spewing on this site?
Achievement unlocked: Walls of pointless copy pasta ignored.
“Are you hoping Ban Ki-Moon will get you your job and employer provided apartment back?”
You have me mistaken for someone else. But what I think I’ll do is get a contract signed from an employer in S. Korea, go to the Korean consulate here in America to get my passport stamped with an E-2 visa, then arrive in S. Korea to go to Korean immigration and when they tell me in order to get an ARC I have to be tested for HIV/AIDS I’ll then refuse and file a lawsuit against the Korean gov’t for the length of my contract. The flood gates have been opened!
tbonetylr, thanks for sharing the link. I have started another thread for discussion on the UN ruling:
https://www.rokdrop.net/2015/06/united-nations-rules-that-south-korea-discriminates-against-foreign-english-teachers/
So they are pretty much just testing Europeans and Americans for HIV?
That would most likely be a majority white population.
That’s not racist….there is no such thing as racism against white people.
‘Migrant workers treated like “slaves” in South Korea’s agricultural industry
South Korea relies on thousands of migrant workers from Southeast Asia to power its agricultural industry. But cases of assault and abuse by employers continue to occur and are rarely punished.’
Isn’t there a Korean law firm for “Tina” that supports and offers free services for immigrant workers(but who hates America/Americans)? Actually, they do Pro-bono work for Koreans as well.
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/migrant-workers-treated/1872922.html
POSTED: 29 May 2015
“Tina” is a Cambodian migrant worker in South Korea, playing a voice recording of the abuse she received from her former employer at a mushroom farm in Cheongju, south of Seoul. She sought shelter at a centre that helps migrant workers, after being fired from her job and claiming she was kicked out without any of her belongings.
“I don’t know what to do. I don’t know whether I should file a complaint or not,” she said. “At that time, I felt panic. The supervisor asked me to meet the employer together with him. He spoke to me with strong words and I cried.
“I miss my parents and my relatives very much. But, I have come to Korea for work because of poverty and because I have seen my neighbours who have gone to work in Korea could earn a lot of money,” she said.
Tina is explaining her situation and seeking help at the People of the Earth’s Station (Earthian) in Ansan, a working-class city near Seoul. She is one of many Cambodians who rely on this non-governmental organisation’s (NGO) services after experiencing trouble at work in South Korea.”
READ the REST…!!!
“That’s not racist….there is no such thing as racism against white people.”
Oh Johnnyboy, what’s wrong with you?
Anything other than pure-blooded Korean is susceptible to racism/discrimination in S. Korea and if there happens to be a few Korean-Americans etc…who can’t find/don’t have their birth certificate that would enable them to get an ‘F’ visa, well, those are the breaks as long as mostly white(American males) are gotten.
You see Johnnyboy, S. Korea lost in its attempt at trying to test American servicemembers for HIV/AIDS(and 1988 Olympic tourists) so they turned their attention elsewhere toward the weak(mostly white American males without their gov’t support) English teachers and succeeded.
Johnnyboy is like Korean apologists ‘Steelrails’ and ‘TheUrbanMyth'(page 7) over at Daves ESL Cafe…

Your sarcasm detector seems to be malfunctioning.
Is it your stance that racism against white people (particularly males) only happens in Korea and never in the U.S.?
Anywho, service members are already tested for HIV every couple years.
Tbone… apart from broad and non-specific complaints about “discrimination”, what exactly is your complaint against foreigners being tested for HIV?
“Is it your stance that racism against white people (particularly males) only happens in Korea and never in the U.S.? ”
You could be more specific, what’s your beef?

This may explain why there has never been an attempt on Obama.

In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States , who later died from the wound.
In 1963 a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States .
In 1975 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States .
In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States .
In 1984 James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.
In 1986 Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.
In 1990 James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.

In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a school in Newtown , CT.
As recently as Sept 2013, an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy shipyard.
Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns.
Not one NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservative was involved in any of these shootings and murders.

EGGHEAD said…”Tbone… apart from broad and non-specific complaints about “discrimination”,”
“L.G.” filed a complaint(via attorney Benjamin Wagner) with at least two S. Korean governmental organizations(which were rejected) before the U.N. CERD so if you would just read you could find the “specific complaints” you lazy EGGHEAD! But of course you could always contact Mr. Wagner and ask him why the complaint wasn’t specific enough(for EGGHEAD to understand)?
EGGHEAD said…”what exactly is your complaint against foreigners being tested for HIV?”
My complaint? They’re in the plural form…
1. They’re racist and discriminatory in the way S. Korea has chosen to conduct the testing and its reasoning behind the testing.
2. Read my #11 comment which shows how the HIV/AIDS testing began for E-2 visa holders in S. Korea.
3. The U.S. Dept. of Defense didn’t allow S. Korea to check servicemembers and contractors like you for HIV/AIDS now did it? Why not? Ask the DOD and I’ll defer to its reasoning. The 1988 Olympic tourists didn’t want to be tested for HIV/AIDS now did they? Why not?
4. That you(your comments on English Spectrum or someone like you) could’ve been part of the reason for the HIV/AIDS testing given your propensity to demean women on this website.
5. That the Korean people/media didn’t mention anything about the complaint to the U.N. CERD exemplifying its attempt to hide racism/discrimination within the S. Korean government and that the S. Korean gov’t was late in responding to the U.N. CERD even though it has promised(signature to the CERD) to abide by the CERD.
6. People like you playing dumb or not reading the history behind the testing before pretending to make an educated comment.
7. The lies(and lack of stats), stupidity/non-logic behind it all i.e. Korean media, politicians, YOU, and others like you…
per the ‘Gusts of Popular Feeling’ site…
“…the references to the conduct of the media and politicians is very pertinent, considering the ‘Citizens Group for Upright English Education’ (also known as Anti English Spectrum) worked closely with the media and had access to politicians when pushing for the creation of the HIV testing policy (among others) in the first place.
As well, national assembly representatives have said a number of negative things about foreign teachers over the year. In June of 2009 Rep Choi Young-hee submitted 3 bills regarding native English teachers to the national assembly which called for drug tests for foreign teachers, with the bills stating that “the crime rate among native-speaking English teachers is getting higher” without offering any proof of such an increase, She also stated that immigration had lost 22,000 E-2 visa holders, but as it turns out, she used the wrong statistics. A few months later, Rep. Lee Gun-hyeon stated that foreign teacher crime was ‘serious,’ but released statistics showing it to be 5 times less than the Korean crime rate. Rep. Park Min-sik would chime in a month later on the “flood of unqualified native speaking teachers”, while National Assembly Rep Lee Ju-yeong stated that “Of foreigners, native speaking teachers are especially potential child molesters” who may have many ‘undisclosed crimes’ and who may fake their backgrounds. None of this quite compares to the racially charged statements made by Kim Han-gil, who was recently the leader of the opposition party, back in 1997 about the “white good-for-nothings” flocking to Korea to teach English, and despairing that the “low culture of English speaking countries is penetrating into living rooms.” He also proved to be ten years ahead of the curve by complaining that foreign teachers “they don’t even have to take drug or AIDS tests.”

So what is wrong with a free HIV test?
A nation has different obligations to citizens and non-citizens.
If a Korean has HIV, the nation of Korea has an obligation to treat it.
If a foreigner has HIV, Korea has an obligation to keep them out of Korea to protect Korean citizens and not become a burden on the Korean medical system.
Why are foreigners freaking out about an HIV test? It is in their best interest to know if they have HIV.
But it seems as if the real issue is not HIV or discrimination at all.
The real issue is the drug test… but that is harder to rationalize a complaint about.
In fact, an observation is the only people who made a big deal about the HIV test were also druggies.
Do you think drug tests are also discrimination?

A clerical error on a 63 year old black man’s birth certificate means he will have to change his name to the clerical error made on his birth certificate if he ever wants to vote.

“Loretta Lynch will have to go him, you go girl!”

Tbone, will you ever comment on why you like Loretta Lynch other than she has black skin and Democrat on her voter registration form… but a very predatory white right-wing corporatist mind based on her beliefs and actions which are VERY counter to your liberal sensitivities?
You should be screaming about her destruction of liberal values from the rooftops instead of praising her like your savior for spending time and effort chasing low-priority issues like soccer management and going after a Republican front-runner who likely would do as much (or more) for liberal Democrats than conservative Republicans.

Side note about the Rick Perry indictment…
Super-liberal, anti-gun, Obama/Hillary-supporting Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz stated that “The two statutes under which Gov. Perry was indicted are reminiscent of the old Soviet Union — you know, abuse of authority. The idea of indicting him because he threatened to veto spending unless a district attorney who was caught drinking and driving resigned, that’s not anything for a criminal indictment. That’s a political issue.” He added, “it’s so important to put a stop to it now, to say the criminal law is reserved for real crimes, not for political differences where a party in power or out of power gets revenge against the other party. That’s just not the way to use the criminal justice [system].”
His politics are frequently questionable… but his views on the law seldom are. Take that for what it’s worth.
It does no good for anyone to use the legal/tax/oversight/regulatory/ect. systems for political purposes. The other party will retaliate at the first chance… and that hurts America and all Americans.
An Observation on the Baltimore Situation
Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby won’t let the defense examine the knife and won’t release the autopsy report for Freddie Gray.
Interesting, no?
If this was a solid case… or even a realistic case… the “illegal knife” and the autopsy showing police violence on a drug-free aspiring rapper would have been forced on the public weeks ago to much fanfare.
This stupid Mosby cuunt has written some big liberal checks with her self-serving mouth that her racist azz can’t cash… and she is going to drag this out for as long as possible… sucking up the Vogue interviews and Prince concerts until she gets Nifonged… disbarred, disgraced, and removed from the public eye.
The only good point is she knows that is coming… and it must be causing her a great deal of stress… though it will fuel her hate as she generates needless stress and expense for everyone else involved.
The tax payers will foot the bill for both the creation and the cleanup of her needless mess.
Activist prosecutors pushing nonexistent cases, mostly over racial issues, is a bad trend.
This is Obama’s legacy. The one president in a perfect position to unify all races instead surrounded himself with angry racists in powerful positions, legitimized agitators such as Sharpton, stirred the black population by running his mouth with inflammatory nonsense, and encouraged all other races to despise blacks by promoting and excusing bad black behavior… not to mention championing the worst possible examples of “innocent” black “victims”.
Leon, it is a true shame you cannot recognize the lost opportunity and perhaps the willful sabotage involved here as you constantly excuse Obama… ridiculing a fringe crowd of Obama-haters instead of discussing actual problems and issues that affect everyone.
Tbone, it is a true shame that you, and those like you, encourage and justify these actions which have been bad for all Americans… but has especially been bad for America’s black population. It seems, those who cry the loudest over injustice to blacks do everything possible to insure this injustice continues… perhaps to give them a reason for existing.
“Interesting, no?”
No! What is more important is how did an innocent man(unless eye contact with a cop = GUILT) die in the hands of police?

The district attorney, Rosemary Lehmberg, who had been arrested on a charge of drunken driving, remained in office, and Mr. Perry ultimately vetoed $7.5 million for the anti-corruption unit.”
Vermont Republican not resigning despite multiple rape charges: ‘I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong’
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/vermont-republican-not-resigning-despite-multiple-rape-charges-i-dont-think-ive-done-anything-wrong/
Where are the Rick Perry type GOP threats for Vermont state legislator Norman McAllister to step down?
“No! What is more important is how did an innocent man(unless eye contact with a cop = GUILT) die in the hands of police?”
1. Was Freddie Gray “innocent”? Running from the police was reason to stop Freddy Gray, based on Supreme Court ruling(s). If the knife was illegal… or more specifically, if a “reasonable police officer believed it to be illegal”… it was grounds for arrest. With only that information, it seems the chase, capture, and arrest of Freddie Gray was legally correct.
Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby is concealing the knife in every way possible. You are welcome to speculate why this is. Until then, the best explanation is, after all the talk of the “legal” knife and false arrest, it is actually clearly illegal and the arrest was valid.
2. So how did Freddie Gray die in the “hands of police”? The autopsy report would go a long way toward answering this question. Again, if it supports the prosecution’s claim that police abused Freddie Gray, it would certainly be released with much publicity. You are welcome to speculate as to why it is not being released. Until then, the best explanation is that it falls somewhere between not demonstrating that police had any involvement to clearly showing Freddie Gray injured himself.
The reality is that this grandstand/conceal/delay/hope it fades scenario has played out over and Over and OVER. Those who do not recognize it are a bit foolish.
Tbone, are you still a big Loretta Lynch supporter?
You are, aren’t you! You are SUCH A SUCKER!
…not just supporting the corporatist right wing but doing so while claiming to be a liberal. You closet Republican, you. Ha!
As usual, the most evil of the Republicans are smarter than the most evil of the Democrats… hiding a fascist agent in black skin to infiltrate the Democratic party… protecting Big Business, stealing from the middle class, and doing nothing for the darkies except breaking families and ending lives through the War on Drugs.
Tbone the Fascist Republican. Who knew?
EGGHEAD is a Man of Putin(RUSSIA) and LOVER, said time and again so…

Maybe the fault is mine, Tbone… but I have no idea how that related to Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby.
Is it possible for you to stick to a topic, lay out your beliefs on an issue, and answer skeptical questions with reasonable explanations while asking intelligent counter-questions?
If you can do that, you might feel some personal self-worth.
If not, your only value is serving as a warming that autism and substance abuse don’t mix well.
P.S. I don’t “love” Putin.
I respect him for showing action and interest in the success of Russia that American “leaders” seem to be lacking as they chase politically-correct media-friendly whims to satisfy immediate goals that contradict the long-term social, financial, and political success of America.
If you are unable to see this, we could discuss is further…
…if you are capable of actually maintaining a discussion.
“in the success of Russia”
What is there to discuss when you think Putin is a success? Please, stop being an EGGHEAD!!!
You started this tripe a couple few years ago about the time when Jim Rogers suggested everyone buy Russian Rubles, but guess what happened since?
http://www.newsmax.com/Finance/StreetTalk/Rogers-Russia-Ruble-invest/2012/09/27/id/457859/
EGGHEAD does love Putin. He wants to “discuss” …how Putin is better than Obama and how the Russian media is better than…?

You can’t talk to T-BONEHEAD. His brain is too fried from huffing that fine gold spray paint.
But I’m sure T-BONEHEAD will say everything in this video is 100% true:
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=860427104042511
Not sure if a Facebook video will come through to ROK Drop. I hope it does, it was quite funny.
I think it is impossible to have a conversation with you, Tbone.
Teadrinker was an idiot… but he was not stupid.
It was somewhat possible to have a conversation with him… as he could maintain a thought long enough to communicate it.
He was simply blinded by wishful idealistic thinking and incapable of fully grasping reality.
Being a low-income closeted homosexual didn’t help his mental state.
You, Tbone, seem to be blinded by your position on the autism spectrum amplified by substance abuse for self-medication.
So, think whatever you want, Tbone. You opinion does not count in the world…
…and neither do you.

“But I’m sure T-BONEHEAD will say everything in this video is 100% true:”
Okay MTB and the sky is blue, 100% true aye?
But there is truth to that stupid Facebook link, Koreans are afraid of/non-friendly to Korean neighbors so if you don’t think they’re afraid of “foreign” neighbors then you don’t know reality.
Korean SNL is really BAD and it only took them 40 years to attempt BADLY at humor.
MTB says…Huffington Post is bad but Facebook is good(hehehe!!!).
Hey EGGHEAD, I tried to get something out of you but you quit already. You knock Obama(respect Putin more) and American media so tell us how Russian media is better?
Oh, it’s way to late to try and sound reasonable, BONEHEAD. That ship sailed long ago.
You add nothing. You flood this page with whatever leftist drivel you find, but don’t even know what you are talking about. You only post that stuff to annoy people, but the magic of the scroll wheel lets everyone flip past without even bothering to read any of it.
You came to this site, begging for sympathy after getting kicked out of your employer supplied apartment. You then bragged how great your life would be once you got back to the States. So, why do you keep coming back to this site? What happened to your plans and hopes and dreams once you got away from the hell that is Korea? It’s not the place, it’s you. You are your own worst enemy, and everyone sees it.
“Okay MTB and the sky is blue, 100% true aye?”
…except at night… so 50% true right off the bat.
…and then there are overcast days…
…and sunrise and sunset…
…and Tbone is, yet again, an idiot…
MTB says…”You then bragged how great your life would be once you got back to the States. So, why do you keep coming back to this site?”
So I’ll take it your life isn’t “great” because you keep coming back to this site. Congrats MTB and GOOD LUCK, I hope things change for you(hehehe)!!!
MTB says…”You came to this site, begging for sympathy after getting kicked out of your employer supplied apartment.”
Again, you must have me mistaken for someone else but entertain us on the “begging for sympathy” part(link)?
EGGHEAD says…”so 50% true right off the bat.”
Your future doesn’t look as though you’ll ever be anything other than an EGGHEAD.
“Okay MTB and the sky is blue…”
is a quote, I didn’t say the sky was blue but your dumbazz thinks it is(at least 50% or less of the time). You’re such an EGGHEAD!!!!!
Hey EGGHEAD did you know my farts don’t ever stink?
Dude, I come here because I actually liked Korea when I lived there, and look forward to returning. I’m also retired Navy, and work as an Army Civilian. I like to keep up with what is going on in Korea regarding the military, and the civilian expat population. Besides my friends in the Army and Army support civilians, I have a lot of friends in the teaching community because of my bicycling hobby.
As for my job here, its going quite well. I make good money, have a challenging and enjoyable work schedule, and get every other Friday off.
You on the other hand have nothing to look forward to except your next welfare check so you can make a trip to Lowe’s for your next can of gold spray paint. You cruise the most Leftist websites between your trips to Backpage and Craigslist looking for pole to smoke, and post the most nonsensical craap every time G.I. Korea starts a new Open Thread.
If you believed any of it, you would make an effort to defend your beliefs, but that would require cognitive thinking. That is something you have never been able to do, as seen in your YouTube videos when you got kicked out of the apartment you were squatting in.
You’re all happy Loretta Lynch got the nod as AG, but you have nothing to say about her defense of corporations, or support of asset seizures. Other than her skin color, why do you like her, knowing she is in favor of jailing young black substance abusers such as yourself?
Should I post the links to your starring role? We all know how to search YouTube, and watching you melt down just gives me a chuckle knowing that mo matter how annoying and childish you are on this site, you have always been, and always will be the biggest loser I’ve ever encountered.
“Hey EGGHEAD did you know my farts don’t ever stink?”
Well, my farts not only don’t stink…
…they smell like freshly-baked cinnamon buns.
P.S. MTB just won the Internets
@MTB Rider, the video link worked and it was quite funny. To be fair to Koreans considering how many tattoos the guy had he probably would have similar reactions by many people in the US as well.
@MTB Rider, also your celebrity couple pic has to be the picture of the day. LOL!

Again, you don’t know me and I’ve already given my thoughts on Loretta Lynch but nice bait n switch. It wasn’t really about what I thought of her but why it took so long(5 months) for white men to vote her in as attorney general.
“Again, you don’t know me”
Would you like me to help make the introduction? Just say the word.
“and I’ve already given my thoughts on Loretta Lynch but nice bait n switch.”
No you have not… just a lot of “black woman” hype… or, maybe, those ARE your thoughts… your ONLY thoughts. Whatever.
“It wasn’t really about what I thought of her but why it took so long(5 months) for white men to vote her in as attorney general.”
Because black people vote along racial lines… but some white people actually had a problem with her values and beliefs… which, quite interestingly, you seem not to.
She represents none of the compassion of liberals and much of the corruption of conservatives.
While she chases FIFA, though soccer has little affect on America, she does nothing with Wall Street, which has done far more damage to America.
If you look at her history, you will notice she worked on the defense for an Arthur Andersen partner who got caught cooking the books for Enron. She served on the board for the New York Federal Reserve, working directly under Tim Geithner, who became famous for turning a blind eye to Wall Street’s high-risk gambling schemes that led to the 2008 financial crisis. Her first job out of law school was at Cahill Gordon & Reindel… “the go-to law firm for New York’s financial crooks “.
Every Democrat and every liberal would scream from the rooftops if she was white and “Republican”… as she represents the worst aspects of both.
EGGHEAD Communist Putin Lover says…”Because black people vote along racial lines… but some white people actually had a problem with her values and beliefs… which, quite interestingly, you seem not to.”
Nice bait n switch azzholeEGGHEAD!!!
I wasn’t talking about the “people” rather white GOP politicians who did not have a problem ultimately voting for her without hardly a word in 5 months why they wouldn’t vote her in as AG despite their well known hatred for the black AG Holder.
Meanwhile in Texas, the end of the rainy season has seen a reduction in flooding and a surge in AC Repairs as the temperature climbs above 90. I finally migrated away from R22 to R410a and will have to drive my old car until the new AC is paid off. I’ll probably miss visiting Korea this year because of that.
So I’ll be mildly jealous of those of you who have found a way to stay there. Please have a seasonally appropriate beverage and enjoy your fortune.

This is the guy who couldn’t even do a straight movie on Heinlein’s Starship Troopers! I mean, come on now!!! He could have built a following bigger than Lucas or Peter Jackson; but he couldn’t stay away from his own politics…
EGGHEAD says about Loretta Lynch…”she does nothing with Wall Street.”
She just began as AG on April 27th you EGGHEAD so blame Holder not Lynch. However, she did investigate Citigroup over mortgage securities sold by the bank, resulting in a US$7 billion settlement; and was involved in the US$1.2 billion settlement with HSBC over violations of the Bank Secrecy Act.
So you’re WRONG about “nothing” you EGGHEAD!!!
MTB Rider wannabe EGGHEAD or MeetTheBoner(MTB) Rider says…”she is in favor of jailing young black substance abusers”
Are you for the legalization of all drugs/substances for black youth?
If what you mean by “in favor of ” means doing her job then I suppose since Loretta Lynch joined the Eastern District as a drug and violent-crime prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s office in 1990.
Are you against her prosecuting violent-crime suspects too?
It would help if you had anything significant to offer rather than being against Loretta Lynch doing her job?
“asset seizures”
Again, she was doing her job. Her job wasn’t to make/write the law you dummies. You’re all barking up the wrong tree.
