An emotional support alligator — YGBSM. Ya know, my Korean born wife sometimes says the problem in America is too much freedom. In cases like this I have to agree with her.
The smog in Seoul has mildly annoyed me for many years, but I never used to make decisions on whether or not I would go outdoors based on the air quality. Within the last year or so, this has changed. On really bad days, I can now literally feel it in my head. It’s like a mild head cold with a little bit of a headache. And that’s when I stay inside. If I go out for a bike ride or run – it’s even worse.
I don’t see this situation improving any time soon either. It’s to the point where I wonder if it’s going to have long term effects on my health.
Maybe it’s time to leave …

The air quality last week sucked even down at Pyeongtaek. I always wear a mask outside now when the Air Quality index is high (It was over 100 last week, today a “good” 38). On base they warn everyone about the air quailty, but of course the soldiers and airman aren’t allowed to wear a mask to protect them from the fine dust particles while in uniform. Here’s the AQI website if anyone is interestedL http://aqicn.org/city/korea/gyeonggi/pyeongtaek-si/anjung/
Since we are discussing fake news, if you are one of the few people who hasn’t heard the media outrage over the Covington Catholic kids in DC; guess what it is once again fake news:
Even though it is once again fake news, you would think the school would make sure their students were not wearing MAGA hats in DC which are sure to attract anti-Trump protesters and have them chaperoned by teachers the whole time.

I was one of the people who hadn’t. Not surprised, you can’t really believe anything in the “news” anymore. That includes Fox and my #1 OANN. Look that shizzit up and verify if you can. 😛
Man I wish I had the time to jus be loitering around DC bothering people… 🙄

Interesting follow-up on that story GI linked. Almost a full day after the story’s been debunked and easily researched; tons of ijiots still posting the original incorrect version not to mention that while CNN is still headlining the wrong version, Fox had updated their listing with the right info hours ago. People still dissing Fox though as a joke of an outlet. 🙄
@Smokes, the other thing that bothers me about this story is that the usual suspects in the media are putting all the responsibility for this incident on teenagers.
Really the people that bare responsibility are the adults involved with this. The adult protesters initiated the confrontation, yelled bigoted language at them, and pounded a drum in the kids face.
The other adults at fault for this is whoever the chaperones were. How can you leave kids unattended in DC wearing MAGA hats! Even if they were waiting for their bus they should not have been left alone. An adult chaperone should of herded all the kids away from the protesters as soon as they started approaching.
These kids were not blameless in this, but once again they are teenagers not adults, but since they had MAGA hats on the media goes into attack mode. Could you imagine what the media reaction would be if it were black kids and a group of white adults approached them, yelled bigoted language, and banged a drum in a kids ear?

“How can you leave kids unattended in DC wearing MAGA hats!”
Doesn’t the Constitution protect that?
Wear a Make America Great Again hat and prepare to be messed with.
Wear a Che Guevara hat and make some new friends… scummy emotional shyte-attitude friends… but better than getting your ass kicked.
About time for some right wing death squads in America to get the priorities straightened out.
Bonus Thought: Suck a peace pipe, indians. Your tribe got conquered by a stronger tribe. Live with it.
Palefaces should have learned from indians when they conquered weaker tribes to steal THEIR land. Instead of giving a chance to assimilate, your ancestors should have been scalped and left on an ant hill so we don’t have to get drums banged in our faces a hundred years later. Live and learn.
@Chickenhead, people should be able to wear a hat without being harassed, but we know in Washington, DC be prepared to be harassed and at worse assaulted. This is all the more reason why those kids should have had a large number of chaperones.
By the way I wonder when CNN is going to report that the protesters were calling the African-American kids the N-word even before the Native-American protesters showed up?:
The whole Covington Catholic story continues to unravel. I am not surprised that the supposed Vietnam Veteran the media was championing as a “recon ranger” turns out to be a phony. He was a electrician and refrigerator repairman in the Marines who never left the country much less served in Vietnam to be a “recon ranger”. He left the Marines after four years at the impressive rank of private after going AWOL and being jailed multiple times:

GI, I am guessing CNN will start telling the truth after Trump buys the network, fires all the drama queens, and hires actual journalists.
Right after Hillary confesses to cheating against Bernie and admits Trump won fair and square.
