South Korea has most of the best and worst Korean restaurants in the world; but the Plano, Texas, Doraville, Georgia, and even Tyson’s Corner Virginia offer challenges to both extremes…

Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity.

—George Eliot

I disagree, Setnaffa.

Upon reflection, all of my cruelty is motivated by a desire to cause misery for those who truly deep down inside believe I should self-destructively follow the demands of other, be they hungry government, greedy corporations, misguided society, ambitious medical researchers, and especially the perpetually powerless who have been given an illusion of power to enforce the demands of the other groups.

Toward those who leave me alone, I know no cruelty. For those who do not, my cruelty is constrained only by decree of punishment and probability of getting caught.

OK, I have never seen this movie, and don’t plan to watch Disney, but I heard that the movie was a bad movie that flopped also in Europe, yet CNN is blaming Korean racism for the poor turnout at the box office all over the world.

The rightwing Christian fanatic mayor of Daegu tried to illegally stop the gay pride parade and got escorted off by the police.

American-style Christian religious right-wingers are the ones that are holding back the country’s democracy. For decades, they have been the main obstacle to South Korea passing the anti-discrimination law which is badly needed.

I went to see the Little Mermaid but I must have been to the wrong movie.

I was expecting the cute redhead but all I got was an hour and a half of a singing catfish.

“anti-discrimination law which is badly needed”

What exactly would be in this law?

Mandatory public funded celebration= “tolerance” now.

This is why I’ve given up hoping for nice things.

Like you can’t discriminate against race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation?

The rightwing Christian fanatic mayor of Daegu. […] American-style Christian religious right-wingers

Historically, homosexuality was highly taboo in Korea long before Christianity ever showed up. Confucians declared it wicked and depraved, and while less than a percent of Koreans today identify as Confucian, and over 60% as no religion, Confucian attitudes and beliefs permeate all of Korean society and even Korean Christianity has become syncretic in all but name. These are not American style Christians which really leads me to believe you are an Americanized Korean progressive living in America that is both ignorant of American Christianity as well as Korean culture. Homosexuality in Korea is still a major taboo even among the non-Christians. It’s the same in China and Japan. Opposition has been completely indigenous.

are the ones that are holding back the country’s democracy.

Now this is just funny… Is it only “democracy” when the outcome is what you like? Throw away the pretenses and just say you don’t want “democracy.” You want a theocracy hell bent on enforcing American progressivism as the state religion. You are the true imperialist conspiring to saddle Koreans with the yoke of American degeneracy. A State Department lackey.

race…
In other words, the legal basis for an open society. Why not accept a million Muslim Afghan “refugees” while you’re at it. Start building those Mosques Korea. How about a million Japanese given complete freedom to live and settle in Korea. I though you were against Japanese colonialism. Why not a million Africans who will always have an inferiority complex and demand affirmative action and government hand outs.
religion…
Korea would quickly cease to be Korean. You appear to hate Christianity, do you realize how Christianity took root in Korea? It was because the government allowed it in which ultimately displaced traditional Korean faiths.
sex…
sure, let’s ignore the inherent biological differences between men and women. Stop discriminating and put women on the front lines of war! This is ridiculous.
sexual orientation…
When 1% of the population account for 82% of HIV diagnoses… you may not want that 1% around you or your family.

It’s only through discrimination that national identities can exist in the first place.

I’m not talking about history when ignorance ruled. I’m talking about now – the age of the internet, news, communication, science, and supposed tolerance and enlightenment And most of the opposition towards anti-discrimination laws in Korea comes from right-wing Christian fundamentalists and their church organizations that are no different from US-style organizations that spread ignorance, superstition, and intolerance to southern states like Texas, Georgia, Lousiana, Mississippi, etc.

you are an Americanized Korean progressive living in America

Sorry, I don’t live in the land of dystopia. GI Korea can confirm.

Homosexuality in Korea is still a major taboo even among the non-Christians. 

The ones that blare hate speeches, and try to block the parade, are all right-wingers copying the US-style Christians – Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals. You never see Catholics or Buddhists or non-religious in these anti-LGBT rallies.

Is it only “democracy” when the outcome is what you like?

It’s democracy to allow LGBT parades, as long as they are peaceful, even if you don’t agree with it.

Why not accept a million Muslim Afghan “refugees” while you’re at it. Start building those Mosques Korea. How about a million Japanese given complete freedom to live and settle in Korea. I though you were against Japanese colonialism. Why not a million Africans who will always have an inferiority complex and demand affirmative action and government hand outs.

Having an anti-discrimination law to outlaw practices of discrimination against residents in Korea who may be of different races or sexual orientations doesn’t equal “accepting millions of Muslims or Africans” What the hell are you talking about? Ridiculous logic.

“Like you can’t discriminate against race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation?”

Race: Explain racial discrimination in Korea and how your law would counter it.

Religion: Considering Korea has one of the highest number of cults per capita, it is unclear what religious discrimination you are talking about. It might be islam, but that is a political system masquerading as a religion. Keeping mosques out of Korea is not a matter of religious discrimination. It is a matter of national security.

Sex: Explain the current state of sexual discrimination and explain what you would add to the existing laws.

Sexual Orientation: Let me tell you about all the hot bìtches I have fùcked. What? You don’t want to hear it? That’s a coincidence because I was hoping you would keep all your gay shìt to yourself. The illusion of discrimination only exists as a response to forcing gayness on the public. When not brought to attention, nobody cares.

Oh, you want gay marriage? Technically, that is a reasonable request. Sadly it has been tried. It unsurprisingly led to demands for adoption and has now entered the demands for child tranny stage. Normalization of pedophilia is currently underway.

But curious what rights (besides marriage) that gay Koreans don’t have that straight Koreans do and how you would write your law to change this.

I’m not talking about history when ignorance ruled. I’m talking about now – the age of the internet, news, communication, science, and supposed tolerance and enlightenment

This is Whig historiography. You’ve bought into American progressivism so hard you have no perspective of the past. You don’t even realize you are thoroughly Americanized. I doubt there’s anything Korean about you besides genetics. You are assuming ignorance ruled in the past. You have no idea what people in the past believed other than a modern caricature of the past. History, if anything, is far more cyclical than linear. Take someone from the Victorian era and they would see current day Westerners as immoral and ignorant. After all, the Victorians for all their faults did not chemically castrate boys and medically mutilate girls like Westerners are doing today.

More over, look at the ancient Babylonians and their Sumerian gods to realize sexual liberalism is very, very old. Judaism, Christianity, and later Islam were reactions against sexual immorality and excesses of the day.

And most of the opposition towards anti-discrimination laws in Korea comes from right-wing Christian fundamentalists and their church organizations

Even Moon Jae In was hesitant on anti-discrimination laws. If the Korean left couldn’t get it passed with majority rule and 80% approval rating, there’s a far more inherent opposition than simply those “right-wing Christian fundamentalists.” Christians in Korea are only around a quarter of the population. Many of them are heretically progressive. What I attempted to point out to you, and you completely ignored, is that Confucian views on homosexuality permeate Korean culture across all religious denominations.

Sorry, I don’t live in the land of dystopia. GI Korea can confirm.

Says the fluent English speaker that constantly spews American left wing ideological talking points. I concede, you may not live in America, but you definitely got mind fucked by American Whiggism and don’t even know it. Hilarious.

You never see Catholics or Buddhists or non-religious in these anti-LGBT rallies.

Generational/cultural difference. Non-Christian anti LGBT is mostly online in forums like ILBE and DC Inside. They vote.

It’s democracy to allow LGBT parades, as long as they are peaceful, even if you don’t agree with it.

You are conflating the political system of democracy (voting and majority rule) with liberalism (social permissiveness). These are not the same thing. In a democracy, if the people vote to outlaw LGBT parades, that is in fact democratic.

What the hell are you talking about? Ridiculous logic.

Go ahead, ignore the part how I said if forms the legal basis for all of those things. You are proposing an open society codified in the legal system. Every single country that has done so has also ended up with open boarders with significant immigration as well. Look no further than Western countries to see how this ends.

Anti-discrimination needs to include not mocking handicapped/differently-abled, too, right?

Or is it just words used to attempt to garner support from nancyboy roommates in chinabot’s cellblock?

No one cares who you have intercourse with; but if you’re going to advocate a course of action for others, you need to model the behavior in your own Life.

So, unless chinabot admits to dating transsexuals, he’s just a transphobic terf. And probably hooked on tentacle pr0n.

Don’t worry chinabot. For just under 100,000 Won, CH has a class that can free you from your inhibitions.

Of course, there is a continuing education requirement and annual dues; but you don’t want to be fired for being a bigot during PRIDE Month, do you?

As we approach the Summer vacation in South Korea, let us spend a few minutes to remember the Halloween tragedy in Itaewon.

NSFW NSFW
https://archive.org/details/videohistoeyitaweonhalloween-YouTube
NSFW NSFW

And as we do, let us remember how few of those receiving CPR in the above video survived.

Do not go into places where a crowd that panics or becomes hysterical can trap and kill you. A car backfiring, a string of firecrackers, a sudden cloud of pepper gas, or something similar can change a lovely night out into an unthinkable nightmare.

Always be looking for another exit.

Educate your family and friends.

We have no evidence the tragedy was planned or caused by malice; but “bad actors” can (and do) use human weaknesses like fear, desire to see famous people, and inebriation to create similar accidents.

Don’t be a victim.

Be safe in Korea, or wherever you are. It can happen anywhere.

Translated;

It’s not Yoon’s fault that the Police and the government showed much incompetence in handling this tragedy.

So stop blaming Yoon.

Since we need him to stay on so that the USFK stays in Korea forever and we get all the joint US-South Korea military exercises for our viewing pleasure.
