It is true that the net allows a level of anonymity that lets peoples true feelings show more, or their stupidity. <br /><br />I would never recommend spending time at KS. It is kind of a depressing site. As you said post after post of vile shit. It can really bring you down.Flinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751432023350206246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196408116686002095.post-9748199457392109762011-07-28T09:51:43.792-03:002011-07-28T09:51:43.792-03:00I've just spent a bit of time over at the Kore...I've just spent a bit of time over at the Korean Sentry ... it's just post after post of some of the most vile shit I've ever read. <br /><br />I would really like to believe that "most Koreans aren't as extreme as these idiots" ... but I guess nobody really knows how people really feel. The internet allows all of us some layer of anonymity (even if it's an illusion) and the normal censors of everyday life come off. <br /><br />I hope that the people I work with don't hold the same views as the Korean Sentry and, specifically, the Consoleman. I really hope they don't.Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812752649372636492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196408116686002095.post-79841308963514070952011-07-27T22:18:08.627-03:002011-07-27T22:18:08.627-03:00Thanks James.

Our low birth rate is countered by immigration. <br /><br />I would like to see Herr Consoleman move back to Korea and try and survive. :)Flinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751432023350206246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196408116686002095.post-15210057074330861602011-07-27T12:06:03.224-03:002011-07-27T12:06:03.224-03:00"I personally don't want to see Seoul tur..."I personally don't want to see Seoul turning into another Paris, LA, NY and London."<br /><br />It really doesn't matter what he personally thinks does it? If people in Seoul thought that way then they wouldn't call Yeoiudo the "Manhattan of Seoul."<br /><br />New York city is expecting to raise about seven hundred million dollars in new business from the legalization of gay marriage. <br /><br />Korea is a country that is expected to loose a few tens of millions of people over the next few decades from low fertility rates. The consensus among Koreans is that this down trend in population will cause some major economic problems. America has similar fertility rates, but every year America manages to replace those people with new immigrants. Those folks are usually hungrier for the American pie, and they create new business. <br /><br />The counselman can spew is idiocy all he wants, but countries that take in new people, and experiment with new ideas - like gay marriage - are going to always have new ideas, because new people will come in and replace the old ones. Korea probably will never be so lucky.3gyupsalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221321128938672113noreply@blogger.com
