Where the hell you getting deals like that?????

745sticky have you been boffing a tranny again?

From my experience, the more subdued Koreans need to feel they are comfortable with you in order to speak their true minds.  Of course that could be due to that fact that you are a foreigner, but mostly it's due to communication (and it's due to them speaking in English to you).. In order to do that you need to become a part of their circle and world and try to learn basic Korean.  If they can see you are trying to learn their language...you will see many doors open up to you.

So the reason to study Korean is not to use it as a means of communication but to show you tried to learn?

You came to Korea in 2007 and that's been your experience?

I've noticed virtually all NETs who have been in Korea more than ten years can't speak Korean beyond beginner basics.

It's also been my experience Koreans really look down on foreigners who have been in Korean for a long time but aren't fluent in the language.

They take it as a sign of low intelligence and/or extreme laziness, not realizing most adults cannot pick up languages as well as children (and not realizing Korean is one of the hardest languages in the world to get good at).

Because making you sit there twiddling your thumbs, purposely excluding you from conversation is rude?

Why does this always happen? You're doing it again

Me: excluding others from conversation is rude

You: omg stop trying to be the focus point of conversation. You are not the centre of the universe

Like, I don't even get how you can twist what I say so completely away from my original point

No one is excluding you. You not being catered to 24-7 =/= exclusion.

Hey dude LOL quick question bro, HAHA! If someone LOL feels like they don't like LOOOOOOL the UK or the US, maybe racism or something like that LOOOOOL should they ROFL 'f off back home' LOL or should they HAHA call out whats LOL wrong? LOOOOL

This is the person saying "I'm still at highschool"? I'm rolling
You sound like the type of person who would call any situation that doesn't go your way here, "racism".

Answer the question.

wait. if you are invited out with a group of people and they spend the whole night talking in a language you don't understand -- knowing you don't speak this language -- you just put it down to "oh well i can't expect them to cater to me 24/7"? and you don't consider this behaviour rude?

Answer the question.

The difference is you chose to come here.
If you hate it to the point where you need to let out tears daily on a forum about where you live, then yes. you should move.

But Colburnnn has a Korean wife so it's not like he can just leave. What if she refuses? What if she wants to be near her family?

So did they LMAOOOOOOOO LOLOLOLOL ROFLOLOLLLL

Thanks L I, and they are my family too. I love this country, however it is also a complete dump in many places. I call it out online and IRL so hopefully it can improve.

Mac seems like a bell, so should fit in well on this site. LMAOOOOOO

I asked him that before and he didn't reply. If pushed, he's going to say that it's OK for a few minutes, which I think most people would agree with.

And to be clear I wasn't personally calling out Colburnnn.
In general I see so many foreigners here doing nothing but talking shit about Korea and the people here...
I guess I don't know why so many choose to come here and then compare it with how great other countries are in their minds.
I understand people should fight for positive change, that's not what i'm getting at...

There's a difference between completely shitting on the place you live in/people, and fighting for positive change.

Where the hell you getting deals like that?????

Ok I admit I goofed there, 56 =/= 560

745sticky have you been boffing a tranny again?

Well this is certainly a new accusation

You weren't calling out anybody, you were jumping the gun and thinking the small list of (widely accepted) flaws with Korea that I mentioned was me stating I hate Korea. You even told me to f off home (in other words).

It seems you have a beef with foreigners who live here not accepting Korea warts and all. Well yes, that's what foreigners do. All around the world. Including the UK. (My home) Don't like the weather? 'F off home then' Don't like potato? 'F off home then' Don't like going to the pub for a pint? 'F off home then'. No, we don't do that do we. This discussion has been had here many times. Would a long list of the things I love cheer you up?

Nah you're right. 100%

Nah you're right. 100%

Well that was an anti-climax
