I have yet to hear of an American getting charged or fined by the police because someone called them a name or swore at them. Also I don't know of any pastors being charged for speaking from the pulpit on their convictions. I don't know of any election campaigns where your ability to campaign is severely limited. I don't know of amy incident where criticism of the US President gets the justice department going after you. All of these restrictions do apply in Korea. So, that survey or whatever it is had better change their metrics and re take their survey
What's next, thought crimes?
We pay attention to what we want to pay attention to. Such is the trouble with the information age, unfortunately.You may be entirely right that everything you've experienced points to one thing -- but that's true for only you, a subset of one in a world of over 7.5 billion.because of this, anecdotes are no substitute for well derived statistics.Also, rather than arguing that every large, highly accredited census organization is wrong and must be part of a grand conspiracy, maybe you should examine your biases and think about how that may be affecting your opinions.
Someone swore at me Mr. Policeman. Please fight my battles for me.
All the things I mentioned aren't based on feelings or opinions. There is no law saying you must be arrested or fined for those things or have restrictions placed on your speech.
If you can post a news story of an arrest for telling someone to F off in the US, I'll certainly recant my words.
and yes that's my first reaction when a student tells me someone called them a name "man this kid is a p#$$y" ...
I HEARD, don't take this is 100% true, this is from memory, but there was an altercation in a parking lot in Busan between a wayg and an ajeossi and the wayg said, "Are you fuc*ing insane?" and the ajeossi sued him for defamation and won.
You are using anecdotal examples to argue that ranking South Korea above the United States is wrong.While your particular examples may be correct (not going to argue that they're not), only a statistical approach can really prove whether something like this is correct or not.Hence my mini lecture on avoiding the use of anecdotes for determining the veracity of large-scale phenomenon.In the US, people are often arrested for swearing at officers. Sometimes the charges are dropped as in this case of a single "F*** You!".Other times, a case can be made for disorderly conduct, such as in this case.Either way, people are quite regularly arrested for nothing more than swearing.I'll have your recant done in Iambic pentameter, please.
I remember reading a similar story, might've been the same one. What's funny is I also remember another story about an wayg/adjeossi altercation where the adjeossi had sworn at and even threatened the wayg in English. Wayg wanted to file against the adjeossi for it but the officer who arrived on scene said he wouldn't because it only mattered if the adjeossi had sworn in Korean. I think the claim was that since the adjeossi had said it in a different language, it didn't carry the same weight because he probably didn't fully understand what he was saying, lmfao. Like it didn't matter, even if he was issuing threats.Actually, I might have read about that story here because I also remember a bunch of follow-up posts with users going, "Well, then, from now on I'll just swear at them in another language, that'll be my get-out-of-defamation free card."I don't know how true that story is and I'm sure I'm getting some details wrong, but it felt like bullshit logic to me.
This is what we're teaching stepkiddo. You're stupid/ugly/fat etc Oh, THANK YOU! (sarcastic enthusiasm Level 100) *walks away*Obviously prolonged bullying is a different issue, but the last thing I want is for her to just fall down crying at this kind of stuff. Bullies love a victim and if you you can just dish a bit of sass back and act like it doesn't bother you, BOOM.
I think it's fair if they're allowed to swear at me in Korean and I can curse in English. Although, judging by the reactions to the music played at my gym I'm not sure anyone would recognize an English swear word anymore. They might just think I was talking to them like an elementary school student or singing the song they always play at the gym, "Bitches and Whores, all F*ckin' on my C*ck."
This is not the same thing...
What happened was decades of sexual harassment in which women had no recourse until finally they were able to enact laws and get enforcement ensuring they could go into a cafe or sit in a class or go to work and not be sexually harassed, especially by someone more physically imposing. Hence, why police exist.The "It's just a little sexual harassment. Tough it out dearie, don't run to the cops like some weakling" defense is not a good one.Seriously dude, do you even think before you type? In your deluded brain do you picture yourself in court saying these sorts of things and then the whole courtroom bursting into applause? You know on those court shows how some defendants are so braindead and say the dumbest things and you wonder if someone could actually be that stupid as to say something like that in front of a judge? Well.....
it didn't carry the same weight because he probably didn't fully understand what he was saying, lmfao. Like it didn't matter, even if he was issuing threats.
"Well, then, from now on I'll just swear at them in another language, that'll be my get-out-of-defamation free card."
