The problem with waygooks.

i like how they left my post up while removing every shred of context around it so it looks like a random statement by a crazy person

It's part of our long term character assassination campaign. Just wait and see what we have in store for you next month!

Waygooks come and go too often that is the problem. 1-5 years in a foreign country can make people do shady things. Waygooks who know they are leaving don’t care about lying, stealing and cheating people over.

There are a lot of waygooks that literally just screw over Koreans and waygooks a like.

There are also waygooks who are good and honest.

Personally though waygooks are usually here for money and fun which means they don’t care about the country and people in it.

I think this a good summation.

Koreans are polite and easy going in a way that westerners have forgotten.

Forgotten, the West is culturally degenerating…or never knew, they never had Confucian humanism in the first place.

No, thankfully Confucianism never spread to the West.

Confucianism the basically medieval Christianity but with an Emperor at the top instead of God.

The fact that most people don't realize that basically all cultures that rose to the level of civilization and commerce were all really oppressive and backwards until about 1950 is comical.

Merely mention different cultures as existing, and the bigots on here melt down.

That’s the culture of Western “liberalism.” 

Having grown up a military brat moving around from base to base and once to a different continent, I found it quite easy to meet new people because that's all I understood. Part of the issue was also that I found it quite easy to let go of people "friends" because that's all I knew.

There's both good and bad in that I suppose. I have no real concept of home. But on the other hand, I rarely, if ever, miss a place or a person. I have no lifelong friends because I've never known anyone my entire life that has remained integral to my entire life.

It was a weird way to grow up but almost without exception, every military brat I know or knew, loved growing up that way.

I'm still in touch with friends from 35 years ago. Although its not what it was.

Making long term friends in Korea is really not easy however.

This post seems to be about lame-o TEFL-types. They are just a sucky bunch of weeners who are old hat and nobody wants to be friends with. This thread, and more widely this board, furnish ample instances of why.

That sesameoil post was dripping with a kind of pugnacious entitlement where any friendship is a barren transaction that is only desirable to the extent that it is directly beneficial to himself. Throw that sh-t the f-ck out, who wants to be friends with someone like that?

Then there's the Don Quixote-ish lolgook77. Long boring posts tilting at windmills. I was here during the period he whitters on about and basically Korea has tightened up a bit regulations-wise, and people have gotten used to seeing foreigners, most of whom aren't lame-o TEFL teachers anymore. Big ol' yawn.

The fact that most people don't realize that basically all cultures that rose to the level of civilization and commerce were all really oppressive and backwards until about 1950 is comical.

Yet you support those who would like to turn back the clock and reinstate "really backward and oppressive" culture.
