Yea CO2 I completely agree with you! That leap made by some people makes no sense at all.
I don't understand the "You teach public school, shame on you" argument. It happened on here a week ago when I made an off-colour, sexual joke. "You teach kids, I can't believe it, OMG." A better example would have been this weekend. As many of you know, I'm recently single, so on Friday night I had a bit too much beer. I texted this 10/10 Korean girl that I met years ago and told her that I would love to take her to a love motel and have some fun with her. NOW, if you want to criticise me for being a complete moron, go for it. It was a stupid thing to do and I apologised later to her and her BF, however, I got a message saying, "You teach elemenetary school, shame on you, you pervert." I will never understand this. Do they think my sex drive will transfer over onto 11 year olds?Unless they make posters of the chat and put them up all over the neighbourhood around the school, the kids and community are free from this. (They live in North rural Incheon, me I'm well south of Seoul.)If a teacher is clubbing and dancing with a guy/girl, are they to be shamed for that? Are teachers not allowed to have sex with people? I'm an idiot, but it doesn't bleed over into a "Where are you from?" lesson.
Just thinking about it a bit more...Teachers shouldn't be shamed for doing things that every adult does (sex, drinking alcohol etc).But on the other hand I wouldn't want people to know that I "texted this 10/10 Korean girl that I met years ago and told her that I would love to take her to a love motel and have some fun with her". That reflects badly on you if you are a teacher I suppose.

I doubt he's telling people in real life. Most all of us have done stupid stuff in our lives that we'd rather not make public. EDIT: While I would hate to be the recipient of such a message, I can also sympathize with the frustration of "you are a teacher so you must be pious and perfect" attitude.
I completely understand the rant about us having to be nuns and monks generally in the eyes of Koreans.

Rant two: Eggieguffer. Everytime I see your username I feel a little bit sick. It's grim

A mere text message?? How crude! I require a handwritten letter imbued with perfume and delivered by courier. Proper courtship, thanks!
So you want a handwritten letter delivered by a courier late Friday night? Do such services exist?Quote from: CO2 on April 03, 2017, 07:44:52 amFriday night I had a bit too much beer.

In all honesty though, a text message propositioning sex would be a major turn off.
