Why are the Americans so into Politics? They're relentless. Every day they wake up and start half a dozen new threads on a Korean website about American politics. Most of the posters have lived here for 10+ years and probably don't even vote but they harp on about it day after day after day. Would they not be better off back home eating waffle fries with a gun hanging out the back of their jeans in some diner in the middle of nowheresville complaining to the waitress about it all?None of the other E2 countries ever seem to mention politics from back home.

That's true. I should ammend to, hey people posting new political threads that are actually all exactly the same, please don't.
I hate that lesson planning / teaching threads are pushed off to the side but the wasting time type of threads (Including this one) are front and center.

i never click off the main page. if it ain't on the 'recent posts' bit, i won't see it. anyone else the same?
I've always felt this site has way too many forums and sub-forums. Once something falls from the recent activity forum it's pretty much done. It might have been an interesting topic, a true masterpiece even, that just was posted in an unfortunate crack of time and it's missed. I don't know about others but I've never gone into the forums page and just perused. I think this site would benefit more from having just a few broader topics like the café used to. You could find posts you were interested in for a much longer period of time. Just take a scroll through the forum page. It's ridiculous how much they've broken things down. Who's going to bother going into all of those? Probably a lot of good stuff is going unnoticed.
Does this happen to anyone else, daily? I stand to the side of the subway doors, to let people off first. Everyone behind me piles on, pushing in front of me, also blocking anyone getting off. Makes no sense, and it's so rude...

Makes no sense, and it's so rude...Not anymore, it's improved quite a bit.The ugliest, most inconsiderate, selfish and dangerous side of Korean society still manifests itself in the driving culture. Given the anonymity of tinted windows and no fear of any real traffic enforcement, the most shameful side of Korean culture is on show for all to see.Honestly, the complete disregard for traffic lights, crosswalks, pedestrians, turn signals, etc completely blows my mind.
