That was great, there may be something of you that I really like! I do love the Female Korean Eye, when she isn't trying to blacken mine that is. Can't speak for others but as to my own feeling of God, He created us. Only He/She/It knows why. We can clam no greatness for ourselves from this. Now if we were decended from God, then we can, but we didn't, so we can't. Just a sinner am I. No greatness involved. Koreans have a right to be proud of the natural beauty of their land. Where it is still natural, there is great beauty. I've seen it. I think it is the marketing that makes us smile. My experince in Korea was that there may be four seasons, BUT, Spring and Fall last about two weeks each at best. Still, a beautiful land. I worry that the DMZ will not be allowed to remain in a natural state when Korea unites. If it is allowed to be turned into Massive houseing like most of Seoul, I will hate Korea for it's short-sightedness. Never will I allow Koreans to talk of the beauty of their country without challenge, if the land in the DMZ is built up rather than preserved in the natural state.

Most ancient civilizations and old countries relate their origin to divine intervention in one or other way. Korea has thousand years of history too. This happens not only in asia but also in africa, europe, america etc. Even the USA has some religious peculiarity in its foundation since the masons that participated in this event practice some rituals based om religious belief. If you look at your constitution you see your government begging for god's blessing and in your dollar you see your government admiting that they believe in god. Regarding the four seasons, as you know koreans are very proud of the beautiy of their land and history proves that even foreigners acknowledged that. Do you remeber the ancient names of korea? "The land of calm morning" " The land as beautiful as an embroidery". I don´t remember koreans saying that only korea has four season but I saw koreans talking proudly on how beutiful are the four seasons in korea, and that's true. Many foreigners go to korea to see that. Regarding the eyes of koreans, we really have the best eyes, but we wear glasses pretending our eyes are not good in order not to worsen the inferiority complex foreigners have toward our eyes.

I submitt to the godlike race with ex-ray vision, west of the sea whose name must not be spoken. I am reminded why I come here. My life is so peaceful that I must visit here to get my need for conflict filled. Good luck with the wife's vision KingKitty. Thanks for the first smile of the day KingKitty!

Interesting! If I remember correctly, almost ALL the korean women I knew wore glasses. Four distinct seasons? They need to come to Mississippi. Spring is longer here than in Korea as is fall. Hot Summer and yep we have snow in the winter also. Sometimes Koreans can be funny. At least I don't hate them because they are Korean. I would never put a sign up saying "No Koreans Allowed". Like they did in 2002 for Americans. Ok, I'm just rambling now! KingKitty, I never heard the one about the Korean eye being stronger than the western eye. Interesting!

That said its quite profound for someone to take a look at a cartoon and somehow translate it to Americans feeling like third world nation citizens....still trying to make the connection there Who superior to who is something I expect out of a Nazi fund raising event…..unfortunately its all too often Koreans are obsessed with the whole superiority subject…I mean Korea is the only nation in the world with four distinct seasons….or Koreans are direct decendents of god…or my favorite one…the Korean eye is stronger than western eyes

I would be from the best country, the richest country, the most powerful country. There in no way that I would be able to NOT look down on all other peoples of the world." I am sure there are some Americans like that. I have known a couple. Usually they were not well educated, young, lacking worldly experince. Most Americans that (are aware) of the rest of the world, have the knowledge and experince that allows them to see not only America, but also Europe, Asia, Africa, and the rest, as to their desire to know. I knew a young American that had been adopted as a baby, from Korea. He looked forward to learning about the country from which he came. He had a hard time in Korea. They called him a Banana. He took it out on me one day, by passing the insults he had learned, on to me. He told me that all Americans are MUTTS. And explained that we are so mixed that we have no race. I told him that he was correct in my case in that I have English, Irish, American Indian and only God knows what else. He hated koreans when he left. I ran into him in Bosnia in 1998, about six years later. He married a White Female and seemed happy. He looked 100% Korean, but he was 100% American. Koreans rejected him. Americans didn't seem to care. I didn't. Moral: Whats inside is what counts more often than not. Hate is not a skin color or a race. You shall be know by the words that you speak and friends that you keep. Still, I know what Koreans in general think and believe. If they were raised in Korea! Just as I know what a twenty something African American thinks. Which is different from what a Fifty something Black Man may think. Moral 2: We are not all the same. We are all very different. I think that there are some people that look at Americans and say to themselves;

That's how I see myself when compared to americans too, and that's why I always say that no korean or americans are superior to each other.
