Comments on: South Korean Perceptions of the US Military Presence in Korea http://rokdrop.com/2008/04/22/south-korean-perceptions-of-the-us-military-presence-in-korea/ Korea From North to South Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:46:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: RYU http://rokdrop.com/2008/04/22/south-korean-perceptions-of-the-us-military-presence-in-korea/comment-page-1/#comment-380651 RYU Wed, 27 Jan 2010 01:30:24 +0000 http://rokdrop.com/2008/04/22/south-korean-perceptions-of-the-us-military-presence-in-korea/#comment-380651 You are wrong because I'm 1) not Korean 2) I'm a conservative 3) Don't hate myself, or my country, which ever one you were talking about ---- I can see how you would make these mistakes because to you American/hating Korea = good guys anything else = bad guys (so therefore, everything you hate or are not) You ate dog... so now you are some sort of Korea Expert Master? Come on... I was in 2ID as well, I was there for 5 years before getting out. Still in Korea. ---"With you it seems that all americans are racist korean haters. Just isn’t true. I can go to either side. Can you? I’m sure your are clever, but your displeasure with americans hides it completely."--- I never talked shit on Americans.. I talked shit on expats who do nothing but bitch about Korea. I have no displeasure with Americans...I am one. Only the ones that do things like complain about Koreans being ruled by stereotypes while making stereotypes and generalizations about Koreans...but that is not complaining about them being American that is complaining about them being a dumbass. If you paid attention you would see I am trying to keep this from turning into a Korean bashing post... but it's like trying to convert Osama. This used to be a post about how Koreans perceive USFK, why they see it that way, and what can be done to change it...not a post about how backwards Koreans are. Put down the haterade and give some valuable input.

Put them back on topic! You came out with the douchbag comment. I said you sounded like a KN on a pity party. Instead of calling me names because I'm an American, explain how I'm wrong. You assume so much. I spent nine years in Korea. Requested all but the first. But it was better duty back in the 80-90, than from what I hear now. I was there in 2002 thru 2003 I have eaten dog. I have been treated well by the KN's and badly. You can't talk about the bad all the time about americans as you seem to do. Not without someone calling you on it. Some GIs just have no good experience in korea. There are reasons for that. Often korean reasons, but also military ones. They didn't call 2ID as "above the no smile zone" for no reason. With you it seems that all americans are racist korean haters. Just isn't true. I can go to either side. Can you? I'm sure your are clever, but your displeasure with americans hides it completely. Now if you want to go back to name calling---up to you. That is your OPTION. Put them back on topic!

I am not at my last resort, I just wish the comments were back on topic instead of just Korea bashing, which you seam so feverishly bent on. BTW if self-hating had nothing to do with nationality I have no clue what would make you think I am self hating.. looks like just more crazed word vomiting. Also, "oh so cleaver" just proves my point.

You fit so well. "usually" is the operative word. Not a constant. You means YOU. Individual as opposed to national. Duchebag is your word. Why would I attempt to be "creative". I know so little of name calling. But you have it down. Retarded is also quite creative. You are very good at name calling. Most liberals are. I am disappointed that it took you four minutes to type your post and then STILL forgot to include the, Oh so cleaver, retarded comment. Your slipping! Liberals last resort is “name calling”. You fit so well.

You are making a stretch since I mention I am ex Army above...usually people that work for the DoD are right wing 2) Self-hating -- so just because I don't enjoy bashing my host nation I automatically hate America, huh? 3) Douchebag -- really creative... just use the same word I used... you are retired?? from what? JROTC? You just sound ridiculous… 1) why am I a liberal?

In other words...the Korean guy wants to move away from the foreign guy because the Korean is xenophobic...and not because he wants to move to a place more private where he'll have a chance to whisper a few sweet nothings in his girl's ear and maybe get lucky and play with her boobs or maybe get really lucky and diddle her 단추?

Take from it what you will, I don't usually notice these type of things but I have seen it more often than I'd like to admit. Are the Koreans Xenophobic and considered rude by almost everyone on the planet? It can't be denied. Guitard, he’s just giving a couple of examples from one night.
