The net is place where guys with no social skills can say their bit without the risk of getting a wedgie. However, Korean web retards have the be the world's champs. Perhaps it is because Korea's schools churn out millions of drones who have exacatly the same opinion of everything who have no reasoning skills. Hence, because they lack the ability to present a point, they go of on immaute tirades that make Korea look like a nation of retards. The internet is certainly full of retards.

I'll of course concede there is a lot of idiocy and hatred on the U.S. web -- check out democratic underground or most of the pro-Howard Dean sites, for starters. But it's hard to top the Korean netizens for server crashing, distress-inducing hatred campaigns (think Salt Lake city IOC, Brigette Bardot, the current island dispute with Japan....). The nexus of the world's highest concentration of broad-band connections and, arguably, the world's lowest collective emotional IQ is a dangerous place. Lux bearer pretty much proved my point.
