Wow. Is this a result of the last 20 years of Koreans being able to do pretty much whatever they want to the police ?

Re: “During his first interview with is lawyer and Crown Counsel he laughed at the Crown’s representative because she is a woman.”

Damn. This guy sounds like an overall class-A asshole.

News flash to Korean father : you aren’t in Korea anymore, buddy.

You are invited to visit some information about bst gmblng sts

What if the bear was about to be turned into a woman and married to a King to start a royal line? Huh? What then?

That’s why guns are bad. You see?

Not ?橫tradition??. It??s instinct.

Not ??carry guns??. Possess weapons

If a bear in Korea kills a person because the person approached its young is the bear wrong? Doesn’t the bear have that right?
If I’m home an intruder attacks my family, don’t I have the same right?

I do not have the privilege of constant protection by the law and at the same time I do not exist for a history of “hand-to-hand” combat. I need a weapon.

You’re absolutely right. In fact, perhaps Korea should amend its constitution to fall in line with your little thesis.

American “gun lunatics” are protected by the Second Amendment of the Constitution. Korea needs this for kid-beating….

“The government shall make no law abridging the right of the ajoshi to bust down sweet justice, Confucius-style, on the wife and kids….”

But, seriously….you’re not even close to arguing the point anymore. You’ve misdirected yourself. America didn’t have anything more to do with this than did Morocco. Why do you feel that bringing up American gun-related incidents has anything to do with anything being discussed here?

“All I??m saying is that it goes both ways”. I’m calling shenanigans on your ass, dude. That’s not what you’re saying at all. You’re attempting to equate two completely unrelated issues in order to deflect criticism from a phenomenon you can’t (and shouldn’t) rationally excuse.

You also pretend that “sweeping generalizations about Korean men beating up women and children” are somehow at issue here. They aren’t.

The only instance of that particular generalization I can find is the previous: “It??s well known and established Korean men beat their wives and children”. You wrote that, ostensibly so that you could rail against the promulgation of such unfair stereotyping. Interesting technique.

Anyway, have fun in Canada. Study hard (or else!!!!!!)

And you missed my point. If sweeping generalizations about Korean men beating up women and children are accepted, then it should be also true that Americans are gun lunatics (how many Americans have guns - 50 to 60%?). All I’m saying is that if you believe in the ends justify the mean, it’s satistically speaking, safer to be a wife/children beater than to be gun lunatics who let children play with guns, resulting in killings/maimings, as in the latest case of a 4 yr old child shooting dead his 2 yr old brother. All I’m saying is that it goes both ways.

You missed the point (I think–hard to tell what you meant there). Americans don’t, in general, defend (or excuse) egregious acts of violence.

Do you feel the need to defend this, just because Koreans are involved?

Are you coming down on the side of people who beat the crap out of their children, simply because they’re Koreans?

Yes you’re right. Americans defend it on the basis of tradition, only rights to carry guns and self defense.

I’ve been to Southern Africa and Korea is definitely much safer than Zimbabwe or South Africa. There is no way that Korea is on the same level of “criminality” in respect of homicides as Zimbabwe. But, perhaps the problem is definitional: As we learned in 2002, there is no such thing in Korea as accidental killing. If a person is killed — say, in a traffic accident — then criminal charges almost always attach.
