I believe that what has happened here is a serious over stating of the facts. In any other instance if some were to be found working without proper documentation, I believe the response would be to have them immediately deported and not detained in a jail. Now for the fact that they were in a fight as I’m sure most would agree it takes two to engage in conflict of any caliber. But I was not in attendance of this particular altercation so therefore I cannot say for sure what really transpired. I think it is unlawful to detain someone without charge or cause.

If the blue hooptie-driving schmuck with diplomatic license plates and a Canadian flag bumper sticker who passed me on the left as I was making a left turn ten minutes ago had hit my car or the old lady walking in front of me, we could have had “unqualified English speaker busted by assault” in the headlines.

It is a shame about the fight, but in my experience in Korea you have to take your lumps. Even when strongly provoked (I was struck in the back), I held my temper and stayed out of jail. It doesn’t pay to be a “big man” in Korea, the deck is stacked against you.

I have noticed, If you haven’t hit the other guy, are speaking calmly, and the other guy is a ranting lunatic, the KNPs grab him. Just some thoughts.

k,
this thread is about the two canadians. if you wish to discuss the f-4 stuff, i shall humor your comments here. i will even post the following quick answers to you over there:

1. your question is inappropriately formulated. the f-4 is not about racial purity at all, it’s about being a former citizen of the republic of korea or the descendant of a former citizen of the republic of korea. this is demonstrated through non-korean documents such as birth certificates and korean documents such as hoj??k. as i mentioned, many american- and canadian-born kyopo are in fact ineligible for the f-4, despite having korean blood and despite some of them being ‘purely’ korean.

you can keep harping on this being about blood and racial purity and make comments about nazi eugenics and all that, but you’d just be demonstrating your lack of reading comprehension skills.

2. there is a possibility that i am wrong on this point, so i will look it up sometime later, but i said this based on some things that i thought were true but haven’t bothered to verify before.

4. no. you probably wouldn’t pass the entrance exam.

if you’re waiting for a kiss, learn yoga and go suck yourself.

Hi, Nora. Still waiting for my kiss.

1. It’s not about racial purity: what if I were 1/16th Korean? What if my Grandmother were a Jew? Who does the math at the Korean Eugenics lab? When does “Non-Korean” status get enacted?

2. Philipinos get special status in America? Is that why the US Embassy in Manila has a .50 cal at the front gates? They get special treatment if they serve and kill for George. So does anyone else.

3. Does bringing up scandals in one country entitle me to refer to that country as lawless? No. Ask Transparency International.

4. Can I have your job?

ha ha.

nah, it’s just that there are already 152 posts on this, marmot was down due to exceeding bandwidth limit, and the stuff in question include some specific issues (e.g., f-4 visas) not directly related to this topic. i just thought i’d unplug marmot’s hole.
