		<description>Why would you cut off all Koreans simply because they are Korean?

		<description>Did the survey ask how many people would get married again AT ALL?  I'm thinking many would not...

Sonagi - Western women's weigh-gain is largely done within 3 months of saying, "I do."  Sure, western men get fat all their life, but there's no bait  switch involved there.</description>

		<description>I always laugh when some American or Canadian man complains about overweight North American women.  After all, the obesity epidemic is not limited to one sex.</description>

		<description>With been an American woman you can expect a few things:

1. She will get fat
2. When she is 30, she will look like she is 50
3. She will be "mature" enough to love you for your money, and yet still have the capacity to screw the retarded pool boy with the 15 inch cock
4. She will always believe in her beauty, even when her gut hangs over her min-skirt

With a Korean woman you can expect a few things:
1. She will find kim-chee, regardless of where she lives, like a wild hog hunting truffles
2. When she is 30, she will look like she is 19
3. She will always act like a toddler regardless of how long you have been together
4. She will never find her sexuality, if she does, she won't let you know. Even after giving birth they don't really know what a penis is.

I still say advantage Korean girl. They don't turn into just another morbidly obese woman eating bon-bons.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE FLAG? I AM A YANK!!</description>

		<description>that isn?€™t likely to happen until the 22nd century?€?

I think you're too optimistic. 

As for the stupid question would I marry Korean again, if I had a chance to? The answer is no.</description>

		<description>Excuse me. Who cares? Why should I care about manipulated research?  

Western research is predicated on the concept that the evidence should prove or disprove a premise. Korean research however, tends to seek evidence that justifies a premise. It procedes from a premise and looks for reasons why it must be true. 

By now it should be abundantly obvious that most of the evidence we use to support an argument is some pretty far-fetched rationalization.

For example, MRI evidence showing chopsticks strengthens certain muscles in the hand has been submitted as proof that Koreans have superior dexterity and manual skills.  The mere presence of a fan in a room at the time of death is generally accepted as proof that fans cause death. Research on Eastern medicinal cures invariably begins with the assumption that the treatment works, and then looks for chemical componants to justify why it works.

What this poll clearly demonstrates is an outmoded, patriarcial, xenophoebic, race-centric, backwards-looking view of reality. When we finally tire of producing daily surveys on peoples' prejudices about foreigners, then Korea will have entered the 21st century. Unfortunately, that isn't likely to happen until the 22nd century...</description>
