		<description>Nulji's back with his usual 'scummy expat' commentary. To Nulji, any criticism of Korea whatsoever means the criticizer hates Korea and Koreans. Sorry to disappoint you Nulji-nut, but there are plenty of expats who like it here, and many of us ain't leaving soon, either.</description>

If South Koreans can be primarily responsible for their success, can North Koreans be primarily responsible for their failure?
"

Wjk writes:  I would agree with that North Koreans are pirmarily responsible for their failure.  But, not 100%.  I would add that idol like worship of Kim Il Sung-Kim Jong Il is based on Shintoism forced by Japan on Koreans and China's indescriminate sacrifice of their worthless lives during the Korean War is responsible for keeping the North Korean regime alive.  Notice I said "indescriminate sacrifice of their WORTHLESS lives"

I mean it.

They called it In Hae Jun Sool.</description>

		<description>'you should be happy they're not marrying white guys.' marmot

yeah, yeah, so typical. you can marry all of them, marmot; i don't give a fuck. but i do wonder how a group of people  who obviously despise koreans actually marries koreans. 

'the white man is evil reincarnate!' cried the black as he went home to his white wife

'i hate koreans!' whined the whino expat as he headed home to his korean family

'tsk, tsk, tsk, what a scumbag expat!' said pawi</description>

		<description>Yes, and nulji himself is actually the "scummy expat" too. An extreme case of self-hatred and projection there.</description>

		<description>The only qualification nulji has for calling someone an idiot or moron is the old takes-one-to know-one principle.</description>

		<description>Considering the fact that the majority of maps printed in South Korea even to this day don't show the DMZ or North Korea, I would hazard to say that it doesn't look like most mapmakers in Korea are deeply rooted in something the rest of us like to call 'reality'.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;well, why not be mature and just ignore it? what’s it really to you? who fucking cares if some korean drew a map? the fact that many of you simply go beserk is more interesting than the picture.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Who the fuck cares?  Well, apparently enough people that Yonhap---the state news agency---ran a piece on it.  Enough the it was one of the most looked at pieces on Naver.  And if you had actually read the piece, enough people cared that when it was posted on a major Korean portal site (in this case, Daum.net), it got over 500 comments, few of which, I can only guess, were left by scummy expats who marry their own cousins.  Which, BTW, I'd thought you'd approve of, because then at least then they wouldn't be marrying Korean women.
And I'll let you ponder the irony of telling anyone to "be mature and just ignore it."</description>
