In any case, this article better expresses what I was trying to say in my previous posts.

“Really, bluejives? I wasn’t aware CCNY offered a major in that.”

Grow up guys! Bluejives, Baduk, there’s clearly no slur on CCNY in that quote, he is clearly question your claim that its your job. On the other hand Dogbert, what relevance is Bluejives educational major to his job, how many of us end up in a job that exactly fits their major, and Bluejive what relevance is it how either you or Dogbert paid for his education, you’re hardly the first to have a full time job while graduating. It’s the relevance of the arguments that count. Unfortunately, you rarely seem to have any valid arguments only rhetoric, and I’m sure we’d all be interested to know who it is that employs you with the description that you mentioned.

Yeah, dont knock CCNY, Dogbertt. So what’s your own college background, if any, that is? Did Mommy and Daddy pay your way through school? Why dont you put your money where your mouth is. I spent 5 years of my life working a full-time graveyard shift to pay my tuition while earning my electrical engineering degree, which is like going through an intellectual bootcamp, at CCNY. That’s the CCNY way, and I’m damn proud of it.

A whole family depended her to put out to a total stranger so that they can eat. What a human tragedy! What a hopeless time! A woman was bred and trained to satisfy men, all kinds of men.

Confusianism, close to Christianity, discouraged the practice. However, the poor families (usually Ssangnoms, but sometimes fallen Yangbans) had no other source income but to use a female in the family.

Now, Korean society is becoming Christian, or at least match up to western society and it has just outlawed the practice. But, when the country gets poor again, the women will again be used as sex toys.

Don’t knock CCNY. It is a part of CUNY ( I graduated from Brooklyn college) and I almost went to CCNY. But, my parents thought the subway ride ($1 a day) would put too much strain on the family budget. The seventies were poor times.

About prostitution: Gorye, as a Buddhist nation, had allowed prostitutes as a part of system. Like Thailand, Japan and China, Korea embraced it as a necessity. Where would a single man go to relieve his sexual tension? If there is no prostitutes, he would rape other women. A conduit to deposit his sperms was desperately needed. And, some women enjoy to be used that way as long as the customer helps her to make a living without a husband. The oldest profession. In Chosun dynasty, due to Confusianism (family-oriented, pro-family?), prostitution was looked down but never disappeared. In modern times, a red-light district not only exist in Seoul but was openly frequented by Korean men. Many male virgins went to whore house before enlisting in the military service because, just in case they die, they did not want to be “male virgin” ghosts in next life.

And, talking about Thailand, they may, in the future, change the name of capital city from Bangcock to Bangsuck.
