Right, yeah, that’s what every commenter’s been saying in this thread, uh-huh. All it takes is some Adorno to catch that nasty white subtext.

BTW, I agree that Ms Fraser doesn’t know what the heck she is talking about. Anti-Americanism in Korea hasn’t nothing to do with kibun. Instead, it is a direct result of the Korean people’s failure to understand that Bush is The Decider and that Korea is not really Free unless they are told what to do by America.

People who use words like “boo-boo” and “panzy” are fags.

C’mon now. There’s a budding romance and…and I thought the Korean guys were the cock blockers.

20. For the politically correct out there, they are not fags, or poofters, they are pillow bitters.

‘Eunuch’ might have been a better choice of words if that’s what you were aiming at.

You’re correct Dustin. I should’ve used the term panzy, defined by the Urban Dictionary as “One who is an annoying bitch that has no balls.”

My apologies to all those poofters out there who may have been offended.

I have generally been a lurker here but I must say, Blueballs, you are right on the money as usual. I would only challenge your use of the word “fag” because it is just as offensive as the word “nigger” and I don’t think you intend it that way, although I could be wrong (in which case you suck). Please let me stay a fan and tell me you don’t mean to be a bigot, you just made a boo-boo.

“Many experts would have said that the 9/11 were impossible before it happened.”

Lousy appeal to authority. It wasn’t the first time airplanes had hijacked, so the real experts knew it was always a possibility.
