Is foot fetishism a crime in Korea?

Honestly, officer, I don't know who could have mailed me this box full of feet! Please, you gotta believe me. One of my friends must have sent it as a joke! Seriously, though, foot fetishism is probably a crime. Everything is a crime in Korea.

“Just how often is that(”all the time”), every minute, everyday, or what?”

Well, off the top of my head: there were 13 of them arrested in Kangnam this summer, this guy in Gangneung, and, well, I forget. But that’s at least one a month on average for 2007. So, yeah, all the time.

This may be a stupid question, but what if someone actually DID mail some English teacher something without their knowledge? Since I had a pretty nasty falling out with a certain disreputable and corrupt foreign language high school that will not be named, with the principal of said institution saying that “he would make me pay” for humiliating him after quitting after no longer wanting to work at a place that dealt so heavily in bribery and corruption, and I told any parent who asked exactly why I quit (he was spreading the lie that I was asking for more money, instead of quitting over a teacher actually spreading lies IN CLASS that I was a PORNOGRAPHER) – nice school, right? and they’re supposed to be the best of the best – I really feared that something like this could really happen.

If you wanted to get at someone, what’s to keep them from just putting an ounce of pot in an envelope in another country and mailing it to them here?

Would I be responsible for that, or is there some higher level of active evidence required to prove that I’m in fact a perpetrator and not a VICTIM?

I was thinking about just such a scenario, and it’s for this reason I don’t accept packages unless I’m expecting something.

#12,

What do you get when you cross a biker and a Jehovah witness? Someone who knocks at your door every Saturday morning and tells you, “$@#% off!” when you answer the door.

you want to be considered wrong by Pat Robertson?

I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for in life.

Yes, they want money.

I’ve always wanted to be considered “renegage and wrong”. It has a rebellious ring to it, doesn’t it? The only problem is wondering who hands out this interesting assessment and do they want money?

don’t be a Jehovah’s witness.

first, their theological premise is considered renegade and wrong.

2nd, you’ll run into the denial of blood transfusions and blood products. Thus, in certain situations, essentially electing to die of your own will.

they’re a headache.

#4 is retaliating for all the times some non-Canadains have sounded like the Korean media when picking on Canucks for being busted for drugs or something else. It’s quite obvious that he didn’t mean “all the time” literally. How would that be even possible? Canuck or not, I have no sympathy for these people.
