And hey dog torture is super there as well.

[Fresh Wind]

Does South Korea have teacher unions? Tenure?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yes, of course they do. They’re actually more advanced, in many ways, than we are. Which is stunning, as they were a high-grade yet third-world country when I was stationed there.

[MarMema]

Never. They torture dogs before killing them for meat because they believe it makes the meat more tender. Never will I believe they are advanced in any way. Never.

And I mean really sickening cruel torture. Not quick.

“They consider education to be at the highest wrung of the professions.”

I guess that they were wrung out and hung up to dry after reaching that rung of the profession.

South Korea has an epidemic of kids who study past midnight.

Their kids like math!

It is a very different culture.

cruel dog trade (no pics)

How can anyone think this nation deserves a second glance? Barbaric and medieval beliefs.

And when would that have been? In the 1950s? The 1990s?

Well janitors do much more for humanity than politicians. Somebodies pay needs to be cut.

1978-79 and 1981-82. How old do you think I am? LOL

He can always move there, like tomorrow, permanently, and we will even throw him a helluva moving party free of charge!

[scrabblehack]

So we should be able to go to any teacher we like?

[2ndDivisionVet]

I lived there for two years and was all over the place. I only saw dogs butchered and for sale once. They are probably the hardest-working people I’ve ever met and can be very friendly or very militant, depending on the situation. Also, they fought beside us in Vietnam (two large divisions and a brigade) and in Iraq. Every society has some dark sides. I love dogs, just as you obviously do, but it’s hard to judge someone else’s civilization by our standards.

[2ndDivisionVet]

They don’t want him. Blacks are looked down upon there in ways that would’ve made Bull Connor blush.

...those who can, do.....and those who can’t.....well, you know the rest...

[Gaffer]

To Obama, teachers are the front line shock troops of the one-world revolution. They mold and shape the young minds into such a muddled mush of socialism they can’t think straight. No wonder he thinks they should be paid as much.

Teacher salaries can be re-evaluated and adjusted when they have to start buying malpractice insurance.

[Jonty30]

Teachers are highly paid because they are highly qualified. There is no way a bottom third student, from a third-tier college, could enter the teaching profession over there.

[MarMema]

According to literature it is sold widely in restaurants. There are videos of the torture they use and it is so so inhumane. Beyond belief.

Sorry but they will not get a nod of positive anything from my direction until they stop being so cruel. Thanks for your input though.
