   AT> Americans are no better. Our Democrats favored slavery just like their   
   AT> Josean dynasty did. Then they implemented segregation. And most recently   
   AT> they let 3000 black and brown people die along the US-Mexico border.   
      
   Granted, except for the most part we have moved past that, Korea has NOT, and   
   probbably never will.  Now, there are some parallels that will be obvious so I   
   don't feel I need to touch on them from the American side.   
      
   Korea as a society (mostly due to the confusious upbringing that frowns above   
   individial identiy and thought).  Which not only holds them back   
   technologically, but socially as well (One glaring part of this is seen in   
   aviation training.)   
      
   * It took them DECADES to adopt a safety first culture, and adopt Crew Resouce   
   Management.  Even when the rest of the western world embraced and adopted it.    
   The most recent example was Asiana 214, that besides the fact the training   
   Captain misunderstood a function of the Auto Throttle system, 2 other Captains   
   on the flight deck were not monitoring, or call for a go around until it was   
   too late.   1994 Korean Air 2033.  Crashed on attempting to land in Jeju while   
   trying to beat a typhoon.  The approach became unstable and the CoPilot   
   mentioned several times he wanted to GO AROUND.  A Canadian Captain told the   
   First Officer to continue.  At about 40 AGL the First Officer did attempt to   
   go around, and the Captain took over and set the plane down.  Too far down the   
   runway to stop in time and the Airbus A-300 exited the end of the runway.  The   
   Korean authorities jailed the first officer, and the Canadadian Captain was   
   released on bail with a promise to return, which he did not.  At least in the   
   US it is unheard of to threaten or enact arrests stemming from transportation   
   accidents for fear it will deter other flight crews from being forthcoming in   
   the subsequent investigations.  Additionally MOST if not ALL Western carriers   
   have abopted a NO FAULT GO AROUND POLICY, if either crew feels a go around is   
   called for, for ANY REASON.  A Go Around should be carried out, and if   
   countermanded, questions will be asked.  This may have also lead to a later   
   crash of a KAL cargo plane at Londan Standsted.  Where the Captains Artifical   
   Horizon Indicator was faulty, though both the Standy ADI, and First Officers   
   ADI were functiong nomrally.  The Captain and First Officer had already had   
   words during the prelfight.  The captain innitated a standard departure turn,   
   and the ADI still showed straight an level flight, so the Captain continued   
   banking the aircraft. Even with the illumination of a "Comparitor Error"   
   warning and the Flight Engineer warning of excessive bank the First Officer   
   said nothing while the Captain rolled the 747 into the ground!  The First   
   Officer SHOULD have pointed out the comparitor error and bank, or taken   
   control.  Instead he decided it was better to die than question a superior!   
      
   Don't even get me started on the Sewol disaster, which supposedly they   
   couldn't start their rescue operation because they couldn't locate the   
   President, who was getting a hair cut!  Leading to the death of over 300   
   children!  Even during the political fall out, trial and arrest of Park Gyun   
   Hee, nobody though to point out, "If our command and control structure relys   
   on ONE PERSON to dispatch the Coast Guard to a vessel in distress, our command   
   and control structure SUCKS!"   
      
   Korean can not move past their own history and use it as a sheild from any   
   type of growth.  Blaming Japanese Colonialization, fast industrialization, the   
   Korean War, the Dictatorship of Park Chung Hee, etc.  They have ended up with   
   a an emotionly immature society that from the outside looks entirely   
   narcacistic.  Couples dress the same.  Friendships end because someone likes a   
   different style of music, doesn't eat the same food.  When you ask the simple   
   question, of "Well, we both like this type of food, why can't when we go out   
   we eat this then you are with your other friends you can eat that."  They just   
   can't compute that, it's different, and accepting difference will lead to a   
   break down of social order!  We can't be friends! My ex wife at times acted   
   like she matured to the age of 12 and that was it, she would rage for hours   
   over the stupidest of things, or things that did not even concern her.  Korea   
   even has a diagnosis for this, Hwabyung, or Korean Rage Syndrome.  Again, its   
   somebody else, my history doesn't make me accountable!    
      
   The Korean school system is brutal, children spend over 12 hours a day doing   
   nothing but school work, first their normal school, then after school Hogwan   
   until 10pm or so, then go home and study, all to prepare them for the   
   "national exam", which if they fail means they will not get into a good   
   university, will not get a good job, which will disgrace their family.    
      
   The No No Japan protests and boycots.  Almost nobody involved in that was even   
   alive during the Japanese occupation.  If you got the people that were, it   
   would just be a bunch of old farts hanging out together.   
      
   Korea wants the foreign tourism, with their low birthrate they will have to   
   accept the fact they will need more and more foriegn workers.   
      
   As more an more social problems mount, they either enact sweeping open ended   
   laws that can trap everyone, which leads to them being used for retaliation,   
   "Privacy of face", "Defamation Using Truth", even the newly enacted "Anti   
   Stalking Laws."   
      
   As already stated, South Korea is IN CRISIS record suicides, record low birth   
   rates, people trying to leave the country in droves to escape HELL JEOSAN.    
   Heck when I was checking in for my flight out of there, I mentioned I had   
   lived there for 14 years, the guy looked up and said, "You're getting out of   
   prison...".   
      
   Any way, back on track.  My original post which I strayed FAR AFIELD, was I   
   find it hillarious that the South Korean government is up in arms about this,   
   which means South Koreans are being stirred into a tizzy, AND especially the   
   English Teachers, which given the thin ice (No pun attended) they always are   
   on living there on a work VISA are upset.  Though they are quite the left wing   
   bunch.  I do have to say though, when I had my runin with their Immigration   
   they were fair and came down in my favor.  I know other people though (Who   
   happened to be black) that did not fare as well (And they had their original   
   charges dropped by the prosecutors.).   
      
   Turn about is fair play!   
      
   AT> This seems like a misunderstanding; they thought that if they kiss our   
   AT> butts and build cars here, then it would be "totally cool" to sneak 500   
   AT> illegals in (it's so not cool though.)   
      
   Oh I don't think there was a misunderstanding AT ALL..  They rolled the dice   
   and got caught. OR and this may be a good topic for the conspiracy echo.   
      
   The new President is also very left leaning, and is courting Russia and China   
   and might be looking for a way to stir up AntiAmerican setiment to force a   
   troop withdrawl.  I noticed a lot of Koreans are pretty nieve about the threat   
   from North Korea.  When I was in Cambodia touring the Killing Fields with my   
   Ex, I pointed out that if for some bizarre reason North Korea won a war with   
   the South.  This is exactly what would happen.  She looked at me and said, "OH   
   NO!!!  We are all all Korean.."  I just shook my head and pointed to the stupa   
   with 5,000 Kmhere skulls in it. "3 Million Kmere though the same thing, there   
   are 5,000 of them looking at you!"
