   You get it. You were there. I didn't know. I thought your were another TDS   
   case. My apologies. I know what it's like to move to a strange new place where   
   everyone around you has something up their butt for an unapparent reason. That   
   was my experience in New Mexico where I worked with a Korean woman who tried   
   to get me fired. Now after hearing your take on Korean "culture" I'm seeing   
   this in a different way; it wasn't racism, it was just "they'll walk all over   
   you to elevate their status."   
      
    BH> investigations.  Additionally MOST if not ALL Western carriers have   
    BH> abopted a NO FAULT GO AROUND POLICY, if either crew feels a go around is   
    BH> called for, for ANY REASON.  A Go Around should be carried out, and if   
    BH> countermanded, questions will be asked.  This may have also lead to a   
    BH> later crash of a KAL cargo plane at Londan Standsted.  Where the   
    BH> Captains Artifical Horizon Indicator was faulty, though both the Standy   
    BH> ADI, and First Officers ADI were functiong nomrally.  The Captain and   
    BH> First Officer had already had words during the prelfight.  The captain   
    BH> innitated a standard departure turn, and the ADI still showed straight   
    BH> an level flight, so the Captain continued banking the aircraft. Even   
    BH> with the illumination of a "Comparitor Error" warning and the Flight   
    BH> Engineer warning of excessive bank the First Officer said nothing while   
    BH> the Captain rolled the 747 into the ground!  The First Officer SHOULD have   
      
   I think this is going over my head, and I apologize for that. I'm trying to   
   understand but it's a lot to digest.   
      
    BH> Korea wants the foreign tourism, with their low birthrate they will have   
    BH> to accept the fact they will need more and more foriegn workers.   
      
   They can count me out. I'm not impressed with what I've seen come out of there   
   (my ex co-worker.)   
      
    BH> mentioned I had lived there for 14 years, the guy looked up and said,   
    BH> "You're getting out of prison...".   
      
   There's good and bad everywhere, but I know what it's like to live in a place   
   (NM) where everything is a mind game, and fortunately I know what it's like to   
   escape.   
      
    BH> The new President is also very left leaning, and is courting Russia and   
    BH> China and might be looking for a way to stir up AntiAmerican setiment to   
    BH> force a troop withdrawl.  I noticed a lot of Koreans are pretty nieve   
    BH> about the threat from North Korea.  When I was in Cambodia touring the   
    BH> Killing Fields with my Ex, I pointed out that if for some bizarre reason   
    BH> North Korea won a war with the South.  This is exactly what would   
    BH> happen.  She looked at me and said, "OH NO!!!  We are all all Korean.."    
    BH> I just shook my head and pointed to the stupa with 5,000 Kmhere skulls   
    BH> in it. "3 Million Kmere though the same thing, there are 5,000 of them   
    BH> looking at you!"   
      
   It's careless to not take the man seriously (Kim.) He's got nuclear weapons   
   and he's testing them. It's too late to laugh it off; it's time to make   
   agreements.
