The threat to democracy in Korea

The past Friday was quite unreal and I was out to see the crowd for myself. Took photos and videos. The video should be available very shortly.
Of the many themes behind the protests was that Lee Myung-bak (the current President) is a dictator and that he is a threat to democracy.

Bullshit: Lee Myung-bak is a threat to Korean democracy.
The truth: Mob rule is a threat to Korean democracy.

If I actually spoke my mind in front of City Hall, the crowd would actually either kill me, come pretty close to it or just make my life living hell by having a candle light vigil in front of my house wtih the occasional rock thrown to smash in my windows.
The logic is really screwed up.
President Lee Myung-bak, like him or not, was elected into office and won by a landslide because the people hated Noh Moo-hyun and his incompetence. He was elected and he became president. One of the things they said on loudspeaker was that he cheated his way into presidency. If anyone can provide a shred of evidence to support that, I will suck his dick. But it can't be proven, why? Because it's a complete lie, that's why.
It's the mob who terrorize the city that are a threat to democracy. They instill fear upon those who are willing to not vote for them. Just today, protestors went violent and attacked riot police with rocks and sharpened bamboo sticks. Against folks like those, unless you are willing to put your life on the line and kill those who attack you, you can't really stand up to them and expect to have a normal life.
Democracy in South Korea is under attack, but by those who claim to be those who promote it.


Fucktards that are fucking up my democracy

That's right. It's been less than two months since this rant-blog has launched and surprisingly, 200 people have stumbled across it.
Hooray.
It actually shows up on google search. If you look up "war on bullshit," it's on the first page. It used to be the third one down but I guess my slow post rate has something to do with the slide.

Thank you for supporting the war on bullshit!

Children and Freedom

Before we begin, let's make a few things clear.
Children, by definition, do not really have responsibilities. This is why they have legal protection under a guardian and even in the event of committing crimes, they are tried with a different set of laws than adults.
Freedom is meaningless and dangerous without responsibility. If an organization feeds, clothes and houses you and decide what you will eat, wear and sleep in, you do not have any freedom but these three things will be guaranteed to you. To have freedom over these three matters means you are responsible for supplying yourself with the means to procure these.

Bleeding Heart Bullshit: Children should be given maximum freedom.
The Truth: Only if you want them to amount to nothing.

Let's face it, as kids the objective is to be as useful of a person as possible through the education system by the time you've reached 18 so that either you can land a decent job or go to college (and a good one if your scores are good enough).
But as kids, all we want to do is play. We have no sense of decency, courtesy, sacrifice... we are in essence very much like animals. But this is a subject for a bigger debate. In short, as children, we don't know what we need to know by 18 and it's certainly too far away for us to work for with the level of discipline and focus we have at such a young age.
As children we do not really have the means to achieve both this and make our own living at the same time. Therefore we cannot be responsible for our own well being and like stated above, without responsibility, you cannot have freedom.
Even as adults, most of us can't really pin down what freedom really is, but those of us who actually stop to think about the world we live in tend to have a general idea. So how are we supposed to give this sort of thing to children?

Our ways of giving freedom to children far too early is already showing signs of failure. In most countries not bullshitted to death by bleeding heart leftist propaganda, the kids are actually learning something.

This girl can kick your ass at math. Curfew? She may not even be allowed to decide who to get married to.

That's the ones that can actually afford to go to school and learn. But look at the problems facing our society.

If all else fails, there's always porn stardom.

Kids are getting "higher scores" because the standards are being dropped left and right. Children are under so much protection and have so much rights and freedoms that in some cases, they're telling the teachers what they want and what they'll do. Believe me, I did some teaching before and it's a disaster. I was able to square away my students and had them performing at levels unimaginable when I first got them but eventually a few quitters told their mothers, their mothers told the school and I got fired. The losers? The kids who wanted to learn.

You simply cannot give children freedom. They do not have the maturity (and experience) to handle the responsibilities required to have it. Having said that, neither do a lot of adults, but we do have to draw the line somewhere.
Parents have a responsibility for their childrens' future. That responsibility cannot fall on the child him or herself.

Gun Control = More Gun Crime

Alright, the following is written under the assumption that you live in a country where there are too many guns to stop anyway and doesn't apply to societies you find in the likes of South Korea and Japan where guns in the hands of the publc are so rare that being armed yourself is extremely hard to justify.
We're talking about cases like the United States, UK and if we add a little extreme, South Africa.

Bullshit: Illegalizing guns will reduce gun crime.
Seriously: If you were an armed criminal, would you rather rob the 7/11 with the owner packing a 12 gauge shot gun or the 7/11 with the "gun free zone" sticker on the glass door?

I mean, I've seen the statistics and you too probably have seen many statistics surrounding this matter. The "horrors" of gun crime and the number of youths that get shot each year (never mind they are members of a gang who were shooting it out in a gang war). But logically speaking... how on earth will making guns illegal in a country already with guns going to work?
You know the criminals won't obey the law and will get the guns no matter how they get it. It's us law abiding citizens like you (hopefully) and me who won't get guns if posession of it is illegal. So what's going to happen? Easy picking for the criminal really.

Multiple Choice: As an armed criminal, who would you rather attempt to mug?
A)

Does this guy even need a bodyguard?

B)

Yes, that's a real AR-15. It's suppressed so she can kill you quietly without scaring her cat and has a reflex sight so she can shoot you faster.

C)

She's got one hand in her pocket and the other one's waiting to get chopped off for the trinklet.

Let's forget about just how "decent" and "nice" we are for a moment and let's say we're criminals and we want to rob houses, convenience stores and if we're a little more enterprising, ATM machines by throwing a chain around it and attaching it to the cargo haul hook on the back of our SUV and flooring the gas. Would we suddenly feel that we should go about doing these things without being armed? I highly doubt it. I could go in with a knife, but what if there's a guy in there who's an ex-Israeli Special Forces guy who's since retired and has been making a living as a Krav Maga instructor for the past ten years? My ass is toast. With a gun (and knowledge on how to use the damned thing, which I do have [Note to PMCs: please hire me]) even he would know better than to attempt to jump me.

South Africa's crime rate has gone up like it's no body's business since guns got "outlawed" and in Britain, current rulings in court make it look like you're not allowed to defend yourself, even with your bare hands. It's like the instant a criminal breaks in, you have to dial 999 and hope that the nearest armed police officer will teleport into your home. Not going to happen. Maybe in a million years but not anytime soon.
Switzerland, however, has the entire country armed and their gun crime rate is low as anybody else's. Who'd want to rob a Swiss Victorinox store in Switzerland? The owner has a gun and knows how to use it and so do the customers.

In a way, having a gun is like having a personal nuke. Remember what happened in World War II? America had nukes. Japan didn't. As a result, Japan got pwned big time. Cold War, America had nukes, so did the USSR, so basically it turned into a 45 year staring competition where the Soviets blinked first.

The point is, it's not rocket science. It's plainly obvious. If you live in a country where there is access to firearms for criminals, then guns need to be legal and quite frankly, I'd feel safer protecting my house with a UMP-45 than a Berretta 92.


UMP-45: .45 caliber, select fire whoop ass.


Berretta 92: Never trust a pistol. Especially a 9mm Pistol.

So next time some anti-gun hippie tries to argue their case to you, mug them.

Marrying a Korean woman

Although there are exceptions, marrying a Korean woman can be one of the biggest mistakes you can ever make.
This usually refers to Korean women with very little actual exposure to western culture... i.e. the Korean women who are very Korean in terms of culture and upbringing. So in a way, it's not about race as it is about Korean culture.
This doesn't mean Korean-American women (aka Gyopos) are safe. Actually those are a completely different bag of worms which I won't cover in this posting.

The sales pitch: Korean women are kind, warm, submissive and loving.
The truth: Korean women will be kind, warm, submissive and loving until they tie the knot. Then they become cold, dominant (especially with money) and will take orders directly from their mothers when it comes to family policy.

Women are hard to understand, but Korean women are even harder. However, it's not impossible and this one post will bring to light many things that a foreigner usually has little or no way of figuring out.
Check this out for starters. A Korean woman in her 20's is usually overly kind to white men but will be openly hostile and inconsiderate against Korean males (even if the Korean dudes are kind) and will go head over heels for white men but will still go on that anti-American demonstration rally the coming weekend and go all nationalistic for a night or two before grovelling and courting white dudes at their feet the very next day.
Make sense?


Weekend America hater

So why do things work this way?
It's because they see white men as the masters of the world and feel the need to associate with those people to "raise" themselves on the social ladder. There is probably some element of truth to this but here in lies the danger. They don't marry a white man because he is a great guy or anything, but simply because he is white (and not a total train wreck. Face it, Korean women aren't going to marry a white guy if he's got no money).

The whole act of being submissive, kind, shy etc. is pretty much a ploy as it always has been to grab the man they wish to marry. Don't fall for this bullshit. Think of this as the free download demo version. When you marry (make the purchase), the real product installs and the whole picture changes.


Before

How does it look after marriage?
- She takes control of the money.
- You realize that you can't hold a single interesting conversation with her.
- She actually doesn't like sex.
- She doesn't love you for who you are, but will make sure that you become what she expects you to be. Pressure, pressure, pressure. You are now her cow and she wants to see that milk flow.
- She takes orders from her mother. There is no escape.
- It will be like she just aged another 15 years after the honeymoon.


After

Surefire signs that you've got the wrong person.
- She plays musical instruments quite avidly.
- She puts on a lot of makeup.
- She is anorexic.
- She's an artist (RED ALERT).
All of these she will use to lure the unsuspecting foreign dude. It's a trap!


If she makes one of these for you, kick her out. IMMEDIATELY.

Signs of hope.
- She plays sports.
- Has travelled a lot (without Ramen supplies) and is worldly.
- Can hold a good conversation.
- Isn't too close to her mother.
- Doesn't give to squirts a piss about nationalism.
- She makes just as much, if not more money than you.


This is the actual number of Korean women on earth that can hold an interesting conversation.

The rumors and misconceptions regarding how great Korean women are is complete and dangerous bullshit. Don't fall for the cute shit. Swear to God... it's going to fuck up your life.

The Demo: Sweet, submissive, caring.
Release version: Dominant, cold and basically a Trojan Horse with her mother calling the shots (and stealing your money).

Optimism

The debate with Rob Henderson on milforum continues and basically it's moved on to optimism vs pessimism. Refer back to this post to see where the discussion had actually come from.

Basically after trying to advocate that the richest people must be taxed even more than they are being taxed now and being convinced by a few others that complete and absolute global equity is impossible he had to throw one of these:

Posted by Rob Henderson

I know it won't happen... But call me crazy, I keep hoping for the best. This takes me back to the VERY FIRST PAGE of this thread... Fundamentally different outlooks on life. Optimism vs. Pessimism. I'm an optimist, I will hope for the best. Pessimists will try and use harsh reality checks to bring optimists down, but it ain't happenin' here.

So I had to reply with this:

---

You have no idea how dangerous blind optimism is. Basically that's what your optimism is. No, you're not crazy, you're just blind and a few other things. "Crazy" is often used as an excuse by people who know they're wrong but need a reason to be wrong and yet feel alright about themselves. After all, you can't really accuse a guy who is really "crazy" or "messed up" of anything.
Blind optimism got soldiers tied down in a confusing and unending conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Blind optimism is responsible for the financial melt down.
Blind optimism sent millions of troops "over the top" to get slaughtered by artillery and machine guns in World War I.
Blind optimism is the cause of countless structural failures of bridges, buildings etc.
Do you even know what real optimism is? It's the acknowledgement that things can get far worse. It's the realization that currently things aren't at a state where the only place to go is up. The understanding that our current situation is not as bad on the "good-bad" meter scale as we'd like to think.
Sure, overboard pessimsim leads to nowhere either, but in the real world usually pessimism ensures that security systems are redundant, elevators are designed to withstand three or four times the weight capacity as actually stated, etc.
Optimism is intellectual laziness at work.

Remember when the Germans voted in Hitler? For a while, they became optimists. They felt that their situation probably couldn't get any worse so they threw their chips in with Hitler and believed that he could bring them to glory unseen before.
Same goes with people in Communist countries. They often supported the Communists because for a while, the people became optimists and believed that there was very little room to go down and that these Communists could bring about miracles.

The pessimist will prepare for situations, first the ones likely to happen, then the ones not so likely but still possible. He'll also know that regardless of the countermeasures, bad things can still happen, so he'll be ready to tackle actual emergency situations as well. The optimist will close the book and go home, just to see his responsibility on the 9 O'clock news.

Pessimists who use pessimism to keep their drive to move forward in check (but not so much as to stifle any movement at all) are known as realists. Optimists hate realists because it means they have to do more work.

Optimism in action.


Send them over the top. I'm sure that German machine gun's bound to jam sometime...


What do you mean "how much is it really worth?" No one will know!


No way, this is going to be a short and easy war. We don't need to send more troops.


In fact, I'll just go ahead and disband the Iraqi Army as well.


Oh it'll be fine!

Getting the idea yet?
Optimism the state of mind that fosters bullshit.
