<p>Hi.....just dropping by...living in California, although I REALLY need to get the HELL Aout of here as I lost the ability to read speed limit signs and tell the difference between snow and cotton....:D</p>
<p>A teeny weeny bit about me: I hate science. I hate MIT. I hate Berkeley. I hate UCLA. I hate California. I hate engineering, physics, chemistry, you name it. I'm able to socialize. I'm able to speak in full paragraphs. I'm able to express myself. I plan to major in finance. My first choice is NYU. I don't wear glasses. I'm "in shape" (round is a shape lol). I hate seafood. I hate spicy food. I don't eat kimchi. I'm extremely picky. I'm extremely liberal. I hate Geoge Bush. I hate the south.</p>
<p>By the way, after I graduate college, I'm getting a job on wall st working 100 hrs a week. Then I'm getting my MBA (preferrably Harvard, Columbia or Wharton). Then back to wall st. No detours. I'm not going to med/engineering school. Bite me. </p>
<p>Oops I just broke every asian stereotype known to man. So sue me.</p>
<p>Just kidding :)</p>
<p>PS If you don't find my rant funny, ignore it.</p>

<p>You guys might be wondering why the hell I have the same stuff like futurenyustudent... well we are basically the same! We are both koreans, though we hate what many asians love. Simple. (What's uupp albert lol)</p>
<p>Hey kev (10 char)</p>
<p>Hey king, a kid from my school is going to Cambridge this year. I applied to Oxford, but didn't get in.</p>
<p>Actually, Korean students who want to go into business are a lot more common than you might think. Now students who want to do subjects like archaeology or gender studies are pretty hard to find.</p>
<p>I dunno about that...because I had a pretty hard time finding them.</p>
<p>Well somehow I seem to be surrounded by the type.</p>
<p>lol Im going to Warwick (Cambridge reject) and doing International RElationship, Law and economics major</p>
<p>PS: OH YEAH 우리는 대~한민국 입니다!! GO KOREA against SWISS!!</p>

<p>

<p>I came across this thread from a link somewhere else in the forum. I’m going to be blunt. This is pretty weak. I’d tell my dad to tell everyone to go **** themselves because if they were dual citizens they’d do the same exact thing (tell the Koreans to go **** themselves). And as an american citizen, you have no obligation, legal or moral, to that country or anyone there. I cringe every time I hear reasoning like this. Frankly all your dad has to say is MYOFB. I don’t let ANYONE push me around. And that includes the population of a small country.</p>
<p>btw, sorry if I revived a dead thread. 
I just had to chime in.</p>
<p>i’m here to revive the thread!!

Currently in Cali

<p>^Random comment…but as a Korean I wanted to clarify something. I don’t know if you’re Korean (though judging by your post I’d say not) or if you’ve ever lived in Korea, but that is, in some strange broad sense, a part of culture (bad word choice). It is easy to say that when you’re American and have no knowledge of the situation. But South Korea is a country that has, literally, been fighting a war for fifty years that has yet to end. The Korean War was left at a stalemate and has yet to be officially declared over. Thus, we are a country that can go to battle (NOT war…since the war was never finished) any time, and with our own blood, nontheless. That is why Korea has such a strict military draft. With a dwindling population, we cannot afford an emergency draft, nor are we in a situation where we have the luxury to resort to one.</p>
<p>I know this sounds absurd and exaggerated. Were I not a Korean, I would probably think the same thing. And I’m certainly not saying that American citizens (even if they are Korean) should go do service they have no obligation to do. But the truth of the matter is, with the ridiculous number of draft dodgers who use ridiculous methods (gain excessive weight, flee to another country, get huge tattoos, bribe people) to avoid the service, you can’t blame people for feeling disdain towards a lack of military service (just to be clear- person in question is a US citizen, so I’m not saying he deserves this).</p>
<h2>Instead I’m saying that it wouldn’t hurt to think twice before telling anyone from a country that you barely know that they should tell a system to f*** itself. Most Korean men are proud to serve in the obligatory military service, because in our country, it is a duty and a necessity for the welfare of the Korean Peninsula as a whole.</h2>
<p>Now back on topic- </p>
<p>*hi i’m Korean too! yay!</p>
<p>anyone go to one of those Foreign Language schools in Korea?* </p>
<p>I do ^_^</p>
