Well, the point I was making was completely general. You on the other hand want to start a debate which I do not. Also, what I said about the vegans was an analogy and nothing more. Don't nit-pick where it doesn't need to be nit-picked.
Good day. Your point wasn't general, it was specifically saying that you think it's ridiculous to apply morals to every decision. That's a defined stance. Then you make an ill-fitting analogy, with language that obviously implies you're trying to make a point with it, and later backtrack that it's nothing more than an unrelated analogy. I'm sorry, but if I pissed on a guy's leg, then told him I was merely relieving myself and no insult was intended, somehow I doubt he would believe me. Kind of like how I'm not really buying what you're selling.
Once again. I'm not having a debate with you so drop it. I also didn't say anything was ridiculous and it wasn't at all specific. Really I don't give two shits, but you seem to be taking this personal or something. Stop dissecting my posts because I don't give a shit about this conversation or what you think about morals or even what you think I think about them. So, point I'm making is: stop quoting my posts and saying shit.

Is your post meant to be incredibly ironic? Because it is.

Okay, this thread has turned to shits. I'm bumping it in hope that Rekrul or some one else can continue posting.

I didnt finish the reading the whole article. After reading it 1/3 of it, its all the same in someway or another for most Asian country.
Really, I dont think this things effect the Korea image in me one bit. 'Cos it exist everywhere I go. In Vietnam we have somewhat the same thing, China as well.
I have to admit I love the "Room salon" the most, usually go there with some of my buddies, and yeah it makes you feel good. We all have gf but sometime we just go there to be served and believe me your gf can never obey like girls in these salon do. We dont have sex with them afterward, just there to enjoy the diffirence kind of entertainment. But trying to get them for free afterward is very FUN
Anyway, nice writeup!
we have room salon in vietnam too?
do show bro? O_O

I wish countries would do away with the hypocrisy of having prostitution illegal. Criminalizing prostitution has never stopped it from occurring. I'm glad that in NZ now prostitution has been legalized. Criminalized prostitution only drives it underground thus empowering pimps to exploit women more.

have you ever gotten the same hooker more than once?

But sometimes my clients pay for me to go to '2-cha' and it would be unprofessional to refuse.

I'm not sure how I feel about having a post like this out in the open. I know that people are aware (Rek mentions plenty of times of his nights out) but at the same time, I'm not sure if I want people to have this image of Korea to be this raunchy, underground nasty-nasty thing, complete with whores. Don't get me wrong, I know it's a part of the culture but not exactly the reputation that this country needs to get tourists. =/
Money can buy anything in this country. I know it's true in most countries too but Korea is just so blatantly immoral sometimes.
Here's a question for you, OP, why did you decide to post this on our forums at all? I believe that people reading it understand that this is only the dirty part of Korea. I could make a beautiful post about my Korean culture and all our beautiful tourist spots and foods. Maybe I'll do that next! Why did I decide to post it? Well I see blogs everywhere about people going to Korea so they may as well understand what they might possibly want to try out. I believe in the freedom of information. Yes, freedom of information, but you also realize that TL isn't the place for people to say "OMG I'm going to Korea, I'm totally gonna blow 5k dollars on a night out with beautiful women!" (Well, maybe a few guys can but most are high school/college students who are poor) And those who CAN spend that much... already have. And blogged about it. Don't assume on the internet that people will take this as "only the dirty part" of Korea. It's a part of Korea that most Koreans are not proud of, thus not really something that you need to publicly put into light. =/ Those are my 2 cents. If it's something that most Korean's aren't proud of why does the government do nothing to stop any of it? Why do almost all korean males partake in it in one way or another? If you were unaware in many areas they have police guarding the perimeter of the red light districts! It's just the way it is and me sharing this information with a gaming website isn't going to do anything other than inform. If anything, the korean way of disliking something but never having the balls to bring it out in the open is exactly why change for the better doesn't happen. Perhaps I'll run for president of Korea! O wait I'm a USA citizen damn. Perhaps this south park episode would address the issue as to why rich and powerful men want to have sex with many attractive women...
It's because money turns rich people into chimpanzees with overactive sex drives?!
And this is all due to an alien wizard living in Independence Hall?

All I'm saying is that men definately seem to be the norm in Korea. What the hell does this sentence mean? What the hell can it possibly mean? It's a very male oriented society it seems. Women are there to please Maybe you meant "women pleasing men definitely seem to be the norm in Korea (World?)." You have to understand that most of these girls do this because they choose to. Few are forced but it's hey, it's life. Sweden has really hot girls by the way. Thumbs up! Yeah I know but "forced" becomes kind of vague considering that most of us are heavily molded into who we are by society and the gender roles we assume. So if it's a "normal" thing for women to work clubs, you're choices as a woman are heavily affected by this. Same for male stuff, whatever it is. lol yes we do and these days I see alot of skirts instead of pants. yum Do you still not understand what I am trying to say...girls in clubs/night clubs don't work there. They are just regular patrons who like getting booked and having fun with guys. What is so damn sexist about that? I think you're not understanding him; he's staying true to Foucault. Consent doesn't mean something is or isn't exploitative. There's more subtle ways that people are coerced, such as a life long impression of body image or something like that. I think an example that makes sense is the average pro SC player. They're choosing to do it, because I'd imagine the allure is pretty difficult to resist if you're young and good at it, but they're still being exploited in a stressful, low paying and very restrictive job, and they might not even realize it. I think it's somewhat pretentious to tell adults that they're being manipulated or assume that they're not aware of the situation, like he's doing. It'd be better to ask what kinds of alternatives are available to women/men who don't want to do that sort of thing, and if those are widely accepted. Ok, lol. But this isn't the kind of subtle inference you make by reading a fucking forum post. To infer this level of detail about a culture you aren't part of is just retarded. ... You're a fucking dumbass, Chill. It's funny how you think I'm retarded when in fact you don't even understand what I'm talking about because you lack the knowledge needed. You're an engineer, right? I don't know shit about engineering but your behavior would be like me telling you something ridiculous, 3:rd grade kind of stupid about a subject you know alot about. Seriously, you need to drop your friggin' attitude. You talk down everyone on the forums with your one-liners thinking you're some internet god. Yeah, maybe you are on TL.net but get a clue man, you are being pretty negative pretty much all of the time the recent year or whatever. I can type whatever I want in response to a forum post as long as I keep it civil and don't break any rules. So don't YOU come here and tell me what I can and can not do. PS. Also guys, wtf my first language isn't english so I can't type my thoughts out exactly like an english-speaking person would do. Especially academic language so gimme a break :/ I've studied at university for almost 5 years now and I'm a sociology/psychology major.
User was banned for this post.
Why am I not surprised that he's a sociology major?
I think my view of that field of study has become too heavily tainted by dumbasses like this fellow here who spend all their time supposedly studying people and yet are completely unable of viewing the world from an alien perspective? [sarcasm]But of course we know he must be right about everything because he spent five years studying sociology![/sarcasm]

Hey, we're not all idiots. I'm here in Korea teaching English after graduating with a degree in sociology. All the jobs in the US sucked (sushi chef, legal assistant, chess coach--okay well, that one was awesome) and now I get paid about $2000 a month AFTER they cover my rent.
Which means I can go to all the anmas I w...
Just kidding. I haven't yet, but I've been thinking about trying it out. I feel some kind of moral obligation to not teach middle school kids and do all the fun things for guys at the same time, though. Maybe when I'm on vacation or something.

Haha it's fun you kind of say you work in that business, because you actually just sound like any regular Korean customer :D

Guy has an update about Korea.
Guy correctly posts update in an existing thread about Korea.
TL zealots incorrectly jump on it.
Chill gets annoyed sending out warnings.
