#2 Koreans are duplicitous, its perfectly acceptable in their culture to have a public face or side one shows to the world, and a private face or hidden side nobody knows. This is the mindset. Being duplicitous is not seen as lying per se. Koreans are also ruthless and stop at nothing to get what they want. I saw many women going after married men with children in the military and these same home wreckers would cry and kick and scream when the GI went back to his wife and kids. She would go ballistic calling him a liar, even though her behavior was gutterball dishonest too. Koreans are not to be trusted, and bat shit crazy too. If I offend anyone by telling what I observed, dial 1-800-Suck-IT.

#4 Thanks. Yea, some skeptics would tell me I should get out a psychology book and analyze why Koreans are they way they are to foster international understanding, handholding, all that. I just say, they are the way they are, and they cannot be trusted.

This is from my direct observation, so if I sound xenophobic its coming from the standpoint that even South Korea is still defined as a third world country by the U.N. due to their numerous human rights violations (doozies, like wholesale, flagrant human trafficking, forced prostitution of minors, ick) So I have no illusions about the Koreas, North or South, they have some way to go in the morality department.
