<p>There’s a difference between being culturally brainwashed and being open-minded about Korean culture. Sure, you say Korea’s not your country any more. Good for you. That doesn’t mean you have the right to go off and generalize about Koreans’ independent thinking. Yes, Korea has its share of problems, as does America. Boolean and Alt_F4 aren’t criticizing America’s (absence of) a universal healthcare system and American corporations whose greed (which you could argue displays a lack of rational thinking, but thats not the point) has caused them to implode and need millions of dollars of government bail out money - I don’t see why you should attack various aspects of Korea’s culture. Like you said, look after your own welfare - conscription’s not going to hurt you, is it? So it’s of no concern to you. Agree to disagree and get over it.</p>
