It's just series of unfortunate events. COVID19, coronavirus in Daegu, Korea.

I talked about it before--three days ago, Coronavirus spread in my hometown--Daegu, Korea. @ February 24, 2020

And now some strange news article popping around internet via social network, I think.

It's just series of unfortunate events.
He or she didn't know that he or she had a coronavirus. COVID19
And people in the cult knew that many Koreans tend to believe that their religion was very bad--lots of people were saying 'terrible' cult.
So they thought media and Koreans were attacking their religion. So they did things like go to hideout--what I mean is that they didn't come out sooner.
And that's how they spread virus so much, I guess.

And before last week or so, Korean government ask to list of that cult's member. And at the time, cult's organisation didn't know how serious that was.
And.... unfortunately, it was too late.

So now--finally they were come out---with virus.

COVID-19 in Korea - stats of February 21 and February 26, 2020

As you can see from the photo,
last week,
- February 20, it was 82 people.
- February 21, it was 156 people.
And then yesterday,
- February 26, it was 1,146 people.
Only 5 days were passed--above photo, it's 10 times more.

Last a few days, everyday 70 to 100+ people were found that they have COVID-19.
And most of them were related to the Sinchunji--cult and Cheongdo Daenam hospital.




The rest of people in Daeu, were fine.

I'm currently living in Daegu but I don't think I will get COVID-19. Daegu was kind of locked down city now because of that.
People were staying at home, mostly.

almost empty park after COVID19 at Daegu and taken at February 21, 2020 23:52pm.

Photo taken at February 21, 2020 23:52pm.
It was very late night but it was different than any other day--most of the time, I can see a few people even if it was late night.
And you can see very right side (across the river) which had a road and which usually lots of cars were passing through. But it was almost empty at the time.

Coronavirus spread in my hometown--Daegu, Korea.

I think this is what's happening in my home town--Daegu.

"It's unusual for respiratory diseases transmissible even before the first symptoms have occurred," he told Al Jazeera.
"But the consequences is that if it happens then they have no public health means to sort out or to identify people at risk of transmitting, because they don't even know that they're ill yet."

 - quoted from How does coronavirus spread and how can you protect yourself? @ February 20, 2020



Anyway, I'm fine--for now, I guess.

Is this good thing? Or worst to humanity--not climate change, it's climate crisis.

Yesterday, I wrote like this--twitter and facebook:

#Temperature was like this for more than a month. One of hottest city-town--#Daegu in #Korea having longest Spring. #Summer wasn't feel like Summer.

Is this good thing? Or worst to #humanity--not #climatechange, it's #climatecrisis. pic.twitter.com/zPly954cGL

Yesterday was July 12, 2019(middle of the July so it should be Summer) so temperature should be like 33+ Celsius during the daytime and 24+ Celsius during the nighttime.
But as you can see below photo,

Strange summer weather in one of hottest city--town, Daegu, in Korea.

It's not even 30 Celsius during the daytime and 20+ Celsius during the nighttime.


And today I found this from facebook memories--I also did tweet about it:

This is what it's like in the beginning of #Summer at #Daegu #Korea. It wasn't so bad though-probably humidity was unusually low.#onefineday pic.twitter.com/MHzfzKPUDU

— Seong Ara (@thinklogically) July 13, 2017

You can see the temperature.


Later it changed again though.

I like cool weather but--chill Summer(like #Autumn) for more than week now. #Summer wasn't like Summer that means #globalwarming is real. pic.twitter.com/WAV9ghndtu

Summer wasn't feel like Summer.

Is this good thing? Or worst to humanity--not climate change, it's climate crisis.



It's not climate change, it's climate crisis.

You can read more from tweets below:

Remember, tweets can easily removed by....

I have number of twitter accounts and blogs because each account had quite different topics that I'm writing about.



Are we really living in twenty first century?

My writings and tweets were quite shocking to the others which means it will be removed by force. But we were living in the twenty first century so I'm quite sure that we had freedom of speech.
Meanwhile, I had this feeling that some of my writings can be kicked out by force--someone or some organisation cleverly claim copyright issues or some political issues.

But I didn't much care because I'm not writing many things in my English blog--yet.



And I just found out that tweets that I shared were gone.

I am sharing many things in my twitter account so I didn't know how many of my tweets were gone.
And when I tried to find my previous tweet--that twitter account don't have many tweets because recently I started doing write things there, I can see "This Tweet is unavailable." message.
And I relised that retweet or attached other people's tweets were gone.



Here is the one that unavailable:

Screenshot of unavailable tweets which I tweeted at April 17, 2019

So I clicked that tweet and only see "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!" message:
Source link: https://twitter.com/SophieWarnes/status/1114114971561017344

Screenshot of unavailable tweets - page doesn't exist message.

And I'd like to know what happen to the owner of this tweets:
Source link: https://twitter.com/SophieWarnes/

Screenshot of unavailable tweet's owner account - this account doesn't exist

So I googled about Sophie Warnes and she still has other social media accounts like medium, flickr, etc.
She probably just deleted her twitter account--she works as journalist so she didn't have to delete her twitter account...don't you think?
But you should ask yourself "Why journalist wants to delete twitter account?".


So I tweeted about this:

I needed my previous tweet so I scrolled down. And I found many of my previous tweets were gone like attached photos. Not only tweet, @SophieWarnes account was gone.
I did retweeted because I will write it someday and it was gone. https://t.co/LmtBI1NU4p pic.twitter.com/Mow7Xsa7Fl

— Seong Ara (@thinklogically) June 4, 2019

Darn, I should know better. Not just previous #tweet, others, too.

I should have screenshot it and retweeted it. This is other reason you shouldn't rely on the tweets--Of course, that is the reason I am writing in the #blog though.#Remember, tweets can easily removed by.... https://t.co/NsUP5UgHHU

— Seong Ara (@thinklogically) June 4, 2019

Other re-tweeted tweet that was deleted.

I just re-tweeted tweet and original tweet was gone so I couldn't find that tweet. But luckily I did blog about it and I did find this--embedded tweets can keep the tweet like this:

other tweet that deleted - luckily I wrote in my blog.

Source link: https://twitter.com/DrisssMalek/status/1125527231500095488


So I search the same deleted video and found it - here is the video of above tweet:

Iraq invasion - I strongly suggest to watch 'Why We Fight' documentary.

My friend shared this:

If you can't see the embeded video, you can click here--Shock and awe - by Novara Media at March 20, 2019 - Facebook video
 

 

 "the war on Iraq began." No. You should write "Iraq invasion began".

So I googling about it. And found this interesting article - Why did Bush go to war in Iraq? | Iraq | Al Jazeera @ March 20, 2019 by Ahsan I Butt.
Author quoted interesting writing so I am quoting, too:

In a 2002 column, Jonah Goldberg coined the "Ledeen Doctrine", named after neoconservative historian Michael Ledeen. The "doctrine" states: "Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business."

I was interested because I know USA kept attacking other country.
I wrote this before - USA has banned 7 Muslim countries which USA is currently bombing 5 of them and.... @ January 29, 2017


If you wanted to know the reason--probably just one part though, I strongly suggest to watch 'Why We Fight' documentary.

There has interesting story, too. So I'm quoting about it:
quoted from Why We Fight (2005 film) - Wikipedia

The producer's list included "more than a dozen organizations, from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to the United Kingdom's BBC, Estonia's ETV and numerous European broadcasters" but no U.S. names.
....
Writer and director Jarecki said "serious examination of Eisenhower and the aftermath of his speech proved 'too radical' for potential American funders for his film" and except for Sundance, he "could not raise a dollar in the U.S."

I found other interesting idea from Why We Fight official website (sonyclassics.com) - Q&A with Eugene Jarecki - About the film
Quoted from Q&A with Eugene Jarecki:

Why do you think we are fighting in Iraq?
Many reasons. There have been so many reasons given for why we are in Iraq - from WMDs to oil, from a democratic crusade to the desire by influential geostrategists to reassert American global power in the wake of 9/11. None of these answers alone is comprehensive. Rather, I think they're all partially true. The war seems to have been of shared service to a range of interests - a coming together of imperial thinkers, global petroleum concerns, and a culture of militarism that tilts toward/requires war to self-perpetuate. After 9/11 all of these came together to create the almost unexplainable momentum that pushed the country to war.

Men+guns or Toddlers+guns...Everything is about blame game in USA.

Previously, I wrote this - It's about Men + violence. If so, must be about Toddler + violence? Wrong idea about gender equality issue. @ October 6, 2017

This tweet probably slightly different than previous tweet. But it has same purpose--trying to point out the gender equality issue. So it was same thing.

Either guns are the problem or men are, and we're getting rid of one, so, what's it gonna be?

— Ally Maynard (@missmayn) November 9, 2018

Here is what I wrote--retweeted about it:

Those embeded tweet won't searchable text so I will write in text form:

This is merica..you don't need to inspire by music video....

I wrote this at my facebook timeline.

I didn't read but here is the link of news:
New York City Had Its First Weekend Without A Shooting In 25 Years : NPR

This is America...not some fantasy world...it's a real life.
You don't need to inspire by music video...think hard about the title. I didn't read because I don't need to.
You have to celebrate--big fuss about...for not killing each other.
Almost all other country--any city, don't need celebrate for that matter. Because everyday, we don't kill each other---for no reason.

quoted from my facebook timeline.

It's about Men + violence. If so, must be about Toddler + violence? Wrong idea about gender equality issue.

I saw this tweet:

Women have high rates of mental illness but women are almost never mass shooters. This isn't about mental illness. Its about Men + violence.

— J. M. Black (@johannamayblack) October 2, 2017

And I felt 'it wasn't bad thought' but I don't think it can help gender equality issue or can help reduce gun violence in USA.


So I will simply prove 'why that is':

Fact: Toddlers Killed More Americans than Terrorists in 2015.

That facts are true. So base on the fact, I can say that it's about toddler + violence.

So does make sense to you?


So how it will help gender equality issue? And how it can reduce gun violence in USA?

Illogical idea ruled internet--especially social networking sites.

When I login to tumblr, I saw below post as today's blog:

screenshot of (@tyleroakley) tumblr's post

The Weeknd Hair tweeted - "if you cheat on ya girl once a month thats only 12/365 days..you still 97% faithful. That's an A+"

Thanksgiving Kirkey tweeted - "Actually, if you ever read the syllabus, getting caught cheating results in an automatic 0%"

Three hundred twenty six thousands and six hundred nine people are shared--reblogged or liked this post or reacted this post.



If you think that is good excuse or funny, I will ask this:
So you are saying your are soooo handsome and cool guy that you can hook up a girl in a second? And make romantic involvement in a day?
And you are saying you are staying--not going to work or even go work with her?--with your girlfriend for 24 hours a day and 365 days a year? And you are saying you think about her every moment for 365 days a year?
* Are you Korean? Not whole Korean couples do but many, probably young couples do video call(or voice call) for long hours. Some of them even turn on video call during their work.

If that’s the case, you can say one day(not once, exact amount for one day) a month cheating on her for one year should 12/365 days. If not, you have completely wrong idea about real life.

And don’t think about some illogical way to excuse yourself for do some bad things.

And stop reading those gibberish ideas from internet--especially social networking sites. And stop thinking that those gibberish and rubbish ideas are funny.



#illogicalruletheinternet #socialnetworkdestroyinglogicalthinking
#illogical #illogicalidea #badthings #excuseyourself #hookupagirlinasec #romanticinvolvement




P.S. See. Those gibberish and rubbish ideas became extremely famous. But so many good ideas or very important things like society and political issues, people made them to shut up--those are very negative things they said.
I remember a few weeks or a month ago, so many people talked about Trump's wrongdoing. But now they all--even I can call it completely shut up in social media. He was doing same thing but social media, especially people shut up about it because people saying they were sooo upset to see negative things.
People became more and more mindless.. Of course, that's why Zombie movies and Zombie TV shows are soooo popular.


P.S. Slightly different but almost same story - This is the reality---how Apple fanboy dominated this world. - Reality of web storage service. @ March 29, 2017 - my other blog.

Gangnam subway station, so much space for making money, so little space for the people--toilet

This is Sinbundang line's Gangnam subway station.
You have to wait for the using the toilet because very small toilet and this area was one of busiest and crowded area in Seoul.

Compare to the toilet, as you can see the photo that huge public area and those places were filled up with huge advertisement--screen.





Korean version 한글 - 비싼 신분당선. 비싼 땅속 강남땅. 그래서 화장실은 줄서서 이용. @ March 3, 2017




P.S. This can be one example about the capitalism. Here they think about 'money comes first' so they don't think about anything else. Only put more place for the making money.
Who spent money there? Who was watching those advertisement? People, right?
So if you want to make people to spend money, you have to make convenient and comfortable place for the people.

Why I wrote this blog post, you think? Because they thought about 'making money only, nothing else'.

Simply I can put this as bad product. Do you think bad product can make good profit?
If you think that, I don't have anything say to you. Stop reading my writings please.

It's not capitalism problem. More and more people are only focusing on the money.

Terrorism facts are there. But nobody believe or can see that.

This is my initial thought on this:

Figure was there probably 10+ years. But strangely nobody knew about it.

It was very strange. Because whenever some mass shooting(or similar thing) was happening in United States of America, I am hearing it's terrorist attack--probably all the time.
I don't really read any newspaper or news websites but I still get the news from my facebook or twitter timeline.
Also I can see so many blame going on toward to Muslim.


But once in a while, I saw this kind of post:

This is actually nothing new because it probably has been there after 9/11.
Here is the other one that I've seen it before--at least, a few years ago.

src: BBC News - Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence @ 5 January 2016

Source: Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News @ 5 January 2016

Those stats were all came from government so it was very reliable source.

I can't remember when I've seen similar one before. (I'm not digging up this time.) But every year government release that stats so I can guess--probably exist around 2012 or 2013.


More recent one you can easily find in CNN website:

This is tweet from CNN:

Gun violence was almost 1,000+ times more but they don't seem to bother....

1,000+ times more were exclude year 2001 stats. Include year 2001--it became 100+ times more.

BBC news said like this:

According to figures from the US Department of Justice and the Council on Foreign Affairs, 11,385 people died on average annually in firearm incidents in the US between 2001 and 2011.
In the same period, an average of 517 people were killed annually in terror-related incidents. Removing 2001, when 9/11 occurred, from the calculation produces an annual average of just 31.
quote from Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News @ 5 January 2016

And you can read BBC's article--Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News @ 5 January 2016, which you can find about the statistics behind violence--such as mass shootings, school shootings, homicide rate, etc.

So above figure prove this statement was right:

Gun violence and terrorism: The US spends more than a trillion dollars per year defending itself against terrorism, which kills a tiny fraction of the number of people killed by ordinary gun crime.
quote from Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News @ 5 January 2016

Gun violence stats

If you do google search about gun violence, you can get this kind of result:

How many people are killed each year by guns?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2013, there were 73,505 nonfatal firearm injuries (23.23 per 100,000 U.S. citizens); 11,208 homicides (3.5 per 100,000); 21,175 suicides; 505 deaths due to accidental/negligent discharge of a firearm; and 2818 deaths due to firearms-use with "undetermined ...

you can go Gun Violence Archive website and see it yourself.

And you can see year summary from Past Summary Ledgers in Gun Violence Archive website.

Now is year 2017 and one month was passed. As you can see their homepage--incidents were more than five thousands already.

screenshot of Gun Violence Archive website.

So you think those people were all killed by terrorist--Muslim?



I will keep this screenshot of past year's stats--for just in case.

https://twitter.com/MelissaStetten/status/825928110130421760

So I re-tweeted with this:

If government won't listen people, what they do?

I wrote those yesterday afternoon. And I'd like to write about it so I was checking the source--tweet. But twitter said unavailable.

And I found that @aubrey_huff deleted tweet: Exclusive: Ex-Giants slugger Aubrey Huff apologizes for Twitter rant that began with pro-Trump tweet @ January 30, 2017.


I think it was lucky that I copied whole thing.


Anyway, march, protest and riot were part of democratic act, you know.
You probably don't believe riot wasn't democratic act but it is. Think about this: If president do things like dictator or king, people will go crazy, right? So if that happens, what angry(crazy) people will do, you think?

USA has banned 7 Muslim countries which USA is currently bombing 5 of them and....

One of my friend share this post from Muslims Are Not Terrorists facebook page:

screenshot from Muslims Are Not Terrorists facebook page

USA has banned 7 Muslim countries which includes Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Sudan and Somalia.
USA is currently bombing 5 of them and killed more than 1 million of them.

I was surprised. I probably can see those countries but I'm not sure about the figure. So I did some digging--not much though.

It looked like hard to find exact figure--I did very simple googling so I couldn't find, maybe.
Even if it was there nobody can tell exact figure because bombing--invasion is still going on.

But one thing I can say is those figure could be probably right because America dropped 26,171 bombs in 7 countries--it's not recent 4 to 5 years figure. Just last year alone--2016.

• Scary Fact: America Dropped 26,171 Bombs in 7 Countries in 2016 by Micah Zenko, Jennifer Wilson @ January 6, 2017
• How Many Bombs Did the United States Drop in 2016? @ January 5, 2017

• U.S. Dropped 23,144 Bombs on Muslim-Majority Countries in 2015 by Adam Johnson @ January 10, 2016

If you dropped a bomb, do you think it was perfectly possible with zero civilian casualty? Of course, it was always possible in Hollywood movie.
If you think that, I don't have anything to say to you. Don't read my writings please.

Not just 10 or 20.
Or 100 or 1,000 bombs.
It's 26,171 bombs in 2016.

In 2015, 23,144 bombs.

That's why I wrote this before: If your society isn't so barbaric, how come your country always attacking other country? @ December 24, 2013

And this:

misconception about other country – story continue from The Image Hollywood Created of Africa @ December 5, 2015

Don't complain they are in dictatorship or inequality issue. You have your own inequality issue and dictatorship–through media brainwashed people and control them. You can't solve your country’s problem but you can solve other country's problem???
That's why you are brainwashed by media.

So 'invasion', we called 'war'.

If you are serious thinker, you should read this:

misconception about other country – story continue from The Image Hollywood Created of Africa

Originally I wrote this in my wordpress blog at December 5, 2015.
I moved to that wordpress blog because strange Koreans who read my Korean blogs(about learn English properly and other things) came to this blog for complain about my English--because Korea's English education systems are completely corrupted.

Now I am thinking about getting back here to continue. So I will write here.

article from The Image Hollywood Created of Africa | Films For Action


Part of reason is this: Majority people never even been to other country or they never meet people from other country. So they have no idea what it's like living in another world–another country. But media and some stupid propaganda making this huge misconception–that some country's people are inhuman or even call them as 'evil'.

Cultural differences became some kind of demonized act. These things, some political leader and media take advantage of it–no, unfortunately these people also brainwashed by media. So they think other country or other culture are evil so they have to destroy–correct them.

Don't complain they are in dictatorship or inequality issue. You have your own inequality issue and dictatorship–through media brainwashed people and control them. You can't solve your country's problem but you can solve other country's problem???
That’s why you are brainwashed by media.

So 'invasion', we called 'war'.





P.S. A few other factors:
– Travelling to other country doesn't mean understand other country's culture–some people know very little about other culture but they said they knew everything.
– Simple fact, media (and government agency) keep reporting that it's dangerous to travel some country. Think about the other side, if that country is so dangerous, how people live there? Have you ever even thought about this? We are all human being, after all. They are not evil, you know.
– Think about this. Do you think people will even read this? Just unknown guy's talk, why do people even bother, right?
And do you think people believe what I said? Or people will believe what newspaper, TV and magazine said.
Whatever it is, in the end, people will listen and believe (even follow them) what famous newspaper, magazine, TV said.
Unfortunately, that is the fact.

And this misunderstanding, misconception will continue.

If your society isn't so barbaric, how come your country always attacking other country?

Originally I wrote this in my wordpress blog at December 24, 2013.
I moved to that wordpress blog because strange Koreans who read my Korean blogs(about learn English properly and other things) came to this blog for complain about my English--because Korea's English education systems are completely corrupted.

Now I am thinking about getting back here to continue. So I will write here.


Don't get me wrong. I am not big fan of some of Muslim's practice like women must wear hijab and other dress code and etc. (I actually don't like it but at least I am respecting their choices.)
And you can argue or discuss about it also fine. But if you talking like that kind of practice is pure barbaric thing to do, that's seriously wrong with your society. (Should I talk about how barbaric western's Catholic is? Try to research what Pope or priest done things. You can't solve the your problem but you are so right to attacking other religion?)

(Of course, that's how media brainwashed to the people with tagline 'Muslim is Evil'. And start invasion.)

So if your society isn't so barbaric, how come your country always attacking other country?
This world became more more pathetic.

I wrote this because I heard when someone describe about the practice with so much hatred in it and surprisingly talk show's host completely agree on that–It means their producer and people and their channel agree that it is right to hate the Muslim, isn't it?



I wrote this at 8:42pm 12 December 2013 in my facebook account here.



P.S. Many of western media attacking Muslim. And then so deceivingly put slogan like 'world peace'. Are you kidding me?

Of course, most problem is people fell for it.

My english got worse and worse.

I came back to Korea around end of November 2007 so I haven't been speaking or writing English almost 3 years now. Yes, sometimes, I spoke English but not for long.
And my writing English skill wasn't good at all. Truthfully, it was really bad.

Now I really need something to write in English and my horrible written English makes me crazy. :-(
I did thought about recording it or make video but my English was horrible so I couldn't afford to do that, either.

Oh, maybe you don't understand what rubbish I am talking about. so here is one of good example. I couldn't even spell out "suffering" so I have to find out from dictionary. :-(

Darn. I'm seriously hoping that there has real English town in Korea so I could go there and practice my English again.

I am really missing the Cameron Highland in Malaysia. Because that is my favourite place for writing. You can look at some photo from here

My reading novel in Korean also quite same as that one. I mean it wasn't that much.

wild duck family made home at Sinchundunchi, Daegu

They were staying between Suseong-gyo and Dongsin-gyo. Korean word 'Gyo' is bridge and Korean word for step-stone bridge is 'Jinggeumdari'.

When Daegu city government were building the jinggeumdari, I did notice that wild duck family staying same place most of time.

So I took the photo of them with my Nokia 6210s phone camera.

#1 I think they were staying there quite sometime now. I have no idea how long they were there because they looked same to me.

26th August 2009

night shot of wild duck family at Sinchundunchi, Daegu #2

8th September 2009
They were staying same place at night.

Below photos were taken at 18th September, 2009.

#3 Cubs are playing around but mother duck(I don't know whether it is female or not.) doesn't much moving around.


#4


#5 Mostly she staying there for long time.


#6 Some kids wanted to feed wild duck. That's why they were looking at the same direction.


#7 Finally, she will trying to follow her baby.



p.s. My original writing is here in Korean.

p.s. I couldn't see them anymore. They probably were heading to the south for staying at warm weather. They were left there at first October.

I was so happy to buy Nokia 6210s but…

I wrote about the phone at twitter.com.

I can't keep up with too much techie style of Korean mobile phone. So I ordered Nokia 6210s. http://bit.ly/d0X7J

10:55 AM Jul 20th from bit.ly



It can't play the video. And camera only show it in black screen so I have to send back to internet shopping mall for repair. :-(


I took the photo near my home by Nokia 6210s with geo tagging which is tag for map.
So you can see the photo with where I took it.-You have to check out from photo's hyperlink.






about the Nokia's enter the Korea's cell-phone market

I wrote about that in ovi.com.

near Sincheongyo Daegu, Korea @ 7/26/2009

I took the photo for testing by Nokia 6210s which name is same as Nokia 6210 Navigator.
But my phone's camera doesn't show any image just plain black so I have to request for change the phone from seller.

You see. Nokia said that they want to succeed in Korea but a lots of Nokia 6210s seems to be broken down so who wanted to buy it? Do some work properly, Nokia.
People complain about the small manufacturing problems but real problem is Nokia 6210s' firmware which included Korean version. Because my phone's camera was work a few times after the using the Nokia Software Updater program.
You see the problem?
And video player doesn't showing the video, too. But it can only play the music. So it was problem with full screen control.

Anyway, I hope that Nokia do better on Korea's cell-phone market.

This is what makes me crazy.

This is what I wrote in my twitter.

25 minutes ago from bit.ly

Wikipedia explain that http://bit.ly/Z1bdS FSM is the deity of the parody religion.But certainly that was wrong because that's >>

25 minutes ago from bit.ly

>> against freedom of religion.This is why US's education system was collapsed and people are having more stupidity. It wasn't funny. RAmen!

Actually, I don't know anything about US's education system so it was false statement and other things too. More precisely they need more evidence and I will write it some day. Because I am quite busy for writing in Korean about this.

But why I wrote that statement because I know the Korean's education system very well which is mix of US's and Japan's education system. And especially religion thing was very like US but different way.

Now I found this twitter's message

17 minutes ago from bit.ly

forsafety This is happening in Korea.Priest who was helping the protest people, attacked by police. http://bit.ly/19VBiU

so I have to write about in Korean.
