The blatant ignorance of Korea that the members of this board seem to share makes me sick.

Well, flicking off your elders is almost an unthinkable deed in Korea. You even have to use completely different endings to your speech if you\'re addressing your elders (even if they are only a year older than you...). Kinda like Spanish, except to a much further degree. But Korea\'s changed so much, and I haven\'t been there since I was 9, so it could be different now. Anyway, Korean\'s a very small country packed with generally temperamental and gossipy people, so this kind of stuff spreads like wildfire. But this IS overreacting, even for Koreans. Surprised I haven\'t heard about it yet.
