South Korea #1 OECD Suicide Leader

[Fatboxingfan]

What a spiritually sick place. Totally devoid of spirituality. Only just obsessive materialism.

Says the Frenchman who moved to America. A place where if you add up the opiates, alcohol and guns probably has a far higher suicide rate. The man who drinks himself to death is still killing himself as is the person who becomes obese eating himself to death.

I guess America has never had a Scott Weiland, Kurt Cobain, Monroe, or even an ahem....Jeffrey Epstein either.

Apples and oranges. Suicide happens. Dog meat and now suicide? One would think you are developing an interest in one place above others. Every country has its good and bad.

You'rs wrong. Too close to the evil to the smelling it's.

bottom line is those who obsess about money and their financial futures and obsess over their 401k and retirement plans and try to be frugal for their entire lives meet this fate whereas those who spend abundantly from the abundance that Allah has blessed them with are the true free spirits and the thought of suicide will never cross their minds.

Excuse my language here Mr Frenchie, but you are talking like an idiot. You started a thread talking about a girl who killed herself and yet listen to yourself above. Hara was in an abusive relationship where her partner recorded her secretly, he attempted to blackmail her, and then found himself criminalized. That puts a lot of stress on a person. It has fuck all to do with pension plans. She made the wrong decision to kill herself IMO, but many people do kill themselves be it the writer who blows his brains out or drinks himself to death. It often has little to do with pension plans, but the life is suffering difficulties that can set upon a person. It happens.

"Fake on the outside and rotten on the inside" = Mr Frenchie pretending to care about something he does not.

That sounds like a very sick society to me that her partner would do that to her and that she would react in that manner

Thank you for confirming how freaky and unnatural that society is, and that's before even mentioning plastic surgery

don't be so disingenuous. The pension plan comment is about that high pressure South Korean society trying to force all their children to get into the top three universities so they can all be really rich and white-collar executives.

In 1993 I had the opportunity to visit South Korea for about 3 weeks. Many many parents told me that they would never ever accept that their children become bakers or mechanics or own a car wash things of that nature in the blue-collar category. They all thought their children would be MBA executives okay? that is unsustainable pie-in-the-sky nonsense. Sick people when a baker or a barber is considered embarrassing to be

You are a compulsive liar. My brother in law is an independent baker running his own operation and does very well. He employs 3 other people and has invested well. Many people encourage their children to go into cuisine and baking and I actually teach a group learning that very trade. I don't think anyone has considered it embarrassing. My sister in law is likewise a hair stylist and once you have your own little set up going on, it pays well too. I am not sure you really saw very much reality in your '3 weeks' as these ideas exist mostly in your head and these trades can pay very well. The jobs people do tend to be the same kind of jobs people do in any developed country and most people are not exactly killing themselves.

Worry more about your own life rather than some Kpop singer that you didn't even know existed until the last 24 hours.

You seem to ignore the RKelly and Wacko Jacko types of your new found culture and they are just the famous ones.

And as for competition to achieve, that is the same in any society. What on earth to do you think Ivy League or Cambridge and Oxford are all about?

This thread is a troll one. Have a good day, Frenchie. Go and eat some horse.

But the lack of thought about these things is often WHY old people kill themselves.

[Fatboxingfan]

Huh! 🧟

I have read that these children are manufactured by the industry from a young age and locked away to rehearse for years before being launched to the public of South Korea.

They have to get plastic surgery done on them and are tied to strict contracts where they have to pay back the money invested in them before making of their own. This has been going on for years and the exploitation needs exposing.

[Fatboxingfan]

Exactly. This needs to be exposed. Like the mental health issues in South Korea too. It is TABOO there to even MENTION the word psychiatrist.

This is untrue too. There are mental clinics scattered around every city and every major hospital will have a psychiatry department and as you pass on the way to your own area find it is often pretty packed as you glance in. I do that as it is an area I find fascinating.

I know a plant manager who regularly consults with a clinic following a few issues with stress and panic. He talks quite freely about it and is someone responsible for many others who all know about it. He doesn't seem to find it very taboo. You are a generation out of date fats.

This is a terrible thing and I consider the industry an exploitative one. It isn't so much about paying back what you borrowed, it is the parents who allow it and the industry that makes harsh demands. Kids should not be pushed into it and deluded into thinking it is amazing. It is tough, degrading, and cruel.
