    I suppose then if anyone would pull a stunt like this, even if these people are smaller, when the bus stops, police would pull that guy out and either shoot him on the spot or drag him to the police station, beat him senseless, let the old ladies stick their umbrellas down his ass and then use him to fertelize their tomatos.

    A confused American tourist in Korea:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2wQiPcuZI4&feature=BFp&list=PL559E52A3939A740E"]Foreigner on Korean bus verbally abuses elderly couple--all over a misunderstanding. - YouTube[/ame]

    And I don't want to hear anything about blacks, some whites and hispanic Americans are exactly the same.

    I don't get it. There seemed to be a lot of people on that bus, and they all seemed offended. Why didn't they do anything?

    I'm confused. What's the point of this thread? If there were no military bases would there still be jackass Americans visiting other countries? I'd say yes. There are real reasons to close down US bases in other nations, but soldiers getting drunk and acting like retards isn't one of them. I'm assuming that's the point of this thread, though really it's hard to tell.

    US bases prevent people from being stupid in buses.

    While this guy definitely acted like an idiot, my understanding of it is that he was called a racial slur by one of the men on the bus. Many Asian countries are extremely racist.

    The US taxpayers would save trillions.

    Closing all American military bases around the world makes sense as America draws back from empire. Besides, with Prompt Global Strike America will be able to reach out and touch any one any where within one hour from low earth orbit.

    Apparently the Korean told him to please talk quieter (black guy was on the phone) and "you" in Korean is "니가(pronounced (*)(*)(*)(*)(*))". The black guy misunderstood for obvious reasons...

    The guy is kind of big, plus Americans have rights.

    All I'm trying to say is that if Koreans want to ride the bus they should learn American language and what the word (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) means

    No, but why do you think the korans are afraid to touch him? I think it has to do with power of US military aggression.

    This thread is a gigantic fail. It in no way makes any logical argument as to why we should leave any forign base. Besides, we have tried to reduce our forces there in korea and the government has asked us repeatedly to stay. We are there at.the request of the Korean government fulfilling our security treaty made with them after the Korean war.

    It would be like me posting a video of a rude korean and saying that we should ban all koreans form the us...

    Your logic is deeply flawed.

    Ummm, Americans are subject to Korean laws, including US military personal.

    You demonstrate that you have no earthly clue what you're talking about.

    The guy does make an interesting metaphor.

    He's big, but it looks like a LOT of people on that bus and many of them want to beat on him. And does he actually slap that woman? It looks like he does, but I can't tell for sure. I find it difficult to believe that five to ten guys won't at least put themselves between the crazy guy and that woman.

    Good point. while I myself also would not have wanted to get punched by a big guerilla, I am pretty sure I would have at least shielded the old lady or hit him from the back with something and hid back among the crowd or something. If I had a knife on me, I would most likely have stabbed him in the back. poor koreans, again if this was my mother, I would go to the mayor demand he gets me a million dollars for damages to my mom or else I would seek to kill Americans or foreigners in the future - YES I KNOW what I just said is completely obsurd, but I am trying to put myself in other people's shoes.

    No more rights than those Koreans on the bus.

    I witnessed a similar thing here in a cafe a couple of months ago. This American dude (white) went off his nut because he didn't quite get the coffee he asked for. It got so bad he actualy grabbed the little waitress by the shoulders and shook her. If his buddies hadn't intervened and pulled him away, he'd still be eating pork fat soup in Phong Thong jail.

    I'd say it's because Korean culture is different. BTW the SOFA (Status Of Forces Agreement) we have with Korea, lets just say the ball is pretty much in their park. Koreans have less to fear from US soldiers than US soldiers do from Koreans, unless our government decides to start being hostile to Korea (all South Korea of course, the North has a lot to fear from us should things actually happen). Seriously our troops being in other nations does not keep our tourists from getting their asses kicked.
