Well, are saying that drinking liquor is a sin?  Maybe he went there just to buy lotto tickets?  Actually, playing the lottery is also a sin in the Christian religion since it's a form of gambling.

Giving thanks at church but bought the ticket at the liquor store.

You can buy soda and water in most liquor stores as well.

I was an English teacher in Korea for three years and I think you're full of yourself.

 

1.  You base your generalization of Koreans and rich Koreans from an article where they explain the scandals from a couple of richbusinessmen.  Many rich businessmen around the world are the same way.

2.  Korea is very small country with only 48,000,000 people; their economy and technology is extremely well when you realize how small they are. 

3.  There are no North Koreans in the USA.  North Koreans rarely have any contact outside their country.  If there are North Koreans inthe USA, then they would be labeled as Chinese because they probably escaped North Korea, then into China.

4. You are ignorant.   I am Caucasian and the Koreans were one ofthe nicest people I have ever met in my life.  Their country is extremely modernized and clean.   Their technology and industrial power is amazing.

 I don't expect that much intelligence from some of the posters here, for obvious reason. Not many well-educated people play lotteries, let alone posting in here.

Aren't you the same guy who has been whining for two years that your dream numbers haven't come out and have contemplated suicide over it? Yet you have the nerve to put down other posters here.

Yet, you're the one who keeps making topics whining about some dream you had years ago and it not coming true, apparently believing it has foretold your "future"....

Pot, kettle, black, ect.

With odds like 1 in 175,711,536 how can I lose?!

You can't predict random.

2.  Korea is very small country with only 48,000,000 people; their economy and technology is extremely well when you realize how small they are.

4. You are ignorant.   I am Caucasian and the Koreans were one ofthe nicest people I have ever met in my life.  Their country is extremely modernized and clean.   Their technology and industrial power is amazing.

A very unsurprising response. 

First you postulate in absolute terms that "There are no North Koreans in the USA" but you don't cite any sources to back up this information. Did you conduct your own personal census of the United States? No, you haven't. And you know you can't speak with any confidence on this because you demonstrated your own doubts in this obvious opinion of yours by going on to qualify your remarks immediately by saying "If there are North Koreans in the USA..." You then make another baseless assumption saying "...then they would be labeled as Chinese..." Labeled as Chinese by whom? Themselves? The U.S. Government? The Chinese? Who would label these North Koreans as Chinese? It doesn't matter which direction they left North Korea. Again you offer no evidence to support anything you are saying. 

You claim I made generalizations but you seem to have no trouble whatsoever with voicing double standards and making your own generalizations. You didn't even seem bothered that the original poster  ambelamba made generalizations like "Heck 99% of rich Koreans made their fortune from real estate!" or how this same poster also dismissed Americans as "not really investment-saavy (sic)." Really? When people around the world talk and think about money and financial markets the name Wall Street - in the "not really investment-savvy" America - will be mentioned first and long before some backwater like Seoul is. And no, Wall Street wasn't founded by or made famous by the likes of ambelamba.

The poster ambelamba even went on to say "I don't expect that much intelligence from some of the posters here, for obvious reason. Not many well-educated people play lotteries, let alone posting in here." What sort of self-proclaimed genius is this person? If the smug  ambelamba were so well-educated and investment savvy as he/she likes to be portrayed by passing insulting comments off on other people then there would be no reason for  ambelamba to play the lottery or even make empty-headed postings on here attacking others. 

And you  SmoothJuice claim that you were a teacher and then have the nerve to call me ignorant? What a laugh! I have no doubt you felt very much at home in South Korea. You clearly were surrounded by like-minded people.
