I’ve been living immersed in South Korea for the last month with my wife and daughter.
We just leave the stroller outside if we go in anywhere.
Because no one’s going to steal it.
I met a friend for lunch. He rode his bicycle. He just left it outside in an alley without a lock.
It was still there 2 hours later.
Another friend mistakenly left his phone on a park bench. When he finally retraced his steps and went back 4 hours later, his iPhone was still there.
I walked by a KPop concert. The fans who traveled from outside of Seoul to attend just left their luggage outside the subway station. No locks. No security.
Koreans take this for granted. They don’t realize this is not normal for most the world, especially America.
When I ask about it, they just respond, “of course, why would someone take it?”
Can you imagine any of these things happening or being possible in NYC or LA or *insert city*?
And IF, something were to be stolen in Korea, the police would investigate. Because in a high trust society, rules and norms matter.
There’s no “under $1000” law.
Theft is theft.
And trust is trust.
Will this social norm ever be possible in America?
@JayJj1812@hodgetwins Sorry for your diagnosis. That sucks! But it doesn't change the fact that President Trump is fighting fascism and dictatorship as the left claims he is one. A house doesn't work against itself to succeed.
@JayJj1812@hodgetwins actually the administration said it pushed Israel hand. So there's that.
If the Iranian people don't have to lose 40,000 civilians again and beg for someone to save them, I can deal with a little upped gas prices.
@Banksy131@DigiSwQll17@PeteHegseth@BethChrist2025@POTUS Iran has been attacking Americans for years and years.
They put a hit out on American citizens on American soil.
They put a hit out on a sitting president.
They killed 40,000 of their own citizens for less than the 💩 your talking.
President Trump IS with those who came home.
@mtgreenee You've turned into quite a disappointment. What are the Iranian citizens saying?
I imagine something along the line as the Venezuela citizens.....
But alas here you are..How much did you get paid to switch your stance so quickly!
@FoxNews Yet not once have you expressed your heartache for those that have died, and suffered at the hands of those ICE is pursuing! Stfu with your fake outrage!!
@FoxNews It isn't the American people as a whole. It is a chosen and paid group who insights violence and negativity in our world.
Put those that stand with ice next to those that do not and you'll see that once again sir, you stand with the lesser of Americans! Windbag of nonsense!
BREAKING: Magistrate Judge that refused to sign off on Don Lemon's arrest warrant is married to an assistant AG in Keith Ellison's Minnesota office.
Paying attention.
@XFreeze I say we as Americans contact our HR departments and have our taxes withheld (hold on a separate account) and do not cater to these people any longer! By people I mean Democrats, Republicans that agree with Democrats, fraudsters, ect
It's time we look out for our country!
