Trying to tell a Korean you don't believe in god

(1/5) > >>

mindme:
My girlfriend and I were walking back to my place and some kinda dirty middle aged man was dogging along next to us. He said something to my GF and then kind of veered away. I asked my GF what he said. She said "he asked me if you were my sex partner." Gosh, class act. After more than two years, this was actually our first instance of a Korean male deciding to pipe up about his displeasure that one of "their" women dares date a non Korean. Now, I have no doubt that back in Canada, some Canadian whitey will eventually make some untoward remark to my Korean GF as well ("Is she your sex slave?"). Men are dicks everywhere. The words might change slightly.

But maybe in Canada a male would at least say it to my face, not bravely intimidate a woman.

Anyway, my GF was upset and we watched him walk into his crappy lower middle class cement apartment building. I pointed out to my GF that he's not only going into his apartment, he's going into his coffin. He's going to live and die in a drab box with cement walls. He's never going to live in a house, have a yard, pick fruit off the trees in his yard, eat vegetables from his own garden, live near a lake or ocean.  The only joy in his grubby life is his single day off on Sunday (many Koreans work 6 days a week) and his 4 days vacation (many companies only give Koreans 4 days off a year).

I bid him a rather cheerful goodbye as he trudged into his coffin.

Anyway, a bit closer to my apartment some Korean church was out in force. We were waiting at a light and some guy wanted me to read his English pamphlet. Usually I repeat and repeat very polite "oh no thank you, kam sa ham ni da" to these people until my light changes. But after the loser incident, I wasn't in the mood for some guy getting up in my business after I've made it clear, politely, that I simply wasn't interested.

Now I kind of looked at his brochure and saw "Elohim" on it. When I see a Christian church using that term I usually take that as a tip off these people have really swallowed some major kool aid.

Now in Korean, if someone asks for something and you don't have it, you say literally "it does not exist". "The car does not exist." Or "Cha op sa yo." "Op sa yo" being "does not exist" Right, so I decided after 3 polite rebuffs I decided to tell him to fuck off in so many words.

At first I thought about saying "devil" over and over. "Ang ma! Ang ma!" But then I pointed to my head (I don't know how to say "I think") and just kept repeating "god op sa yo" "Han nim op sa yo". He looked for a moment like "okay, I really have to save this deluded fellow" but the light changed and we moved on.

Bartmon:
Mindme,

I don't know where in Canada you are from, but I live in the most right-wing backward part of the country (Alberta), but it's still like Rio De Janero compared to the American Midwest.

Anyhow, if you were here and you ran into some real dickwad rednecks they'd be more apt to call your girlfriend a 'mail order wife'.  It's repulsive either way, but that's my take on it. I've never heard someone use the N-word or outwardly say anything about an inter-racial relationship other than what I've said above.

Bart  :wink:  :shock:

gweathers:
just be happy u dont live here we got some nuts about inter-racial relations. And i got this crazy church that keeps telling me the world is going to end and im going to hell. They keep leaving these pamphlets at my door.

IRON MAN:
Holy crap!  Where are you?  1950?

hector:
I cant read the OP without hearing the whiney voice of Holden Caulfield.
