You Lucky Dog!

I have been thinking of dogs, how Koreans eat dogs(especially in the summertime) and how I don't like that one bit.
My Korean guy told me that the Jindoo dog------->
is the only type of dog that is not allowed to be eaten, since it's their "national dog". The Jindoo is suppose to "be the smartest and the most loyal dog to their master"(yes, that explains the personality of most dogs, don't ya think).
In Korea, I was shown the Dog Meat Restaurants and their signage. I didn't feel remotely impressed.

I have heard that the way inwhich the dgos are "killed" in Korea is very far from humane and actually quite evil.
Who could kill a dog by violently beating it? Dogs are cool, their eyes show emotions and they like people...they are our friends.

My Korean guy is from a very poor family. He said that he had a pet dog once when he was young. He loved having a pet dog and it was his best friend. One night, he came home from school and couldn't find the dog. He then found out that the meal sitting before him was his beloved pet.
No wonder this guy has serious issues.

I was told that beating the dog to death makes it tender and better for "a man's stamina" because of the adrenaline released.

Seems like a load of shit to me.

Yeah Flint what's with the Korean excuses for men and their sexuality? Give us a break!
What about ethics and kindness towards living things rather than continuously pursuing what will increase THEIR sexual satisfaction?
What about all the Buddist history of that country? Why has compassion and respect for living creatures taken a back seat in modern Korean society?

I have heard of umpteen foods that are good for ?men's stamina" but never any for women's.

Quite right, Flint. It seems that there is a strange absense of any concern about the sexual satisfacation of women in Korean.
I have seen a lot of articles about sex in Korean women's magazines, but I can't read Korean yet, so I dont know where their viewpoint is at.

It isn't surprising that Korean men are rated the world's worst lovers...it was an opinion pole by one of the pharaceudical companies. It basically said that Korean men have little concern for the sexual satisfaction of thier female partner.
