Tell me about teaching English in Korea, please!

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 3 Mar 07

I am thinking seriously about teaching English in Korea, where I understand some 3,000 private English schools, or hagwons, seek teachers on an ongoing basis. If any Mylotians are Korean and know of how this process works, please...

Blood sacrifices? Nothing new, it still happens today.

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 3 Mar 07

Those who might think that human sacrifice as graphically depicted in Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" are horrible should be reminded that the entirety of Christianity revolves around a human sacrifice, that of Christ. Violence remains...

Global warming: Same thing happened in the 11th century A.D.

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 3 Mar 07

Warm temperatures up north and global chaos: The 21st century is just a repeat of the 11th. A quick check shows that the year 1000 was a time of anarchy, as the Roman Empire finished its meltdown, the Catholic Church was at its...

Is caffeine the greatest of all wonder drugs? It's legal!

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 3 Mar 07

Nothing like a blast of caffeine to pick up a slow day. Coca-Cola, coffee, tea are the best sources, and coffee seems to be the best vehicle for this. I'm not sure why; other chemicals in coffee are also valuable to health. Is...

Discontinue nutritional supplement pills and see the difference!

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 3 Mar 07

Stop taking vitamins. Now! The body will simply get rid of whatever nutrients are excessive of what is really needed, but the liver can be affected if you keep taking pills every day. That is why you see so many liver-dasmage...

"Gaming" Adsense never a good idea, and PayPal rocks

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 3 Mar 07

Trying to "game" Google Adsense is unwise. Google will call you on it and ban your account and you will likely not get a second chance. Sure, you'll make a couple hundred dollars extra, but is it worth it? Getting an Adsense...

Chemo just makes you die a little slower and in more pain

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 2 Mar 07

Everyone I know who has battled cancer has gotten worse after starting chemotherapy, and died right about the same time as one would if they went untreated. Their lives before death are also a lot more painful and miserable when...

Hillary pushes "warless" world? Hey, war is a good thing!

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 2 Mar 07

So Hillary and her pals want a "warless" world. Not! Without war, ruthless dictators are never eliminated (Hitler, Mussolini, Saddam, Amin) and evil prevails over good. With war, evil can run but it can't hide, and is smoked out...

Moon turns into blood Saturday

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 2 Mar 07

News reports say that the moon will turn a "copper" color on Saturday night, but the Bible talks about the moon turning into the color of blood right before the world comes to an end. Look at what has happened, even today....

Iran can sink USS Stennis with Fox News' help

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 2 Mar 07

The aircraft carrier USS Stennis is "parked" in the Arabian Sea, Fox News reported today. That's just great. Tell Al-Qaeda on international TV where the Americans are. That way, it's easy for a rogue group or even Iran itself to...

Poisons in makeup, shampoos, creams all get into your bloodstream

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 2 Mar 07

The more makeup you use, the more poisonous substances get into your bloodstream. The chemicals in makeup and shampoos simply soak through your skin and immediately get in your bloodstream, and in many cases, stay there for a...

KFC-like rat rodeos more common than you think

One in three restaurants that has been in business more than six years has rats, folks. You just can't seen them. They tend to hide during the day and find food at night, often in the restaurant itself. They do not some out openly...

OK girls and guys, how does one define "cute?"

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 28 Feb 07

Japan has a very cool side of its culture, and it is the concept of "kawaii," which essentially means "cute." It's in all corners of Japanese culture. Kawaii is in the music, dance, architecture, everything. "Hello Kitty" is...

Do girls earn more than guys on Mylot.com?

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 28 Feb 07

I'll just say it: Yes, they do. They have to, because I'm sure not making very much. Despite a big day with all kinds of hits and responses and solid discussions, I made very little today. Yes, I am a guy (my avatar is of Asami...

Schools being used for the wrong reasons by illegals

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 28 Feb 07

Migrant-worker families care nothing about education. They use U.S. public schools to care for their kids while they work two or three jobs, 24 hours a day, seven days a week just to survive. The schools have ever-expanding...

Why aren't students more inquisitive?

Saw something interesting yesterday at a popular local buffet-style restaurant: Tables full of young people socializing. At one table was a bunch of girls. At another table across the room were guys. All looked like they were from...

Teachers leaving, retiring, and districts just don't care while kids suffer

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 28 Feb 07

Attended a few teachers' hiring "fairs" recently, and what a shock. In an environment where waves of teachers are retiring with zero young teachers coming in, the arrogance of the school districts continues to be staggering....

Reassess finances immediately, turn cash into a material gain

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 28 Feb 07

Better to buy things instead of hanging on to any cash you might have. Looks like the current market instability will be around for a while, and best thing to do is go ahead and turn cash into some type of solid object. Real...

Distorted economy, volatile stocks due to misleading money-supply reporting

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 28 Feb 07

Remember the reporting of money supplies such as "M2" and "M3" that were commonplace as of last year? "M2" is supposed to be the immediately available money supply currently in circulation. "M3" is another category of money that...
