A misguided view of Singapore

Looking for pacts

A particular dialogue protocol is carried out with other political forces in the design of strategies to manage a territory or to be in opposition. This is a way to response their ideological and programmatic approaches.

With regard to an editorial titled "Troubling Snapshot of Average Korean Teenager" dated May 5, 2013, I agree with your opinion that many teenagers come face to face with serious issues. I specially agree with your view concerning teenage suicide.

Russia's ban on gay propaganda

I commend Russia for banning all gay propaganda at the Sochi games. The elevation of perversion to the level of a fundamental value that has to be nurtured and nourished and promoted is absolutely sick.

Open letter from Russian Embassy

The Russian Embassy in Seoul was upset by the publication of plainly anti-Russian article (“Georgia accuses Russia of violating sovereignty,” Aug. 8, 2013) in such a respectable newspaper as “The Korea Times,” which was derived from Georgian propaganda sources, which notoriously try to accuse Russia of violating sovereignty of that country.

Consider other ways of teaching

The negative reactions to English classes in Korea documented in “What English means for children” (July 22) are not limited to Korea. They are found everywhere in the world where traditional methods are used, methods that are painful and not supported by any research.
