Sex Attackers Welcome Reassertion of Legal Protection

The Korean Association of Sex Attackers (KASA) - an umbrella organization which represents the large number of rapists, child molesters and casual sex assailants who practice their profession in Korea, have welcomed a court ruling yesterday which reasserts their legal protection.

In the case, the Seoul Central District Court sentenced a 50-year-old bus driver to six months in jail – suspended for two years – after he injured a male student who had been busy conducting a sex attack in his vehicle. The driver managed to stop the attack – the second the student had been involved in on the bus – but the student's eye was injured in the process. KASA said that the driver had abandoned his duty of driving the vehicle and hadn’t even let the student finish his sex attack before talking to him.

After the ruling, which KASA welcomed, a spokesman for the group told reporters at a press conference “Our members work in a difficult profession, sometimes at the same time as trying to hold down other jobs, and while they prefer to pursue their art in privacy, sometimes they have to conduct it in the public spotlight, which can be incredibly traumatizing for them. Recently some individuals have tried to interfere in our members’ activities and infringe on their human rights – we hope this case sends a powerful message that rape and sexual assaults are not a serious issue and other people should mind their own business when our members are conducting them.”

In recent months KASA had come under pressure on a variety of fronts. In October, a woman, who rules prevent from being a member of the male-only group, was accused of having sex with a 15-year-old student – shocking Korea’s misogynist establishment and leading to open questioning of whether sex with children over the age of 13 should be made illegal to prevent women from indulging in the previously male-dominated pastime. Then, some foreign sex attackers - who are treated more harshly than Korean men under the Korean legal system - called for KASA to open up its membership to non-Koreans so they can be afforded the same legal protections, but KASA refused. At the same time, KASA accused the Government of consistently and deliberately under-reporting the number of attacks its members conduct, making it difficult for the group to gain greater official recognition. The group was also angered when last year's Seoul Rape Festival was canceled at short notice after some shocked tourists were seen taking photographs of the signs.

In some court cases KASA says, sex attacks have even been called by their official dictionary definitions of assaults, molestations and rapes, negative language which the group believes can unfairly stigmatize its members and prejudice their legal cases. KASA welcomed not just the outcome of the legal ruling on Sunday, but also the wording, which accused the bus driver of stopping the male student “from making a scene”. The group prefers to characterize the actions of its members as ‘scenes’, ‘incidents’ or ‘happenings’ rather than ‘violations’ or ‘rapes’, and has accused some non-KASA members in the legal profession of deliberately using emotive language to portray them less positively.

Until the case on Sunday, the last legal victory for Korean rapists had come in May last year, when Seoul High Court cleared a man who had taken a woman's t-shirt after he broke into her home and attacked her. The Court ruled that when a man rapes a woman and is given something by her afterwards when he asks for it, it isn't theft if there is no threat involved. At the time KASA argued that "rape would be a very poorly paid occupation in Korea if our members were not legally able to obtain money and other items from the female participant afterwards."

But the successful case this week was the second win for the Korean Association of Sex Attackers in a week. On January 7th a judge in Seoul Southern District Court's 12th Criminal Division ordered a 58-year-old teacher – who had previous convictions for sexually attacking children - to pay a 5 million won fine after he was found guilty of molesting a 14-year-old girl in a store. In that case the judge said that while the lasting mental trauma caused to the victim was “not good”, the teacher’s decision to take early retirement following the hearing was “commendable” and unlike in the later bus-driver 'Good Samaritan' case he declined to impose a jail sentence. KASA’s official policy is to oppose prison terms for its members while accepting the need to pay fines and compensation on occasion. “This is just like paying for sex and makes those who unfairly try to prosecute our members look like whores, which is how our members - both within and outside the legal profession - and some other men in Korean society see them anyway.”

Hyundai is Preferred Bidder for Bankrupt Hyundai

Hyundai was designated as the preferred bidder for the bankrupt Hyundai on Friday. At a shareholders meeting held in downtown Seoul, eight major creditors approved a proposal to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to sell Hyundai to Hyundai. It was reported that the proposal was passed with 98.53% of the votes.

It is expected that creditors will sign the MOU before January 15th. Hyundai is expected to then conduct due diligence on Hyundai for about four or five weeks, since it isn’t familiar with the business, before signing a binding contract with creditors.

The situation followed a court ruling on Tuesday which supported the creditors’ cancellation of the MOU with Hyundai, the bidding rival of Hyundai. In November, Hyundai was picked as the preferred bidder to to take over Hyundai – creditors however scrapped the contract after doubts were raised over Hyundai’s ability to fund the purchase of bankrupt Hyundai.

Despite the ruling, there is a possibility that Hyundai will file a series of lawsuits against the creditors of Hyundai to prevent Hyundai signing the new MOU with Hyundai.

K-Logic Stuns Math and Philosophy World

The worlds of math and philosophy have been stunned this week by the publishing of an academic paper unveiling an entirely new method of logical deduction. The new method, which has been termed 'K-Logic' - short for 'Korean Logic', by its authors, Professors Kim (62), Kim (61) and Kim (59) from Korea International University, differs radically from classical Greek derived logic which has long provided the foundation of questionable Western thought.

Traditional logic is generally broken down into the processes of inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning draws general conclusions from specific examples, whereas deductive reasoning draws logical conclusions from definitions and axioms. Through a process of analysis and evaluation of what has already occurred something can then be said to be logically true or false. The paradigm shift in K-Logic is that it eschews historical analysis, instead drawing upon the work of Schrödinger and quantum theory to propose that if something is said to be true then it is true, or it will become true, at least in the Korean universe where the experimentation - which used puppies instead of cats - has taken place.

Once satisfied with their experimental results, the authors tested K-Logic against real world situations by carefully observing media stories and even conversations between individuals in volunteer groups. The results have been remarkable. While they have yet to be verified by peer review, K-Logic already appears to have proven that fan death really exists, kimchi cures cancer, native English teachers are all sex offenders and Dokdo is Korean territory.

But what is really remarkable about K-Logic is that just by creating the theory in Korea, by its own existence it automatically becomes fact, so while peer review is still pending, it is only an academic formality since it must be true - especially if reported on by the media. While the experimental results are technical, it has proven - since truth is rendered by mere opinion and hearsay - that the more widely something is said to be true, the more true it becomes. This means K-Logic can not be logically challenged, especially since if K-Logic were not correct it would logically infer that Dokdo is not Korean territory which it clearly, factually, is.

While more research will be done, the results also show that the kind of unstructured individualistic and seemingly random thought which so-called 'progressives' and 'liberals' support, can often contradict K-Logic, and therefore are counter-factual and anti-society. The authors of the paper say that people such as this, who are unable to properly process K-Logic thought, probably require psychiatric evaluation.

Some in Korea have said that the work is derivative, since all it proves is what Koreans knew anyway. But the Government, which sponsored the research and provided the puppies, is said to be very pleased with the results. The Ministry of Truth, which has long struggled with the question of how to teach Korean common sense as an academic discipline in schools, now says it has the scientific basis for teaching children how America was discovered by Koreans, and why the Japanese are an inferior nation.

There is also some doubt in academic circles that the work is entirely original however, with one American professor even directly accusing the authors of having plagiarized the work of Fox News and Joseph Goebbels, et al.
