If this map was including new taipei (Which it should, thats the real size of taipei) then they would be pretty even. seoul has a decently bigger population though.
I didnât say that either. Iâm assuming the countries that ban it ban it because they think it isnât good for society. A public health crisis is not good for society. Iâm not sure what the disagreement is here.
Iâm not defending porn and it can be harmful for obvious reasons. Iâm just pointing out that the countries that have the strictest limits on porn are by and large not the ones with freer societies.
Koreaâs porn ban seems strange. Theyâre not a particularly austere or repressive society when it comes to sex or anything like that. I wonder why they do it.
When my grandfather from my mothers side from Korea came to visit us when I was a kid in Taiwan in the 90s. He was surprised by all the street dogs. He asked why we didnât just catch them and eat them to solve the problem of them running around.
Thereâs a fine line between democracy and majoritarianism.
My personal consumption of the leaf and the fine art of the sexy are not in direct violation of othersâ rights. If the other people do not want to partake in these activities, a liberal society would allow them the choice.
Why not ban all vices? Whatâs the point of society if I canât do anything fun because a few things arenât healthy?
and has an even lower birth rate than Taiwan (Korea new births in 2020 = 270k; Taiwan new births in 2020 = 160k. Korea population = 51 million; Taiwan population = 23 million. You do the math)
is not a successful society. Itâs the equivalent of cleaning up well for parties while doing lines of coke in the bathroom. All they care about is the image.
Taiwan doesnât have proper tourism infrastructure in general. Hotels are absolutely dumps in prime tourist locations or extremely overpriced with bad RoI. There are hardly any good decent 3-star hotels.
Just visit hot springs in Beitou. Absolute dumps constructed 60 years ago.
Goto Tainan hualien Yilan. Either you pay >$5000 a night for a decent hotel or get a dump.
Believe it or not it used to be WAY worse.
I remember before the Chinese tourists came you couldnât find a newish hotel of any description in most places. They were smelly, smoky, old, sometimes doubling as love hotels. At least when they invested for the Chinese they built lots of cheap hotels in touristy areas. And aparthotels like you find in Taoyuan city.
At least Taiwanâs motels can be fun if you are into that.
Maybe Taiwan will caught up with Korea economically but Taiwan need better sidewalk
Looking this video itâs easy see than in Seoul the sidewalks looks better in South Korea than in Taiwan
