In a lecture at a high school in 2012, a candidate for Justice Minister Park Bum-gye, who was suspicious of making inappropriate remarks, expressed his position that “the contents of the lecture were distorted.”
On the 14th, at 7 p.m. on the 14th, the personnel hearing preparation team announced this by attaching a text message to reporters and 90 pages of a world-class best-selling book called’What is Justice’ by Professor Michael Sendel at Harvard University.
The preparation team said, “The’helmet’ and’prostitution’ mentioned in the lecture are quoted from the claims of libertarianism (helmet, prostitution, taxation) aiming for the least state presented in Michael Sandel’s book.” The first question, everyone, let’s think about it. I’m a liberal, and even though I led the conversation under the assumption that I was a liberal, only some of the phrases were cut out and the press reported.”
He added, “Even though candidate Park said, “It’s illegal. You shouldn’t go,” he added that some reports distorted the contents of the lecture.
In the book presented by the preparations, “the libertarians claim that even if the act of riding a motorcycle without a helmet is reckless,” “such laws violate the individual’s right to decide what risks to take.” It contains content such as “I do not have the right to say this or that with respect to my life.”
On this day, Congressman Jo Su-jin, referring to a YouTube video that gave a lecture at Chungnam High School when Park was the first member of the election in 2012, he pointed out, “It is questionable whether it will be a good education for children.”
Rep. Cho said, “Regarding to the fact that Candidate Park withdrew from school in a situation where he would be expelled due to a defeat in high school, he introduced that in his’Autobiography for the General Election’ that a friend of the circle was slaughtered by another circle and there was a battle.” In a special lecture, he pointed out to a classmate who smoked when he was in the second year of junior high school, and was slaughtered, and he made a circle called’Jonathan the Seagull’ and took revenge on his friends.”
In the lecture, “Candidate Park said,’When I was a guard guarding the arsenal at a police box in Bucheon for defense, I was armed with a helmet and studied in front of a lamp, but I was hit by the policeman.’ “Would you like to be a judge or a prosecutor?” he said and said, “Will you be a judge?”
According to the’Park Beomgye TV’ channel where the video was uploaded, candidate Park said to the students, “First question, everyone, let’s worry. I’m a liberal. But I hate being bound. Korea is a liberal country.” “I don’t want to wear a helmet, and the state compels me to wear a helmet by law. That’s the law, and that’s justice.”
“The teacher said,’If you ride a motorcycle (like that), it hurts others and you, so you have a duty to be safe, and that’s justice,” he added. “Justice is different for everyone.”
Candidate Park said to the students, “You’re in the second year of high school. When you wake up in the morning, something is burning,” he said. “When you become a mature young man, whether you are a man or a woman, you do not have to satisfy your sexual desires with God’s Providence.”
“There are people who don’t have companions in their lives. There is a way for them to solve it. It’s a prostitution system,” he said. “Prostitution is also found in the Bible.”
“As a liberal, I could argue that if I had a deal that I bought a surname, and that woman agreed to receive money instead of giving the surname, then the liberal could argue that it is not justice.” “What is justice if the state bans the law that it shouldn’t,” he said, suggesting Michael Sandel’s book.
In his lecture, Candidate Park asked his students, “Is there any country in the world that legally recognizes prostitution?” “My country does (prostitution)?” He also asked, “Even so, there are not many places (in our country) that do it.”
