What the heck are you talking about, Sven?
>lack-of-prostitugal
Your country is big though so some areas can be full of it while other upper class areas are completely void of it. Are you telling me all those episodes of COPS were fake prostitutes?
I wish prostitutes here looked half as good as the one in your pic
Well she is on Sierra highway...
stripping/tricking makes a lot of money
you'd have to offer them 40-60k a year in government monies
Our prostitutes are chubby college students with giant painted on eyebrows who look for desperate guys on Instagram/Snapchat/etc.
I like american prostitutes, i do not know why, they are kind
why does every non-american flag on this board have encyclopedic knowledge of all our trashiest reality shows
I'd be more interested in knowing why prostitues are ugly as shit. it's a contradiction.
>fake prostitutes
O shit
Is this a thing?
I can't even understand what the actual fuck is wrong with america.
Megachurches in which you need to pay to praise,heat coins,not healthcare,shart on mart,school shoters
Lots of episodes, easy to fill out the TV schedule I guesssss
It's very much a thing, cops put out fake ads in the paper offering sex for money or have undercover cops stand on the street corner waiting for people to offer, then arrest them.
They also have undercover male cops arresting prostitutes for soliciting.
Our media is basically the american life(or supposed to be),the kids sing the american shows songs and shit.
NOT ABOUT TO SEE YOUR LIGHT, BUT IF YOU WANNA FIND HELL WITH ME.
There are prostitutes literally everywhere. The ones in nicer areas just don't lurk under signs waiting for someone to pick them up because the cops will actually bother to get rid of them; they have websites where you call them and they come over. Like a pizza place, except you fuck the pizza.
kind of
welfare is basically just paying to not have to deal with a subhuman underclass so much
lots of cheap licenses and it's incredibly bloated. also people aren't joking when they say we are becoming americanized
We bother to export our garbage everywhere, so everyone knows the trashy American gameshows, soap operas, and reality TV.
We think Europe is cultured because we only get their renowned shows and movies. I went to France once and people watched shitty talk shows and dramas, as do the English and the Germans. It's all a ruse.
haha yeah its funny how its the shittiest tv shows which get exported n free to air tv
like our soap operas which had pretty much only foreigners watching them for their last 10 years
What does Americanization look like in Sweden?
>born into wealth and security and has no comprehension of how the rest of the country lives
Kill yourself mate, you are part of the subhuman group of parasites ruining this country.
the same as everywhere else
people are supplanting swedish words for american words, consume majorly american media etc
India has the same problem. They have a very artistic cinematic community, but all they ever seem to get known for is the Bollywood dramas.
the absolutely worst part about it all is that because immigrants lose their cultural identity, they become pseudo-american
even the fucking saaminiggers larp as native americans now because they see indians get away with stupid shit
>immigrants lose their cultural identity,
?
All inmigrants lose their cultural identity,this isn't called "integration" ?
Maybe the EU should invest in a Hollywood of their own so counter American pop culture dominance. Or maybe that would just make things worse who knows.
I saw prostitutes in France and that place has gibs so I don't think so
not when the culture they adopt isn't the culture of their host nation
I should have written when the immigrants lose their cultural identity, they instead become pseudo-americans*
that was my bad in hindsight
Good point.
Europe used to be a bigger cinematic powerhouse back during the cold war, as communist and capitalist countries would compete by trying to make the best movies possible. After the cold war ended, that industry died off. Now we live in the age of Euroschlock, where most European directors try to be as edgy as possible.
We're not much better though, most of our independent movies are quirky indieshit that recycles the same prepackaged coming of age story. Hollywood also stopped caring about art or representing American values, so all they've made since the 70s is soulless junk that is special made to be sold to every country in the world and in the process ends up having no personal appeal to anybody.
Do you really believe that your chart is reliable with a mostly green Africa, Miguèl?
there's loads of good euro films bru
So the Arabs generally adopt black American culture?
Not him but I really liked Let the Right One In and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Can you give me some good recommendations?
There's a lot of good American films, too. But it's safe to say that the current state of cinema is not very good. European movies have been an edgy circlejerk since the 90s, and American movies have been a feel-good circlejerk since the early 00s where rich kids from NYC make quirky movies about depressed gay teenagers.
>arabs
but yes, immigrants act like niggers because that's somehow the culture that they feel the closest to
example: I was friends with a kurd in high school who was super into MMA and general Jow Forumsness. he didn't drink, smoke etc because it was bad for his body.
fast forward just 5 years and when I met him again he was just another retard thinking the government was oppressing him because of his skin colour and everybody else was out to get him. he posted on facebook that he had been the victim of a "racist" stop-and-search despite the fact that his uncle is a known criminal and post-high school they started associating more closely
two of my favourite movies are irish: the guard and in bruges
Even if people have welfare they don't always use it for their own wellbeing, the poor also tend to be more impulsive and short sighted. People on welfare are often involved in criminal activity because they pawn their cards off to others for things they're not allowed to buy with government money, like drugs or alcohol or cigarettes or even clothing and electronics. Or they just buy junk food or whatever shit that qualifies but still hardly counts as food from a nutritional standpoint. I grew up poor and knew numerous people who would blow a month of benefits on the first day by letting someone else borrow their card for a month in exchange for money. Even some parents would do this and then rely on schools or other places to provide food for their kids. The usual exchange rate is 2 dollars of welfare money for every one dollar in cash so it's not even a good deal but people do it anyways.
I bet at least half of all prostitutes aren't in it for survival, maybe more.
oh god I wish that were me
>Even if people have welfare they don't always use it for their own wellbeing,
According to studies in poorer places around the world they do. And the times they don't it's few and often dwarfed by more urgent needs in other times.
Not the guy you're replying to, but
I actually heard a story on NPR about the hard truths of poverty in Africa, where despite the "glamorization" of the poor as people bravely doing what they can to survive while providing a better future for their children, that wasn't always the case. The truth can be... complicated. Parents often spent money on necessary things like cigarettes or prostitutes on alcohol, even when they didn't have enough money to feed and clothe their children to begin with.
So more often that you'd expect, poor people do dumb shit counterintuitive things. I don't blame them too harshly, because being poor is fucking rough and maybe a bottle of moonshine now and then is much preferable to just snapping under the stress and not being able to provide at all. Stress can break or kill you just as easily as disease and starvation. And of course being poor means you don't often have the problem-solving skills that economically-better-off people take for granted.
>t. one of the most liberal people on this site
>Parents often spent money on [unnecessary] things
fugg :DDDDDD time for bed
Because people need pleasures in life, it's not really an issue.
fuck off cops is good
Jesus Christ you type like a fag
Infact just GIVING people money helps them a ton. Lie countless research has shown that just giving people money in the long run heavily benefits people.
Yeah but it can be hard to justify when the kids are suffering from malnutrition. I didn't say completely acceptable or unacceptable, but 'complicated' is the best way to put it
Leave me alone it's 2:30 and this is the the 3rd night I'm going to get
Yet when Zanzibar gave out a small ass pension (first in history of that scale in east africa) to old people all that money went into their families and business.
