Common things in your country that mostly locals know

[Danz.]

Danz , aren't you being harsh with your country?

Maybe as a local you don't appreciate at his fullest, i sure have a problem apreciating my country but sure is not that bad

Nope, I'm just showing my reality as a "gaúcho".

 

Brazil really sucks for any white mid-class student, like me. The opportunities are low and it is getting harder everyday to join a public university, all due to the recent increase of racial quotas and the imposition of an extremely flawed national exam as substitute to the good old ones that were restricted to my state.

 

Then you might ask me: "why wont u study in a fking private college u punkass cracker?"

 

Because only the rich do.

It could have been nice if you show something positive of your country, like the carnaval of gualeguaychu , the caiphiriña or the beaches of rio de janeiro.

People often see the elephant in my country.

First of all, carnival sucks. When its on TV it's an excellent cure to insomnia, and when it's live it's all about having sex with as many ugly sluts as possible.

 

However, I'm only fond of the "cute and shy next door" type of girl, that one who wears t-shirt and jeans everyday, likes to 'bate and play games like a pro. Therefore, parties like carnival aren't for me.

 

Caipirinha? Just mix up some vodka, sugar, ice cubes and lemon juice and there it is. Btw, I hate alcohol.

 

I've never been to Rio, but I've heard it is quite a cool place, though you should make sure to always have your hands next to your body in order to prevent your things from being stolen evrytiem.

[ChrilLe]

Do visit Norway. It's the greatest country in the world

That's the United States. God bless.

[Ben73]

 

Meanwhile in Australia.

 

Melbourne is f*cking cold.

Aboriginals cause/make a lot of trouble.

Darwin is the 2nd most expensive capital city in Australia. (Perth is the most expensive)

Everyone hates Dr Pepper.

There will be no more cars built in Australia by 2018.

Queensland has the worst drivers.

Sydeny is full of mixed nationales.

And Sydney is the best city In Australia.

 

 

 

 

 

You must not get out very often.

 

Making fun of your country is like making fun of your little brother. You are allowed to do it, but if anyone else does you will sort them out.

Here in Scotland, the word c*nt is a term of endearment, as well as an insult. You'd never call your mum it though, it's a bit like the word nigga amongst black Americans.

Contrary to popular belief I have never seen a deep fried mars bar in any fast food takeaway menu, nor do I know anyone who has eaten one.

[G's Ah's]

c*nt is a term of endearment used in New Zealand also.

[Stephan90]

- in Germany only workless people watch talk shows and pseudo reality shows, this kind of program has it's own name "Hartz IV TV", named after the dole payed to people who were unemployed for a long time or have never worked.

- "Let's Plays" have become extremely popular and mainstream after the success of a youtube named Gronkh, who made a very successful lets play of Mincecraft with over 1000 videos with hundreds of million views altogether

- international Wok-racing and car-ball (cars and football, what a nice combination) was invented here

 

 

 

 

 

- the "Beat the star" format was invented here too

[Zondar]

I knew it was in Oz, didn't know it was amongst you c*nts as well.

1. When people think about Germany, people usually mention these southern traditions like Oktoberfest or "sexy blonde women from the country drinking beer and talking funny". This is only Bavaria. The rest of Germany is techno, criminality, nice people, big cities and sh*t.

 

So, remember, for the sake of the Germans:

 

THIS IS NOT NORMAL IN GERMANY AND YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC:

[...] Oktoberfest or "sexy blonde women from the country drinking beer and talking funny". This is only Bavaria. The rest of Germany is techno, criminality, nice people, big cities and sh*t.

 

Beside the Oktoberfest, you can find everything you mentioned everywhere. The north even has more blondes.

 

Funny talking people you mostly find in the east in my opinion, and you won't find many nice people in Berlin IMO. Crime and techno, seriously? You think that is noteworthy?

What do you want to say with that?

[DEALUX]

Romania is pretty much a conservative sh*thole but most people aren't that bad most of the time—that is until you start talking about certain things like religion or race and then you start to see the bad side of them. Overt racism is really common (towards gypsies at least) and so is xenophobia (people here believe the most ridiculous stereotypes about other countries and even about certain regions of their own country). It's not uncommon to see long comment threads on Facebook or other sites where people post the most hateful vitriol towards minorities like gypsies and Hungarians. Sexism is quite rampant as well and from what I can tell it's spread almost evenly for both genders. Also, the majority of people here are Christians and it is quite common to see members of different denominations to bash each other. If you want to see the divisive effects of religion my country is not a bad place to start.

 

All of that makes it difficult to interact with other people (on a deeper level at least) for people like me not to mention that when it comes to dating there's not much to pick from.

They have nice girls in Sachsen, but their dialect sucks IMO.

There is not even a common Saxonian dialect and I wouldn't know why the girls were any different from the ones in the rest of the republic.

"why wont u study in a fking private college u punkass cracker?"

Because only the rich do.

 

Or people like one of my college mates, who got 670/1000 in ENEM and doesn't have to pay private college.

 

Well, my view of Brazil

 

1. People hate this country. But try saying something bad about Brazil in the international media, just try. Most of brazillians will just rage against you.
2. People hate being told things, but love to talk about how dumb portuguese are, or how fat americans are, even though they haven't ever met one in real life.
3. I think it's implicit, but hey, we dig hypocrisy.
4. Our government is quite lame, it does almost nothing about the country and, when it does, people complain that the goverment is only working for that area (i.e. helping poor people instead of middle-class people).
5. Most of middle-class and "new riches" are just a pain in the ass.
6. We like to complain that the goverment rob the people, but we don't like to abid the law ourselves, in most cases.
7. We like to complain about the goverment but most politicians just get reelected, just because we do fear change.
8. Rio de Janeiro is quite a beautiful place, but, if you're born in São Paulo, you'll be treated like crap over there.
9. São Paulo is not that beautiful, but we do payback on that hatred.
10. Brazillians dig hating our own culture, but, if one ever moves out of the country, it does its best to show he's brazillian, be it wearing green-and-yellow jackets, shouting Garota de Ipanema, or whatever he can.
11. Most of brazillians think living in any other country is better than living in here, even though they haven't left the country.
12. Have I told you we love to hate our country?

Enough, now

 

 

I love my country, to be honest. I just hate that, since the majority of people just plainly hate it and see only the bad things, they don't do anything solid to help solve our problems. Adding to that that only a handful of brazillians aren't a pain in the ass...

Anyways, all I know is there exist some weird talking people and I haven't heard crappier and at the same time funnier dialects in the German speaking world. Needless to say that this is subjective.

 

From my experience their girls are more kind and more easy going and open minded than the ones in my Lower Saxon area.

A few changes and you'd manage to describe Portugal too

Portugal and Brazil have A LOT more in common than both parties would like to admit. I assume it's because you guys colonized us, you know? A lot of stuff still remains in practice, even though it's kind masked, to this date. Even though it's been a long time since we're independent, old habits die hard.

I'm not evening trying to make up fun of my own country. These are facts I know and others know.

[Doc Rikowski]

I'm not Portuguese but I live in Lisbon and I love and hate the country.

I feel the same about my own country.

This means I'm officially also Portuguese.

 

I love Brazil but I've never been there.
