I dont even think “adapting” to the culture is necessary per se so much as engaging productively with society. Your indian guy who has his lil shrine in the taxi? No problem, old mate has a job, pays his bills, and if that shrine and doing indian cultural shit is what makes them happy and being in the country makes them happy who am i to say no?

2019-02-05 11:20:44 UTC  

It’s where people dont like the country, wont engage productively and wont leave

2019-02-05 11:20:58 UTC  

Migrant or non-migrant, not a fan of that

2019-02-05 11:22:16 UTC  

Whoever you are if your just on welfare bitching about the country but doing nothing in order to actually make it better you need a swift kick in the ass

2019-02-05 11:22:30 UTC  

Or go somewhere else

2019-02-05 11:23:53 UTC  

yeah, but also adapt to the social norms, thats neccesary. A guy can practise his own stuff in private for sure, but if he acts obnoxious and refuses to act lets say by swedens norms where ur supposed to not invade someones personal space

2019-02-05 11:25:15 UTC  

I agree. There’s a time and a place for everything and like any social function its about knowing where those are

2019-02-05 11:26:24 UTC  

You wanna have the call to prayer in the morning? No problem

2019-02-05 11:27:15 UTC  

Unless you’re waking up your neighbours at 5 in the morning

2019-02-05 11:27:20 UTC  

Then thats a problem

2019-02-05 11:28:19 UTC  

yeah, most of the problems ive seen risen, is that its obnoxious behavior where norms arent followed and a certain loudness is achieved

2019-02-05 11:28:36 UTC  

ever seen someone complain about south koreans in sweden? nope

2019-02-05 11:30:35 UTC  

It’s all about mutual respect and being willing to learn. I’ve had some weird ass culture clashes with some Koreans but so long as people are open and willing to see how to accomodate eachother in a reasonable fashion theres no probs

2019-02-05 11:30:52 UTC  

There’s always assholes in any group that dont want to do that though

2019-02-05 11:30:59 UTC  

Some more than others

2019-02-05 11:31:03 UTC  

Some less than others

2019-02-05 11:31:16 UTC  

But its ultimately an individual thing

2019-02-05 11:31:18 UTC  

yeah, thats true, but the majority of a certain culture is not willing to do that

2019-02-05 11:31:36 UTC  

well, let me correct myself, the offspring of the first generations of that culture isnt willing to do that

2019-02-05 11:32:23 UTC  

That seems to be a feature of the kinda first wave of immigration from a new cultural group

2019-02-05 11:34:05 UTC  

the first wave was mostly wanting to work and accomodate, with their own private beliefs, but they still kept to themself and tried their best to act within the social norms

2019-02-05 11:36:20 UTC  

Then theres a bit of a clash of cultures with the kids. From what ive seen it dies down with time and people start to appreciate just how good they got it but teens are an entitled bunch as it is and see themselves as special snowflakes anyway and so having something to hang that feeling on doesnt help

2019-02-05 11:38:14 UTC  

I think people need to be confronted with the reality that they can always leave and if they feel they cannot contribute to a nation then that nation has no requirement to host them. Faced with that most sensible people sober up pretty quickly and the rest arnt worth the effort

2019-02-05 11:40:05 UTC  

Travel also opens your eyes up to the realities of the world pretty fast

2019-02-05 12:00:11 UTC  

Wow this is very interesting information indeed, Bullwhip. I'll be sure to read it.

2019-02-05 12:41:51 UTC  

of course shes jewish

2019-02-05 12:44:07 UTC  

No i would think foetus is not kosher

2019-02-05 12:44:29 UTC  

of course she's american*

2019-02-05 12:44:43 UTC  

2019-02-05 12:44:57 UTC  

Tbf americans want to eat everything

2019-02-05 12:44:59 UTC  

You ever notice how all stupid things come from Amerika or americanized countries?

2019-02-05 12:45:41 UTC  

No theres plenty of gopniks and hardbass around the place

2019-02-05 12:46:29 UTC

Welcome back Patriot

2019-02-05 12:48:23 UTC  

@CronoSaturn I said "stupid things" not "saintly things"

2019-02-05 13:04:21 UTC  

@Kazimir Malevich i mean i understand america wanting to be proud of their country, but some say its the best country there ever is, which is false

2019-02-05 13:20:17 UTC  

what do americans have to be proud of though

2019-02-05 13:21:06 UTC  

like anything after the great war and world war 2
