I've had Koreans tell me they're happy guns are hard to get because if guns were common, half of Korea would be dead within the week.

Yeah the chinese uni kids would eventually decide that if other people could have guns then they'd want a gun too, but if everyone had guns they would all shoot each other.

I hate it when people ask me how many guns I own. Here, Korea, Japan- same question. And they seem really disappointed when I tell them I don't own guns, don't like guns, and only even know one person who has guns (and he's a proper Montana good ol' boy who ALSO has a PhD, so I trust him with them.) I lived smack-dab in the middle of the country growing up and all deer season meant for my family was that we stayed the hell out of the woods.

Someone got shot and thrown in the river downstairs from my old apartment. No one would talk about it after the police showed up though so not sure what happened, but there is a bit of gun crime here. Another time when my girlfriend was looking for a new apartment we went to one and it was a building that was mainly Tibetan. My girlfriend said she didn't want to live there since she would get killed, I told her to stop being racist and then on the way out someone told us there had been a murder the night before.

It is indeed. Built to reduce noise from a training range for nearby communities. This is from Germany. The "tank" is an M109G self-propelled howitzer.

Think about a society where

-Nobody thinks about consequences more than 15 seconds into the future
-The majority of rules are outright ignored
-Nobody will attack another person unless they are sure they will not be hurt in retaliation (so using long-reach attacks or using groups)
-Nobody will do things that take too much energy or effort
-Nobody values anyone outside of their immediate family
-Money and Face are the highest priority

Now imagine giving people in this society the ability to instantly kill anyone just by pointing a device at them.

I just went to the Lidl nearby to get some milk and dinner supplies and there were around two dozen Chinese tourists there lining up to the registers, each holding a ~dozen bars of cheap German chocolate and, for some reason, bag after bag of bananas. We get a lot of Chinese tourists in Helsinki at this time of the year but I live in the goddamn suburbs. No tour bus in sight. What should I guess just happened?

Nuh, it was the cheapest store-brand stuff. I guess they were still souvenir shopping, its just that I live nowhere near the city center and all this took place in an out of the way German discount supermarket, so I instantly thought of the thread. A nice little piece of Chinar weirdness to start my day with, I guess.

Hospitality is part and parcel of super-loving-patriarchal judeo-christo-islamic dudes-hanging-out-in-desert religion. That was what Sodom and Gomorrah were hosed for in the good book, not dudes loving each other in the butt

It's required because the alternative is incredible violence to strangers and a general inability to travel anywhere

Simmer down sparky, "southern hospitality" is a well documented tradition that goes back to landowning southern aristocrats prior to the American revolution. The tradition mandated extending food, beds, and service for free to any guest that showed up at their door. Religion had nothing to do with it and it was practiced heavily by freemasons who pointedly did not want to talk about religion. It was supposed to showcase your wealth and status in a vague imitation of British aristocrats, and in a practical sense it was needed because there weren't inns anywhere near plantation homes.

As time went on and more aristocrats overbred and lost their land the tradition filtered down the classes because there were ex-riches who still felt it was important. By the American Civil War it was a largely accepted Dixie tradition. Reconstruction and increasing urbanization later weakened the tradition by putting hotels closer to things that mattered and it's now largely a folk tale that is referenced to get fussy friends and visitors to eat more at the dinner table.

Mainlanders also don't understand at all how BC pills, injections, IUD, anything works. To them hormones = bad and causes cancer and permanent infertility. No ifs, ands, or buts. It is the most terrible poison for any woman to ever take, and she will get cancer and die. It is some sort of CIA plot to kill Chinese women. If you ask them what kind of hormone it is, what it does, where it affects, etc., they don't know anything about it, but will not lose face at that, and will tell you with full knowledge how it will make a womb barren forever. It's obnoxious.

At first I was gonna chortle along, but then it occurred to me that if mainlanders funnel birth control pills into them like they shovel in antibiotics - that sure as hell can't be good for your mommy daddy region.
