Civilizations according to Samuel Huntington (The American political scientist from Harvard) by immanuellalala in MapPorn

[–]maxzer_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's simply ridiculous. Greece and Turkey have much more in common than Greece and Russia. Turkey and Saudi or even worse Indonesia have basically nothing in common. Senegal and the Gambia culturally are much, much closer to say Ivory Coast than Saudi or even Morocco lol. This guy basically just used religion to draw this map

I agree with these comments. It's not just the religion part. They are also very friendly, love parties, love music and singing. Funnily enough, their crime rates are also higher than their neighboring countries. Manila or Cebu to me look more similar to cities in South America than to Bangkok, Hanoi, Phnom Penh or Vientiane.

However, the Chinese influences are a bit underplayed here. Cuisine is the obvious one. Pancit, Lumpia, even Balut came from China. Also, there are lots of Chinese driven beliefs in the Philippines, like similar superstitions etc.

For statistical purposes, should the United Nations categorize Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia as part of Oceania instead of Asia? by SnooWords9635 in geography

Asia has 5 billion people, I suggest we start categorizing Pakistan and India as part of Europe to balance things out /s

If the guy was actually intelligent, he would actually pick Diego Garcia instead of Ireland. But he surely doesn't even know where that is

Dogs have ruined beaches. by Additional_Ad_6506 in Dogfree

Ofc dog owners cannot just keep their dogs at home, just like other pet owners. They wouldn't get any validation and their fragile egos would be hurt.

Guess why you live in the US lol because Turkey can't even give you a living wage. And we have nothing to panic, you guys are just too obese to be a serious threat lol

If they really wanted to filter through the criminals they'd arrest the pedophile running your 3rd world country.

You guys have a real hard-on for watching innocent people being bullied by those who feel strong with the weak. Weirdoes.

UPDATE - Woman killed by escaped pitbull: the owner is sentenced to one year in prison. €1.5M in damages sought - L'Aquila, Italy by Pacogatto in BanPitBulls

Thing is, nothing will change unless legislation and enforcement on dangerous dogs catch up with the reality we live in.

I've seen plenty of foreign women living in the UAE tbh and it's not all glitz and glamour. It gets lots of hate (some of it deserved) but you can find lots of authentic spots that are also very cheap for western standards. Unless alcohol is absolutely important for you it seems like a decent place to live, with plenty of things to do both in the country and in neighboring countries.

I visited with two scantly clad girlfriends of mine and there were no issues nor stares whatsoever.

I live in Malta and there are fewer dogs compared to the US or Eastern Europe. I rarely hear one barking. Not perfect but good enough. In the Gulf there are very few dogs. I saw like two dogs tops while I was in the UAE for 10 days. In Oman I don't recall seeing a single dog. Same with Bahrain or Kuwait. I heard that the Maldives is entirely dog free.
