    tasmania is a shit hole 3rd world country that's incredibly barbaric and a hell hole for gays and lesbians.

    Tasmania and Lesbania are both in Europe, which has much higher standards of living than the rest of the world. Educate yourself!

    Tasmania is 3 seconds away from Australia. Papua New Guinea is 1 second away from Australia. Papua New Guinea has literal witch burnings and punishment for witch craft. Just because you saw a white prime minister doesnt mean they have all the proper institutions to maintain civilization there. Theyre more like south africa: white core where universities teach quantum physics and wormhole theories, and outside the core is...witch burnings and setting vaginas on fire type of structure to their society.

    Maybe if you extended your environment beyond the southern red states, you'd be more aware of the problems outside your small environment. There's more to life than a mcdonalds, a depressing shopping mall, a gas station and a church. Run back to tumbleweedfireflies and complain about how you're being persecuted by the gays and lesbians again while being offended at the mere mention of homophobia within the red states you support. Didnt you mention how you were offended once that someone mentioned people in southern states, grown men, literally hunt and murder gay teenagers, because that apparently ruins your victim narrative?

      all of your comments share a similar theme: an apathy towards gays and lesbians

      I know lots of people chain smoking on balconies, including my mom. But reading the lastest pholosophy?Nah

      It's a stereotype pretentious Americans hold.

      Smoking is taboo here, so it's a luxury Europeans can afford to indulge in (in our eyes.) Obviously you're all so educated and modern, all you do is think deep thoughts and lounge around instead of working like plebs 😉 Balconies are also unusual here and are a sign of wealth, but they're everywhere in Europe.

      I wished smoking were taboo here too. To be honest, I'm scared as fuck my mother is going to develop cancer, especially now in her 60's. Americans don't smoke, here if full of women smokers. Didn't know about balcony beign rare in USA. My parents home has a superlong balcony you can get a walk all around the house lol Here having an indipendnet home with a garden is considered luxury

      Here having an indipendnet home with a garden is considered luxury.

      Different things are more expensive in different places, I guess. We have lots of land, so a house with a yard is cheap.

      Apartment buildings and sometimes houses (especially old houses) have balconies, but you always pay extra to have them and it's a way to show off being wealthy.

      My parents home has a superlong balcony you can get a walk all around the house.

      Oh that's very fancy! Must have cost so much!

      To be honest, I'm scared as fuck my mother is going to develop cancer.

      That dread of what the future might bring with our parents ☹️ I'd say that's the main reason it's so taboo here. People think it's dirty and you're risking cancer by doing it. They also think you're giving them cancer by smoking near them, so people aren't shy about harassing smokers. There are smokers here, it's just looked down on as shameful and low-class. That also makes smoking look rebellious and cool, so the cycle continues.

      Yeah, while here indipendent house costs a lot. Living in apartment is the norm. In USA I've heard raising kids in apartment is considered bad lol

      Oh that's very fancy! Must have cost so much!

      Yeah we rich LMAO

      I know my parents are going to die one day, which as only child is very scary to think about. But seems like increase the odds of dying earlier when you smoke. She has been smoking since she was 16 or something. I had my first cigarette at 10 I guess, but never took the habit. I've been raised with people smoking around me, not healthy. Obesity makes you die early too, but USA celebrates it lol

      It's bizarre how our leftists encourage obesity. What are they smoking? Lol.

      It's so expensive to remain thin here, only the very wealthy can afford to do so. You have to buy higher quality food and be able to afford expensive gym memberships- plus have the free time to use them, which working people don't have.

      We recently had a congresswoman banned from Twitter for saying that the government should be focusing on anti-obesity campaigns rather than mass vaccination:

      My problems is like gaining weight. I'm a bit underweight according to BMI, but I'm fine. You should start eating mediterranean home made food, rather than processed stuff. It isn't expensive to eat healthy. It's about portions.

      [–]PatsyStoneMaverique 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

      I'm not obese, lol!

      But also, it doesn't work that way here. Our obesity epidemic has to do with lack of worker's rights, the cost of food, the planning of cities, and lack of public education about home economics. The government could cut the number of obese people in half in a decade or so just by limiting work hours for salaried workers.

      Americans did not become fat until the late 80s, and it is directly linked to 70s and 80s government changes in labor and agricultural policy. Being fat is shameful and painful, Americans don't do it on purpose.

      It's so expensive to remain thin here, only the very wealthy can afford to do so.

      That's a myth. Vegetables, fruits, rice, and beans are the cheapest foods you can buy, and if you have a good diet, exercise is not that important; you can get away with taking short walks or simply having a job that requires you to move around a little.

      Please refrain from, yet again, picking an argument with me unprovoked. You don't know what you're talking about.

      only the very wealthy can afford to do so.

      If you are interested in what I have to say- how nice!
