A lot of cultures were like that. A lot of Native Americans didn't intergrate with American culture and become farmers because they considered that 'squaw work'.IG-88E wrote:Men helping to do work is a sign of weakness? That's a new one on me.

A big part of it, at least in Eastern Europe, may have been the fact that their oppressive communist governments allowed for little in the way of recreation. So you smoke to pass the time.Darth Wong wrote:A lot of Asian and Eastern European nations are heavy smoker nations.

Here is the scenario if this happened in the US :
Man: Carry the hay, bitch.
Woman: Strike one, you should carry it. Strike two, I'm not a bitch.
Man: Dammit, don't make me-
Woman: Strike three, don't raise your voice to me.
Man prepares to reply, but he falls over in agony because the woman has kicked his testicles into his sinus cavity.

That's what I thought at first, but apparantly not. That's one fucked up culture.salm wrote:maybe they´re going to switch in 10 minutes? or, maybe not.

Asshole. I wouldn't be surprised that in five minutes after that picture was taken, she snuck up behind him and beaned him over the head with her shoe, stole his wallet, and moved to the other side of the planet to live the life of Ryley. Or maybe thats just what I'd do...
