What is The Biggest Culture Shock You Have Ever Encountered?

My friend won tickets to see the group Earth Wind and Fire. He and went in to the theater which was in a bad part of town. We has never heard of them before. After a while we noticed that we were the only two white guys in the whole place. There were lots of people rhat were dancing in the aisles. It was sort of cool until people started setting the seats on fire

When I guy offered me his 8-ish year-old chai boy to have sex with the same way you'd offer a lighter to someone trying to light a fire. People who say "all cultures are equal" haven't traveled much.

Afghanistan?

[BoopBoopBeep]

@LaFemmeFatale_1 Yeah. Down south. Out in the REAL rural area.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

These kind of things make me ashamed I am a human.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@LaFemmeFatale_1 I've dealt with the worst of humanity for so long... and people wonder why I live in the woods.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I always wondered how can we be so kind and so evil at the same time. I figured, maybe the kindness comes as a result of suppressing the evil in yourself.

So the amount of the kindness we own is the equivalent of the potential of evil we can have.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@LaFemmeFatale_1 There is a lot of owed kindness out there, to be sure...

When someone in China told me that he was virgin because the sperm of a virgin man cures illnesses and scares the ghosts away. 🤭

[msc545]

Are you still surprised at the stuff men will make up just to get off?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Haha, nope. Why would he believe in that I wonder! 😅

The first thing our grandpa liked to tell us was that when he was young, he was a player and once he lied a woman his mother died and cried in her lap just because she was the only woman who wouldn’t sleep with her. She slept with him.

[msc545]

uh.. what?

[BoopBoopBeep]

@lafemmefatale_1
haha did he ACTUALLY cry? That sure is selling it I suppose.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@msc545
As I understand it, her granddad told a woman that his (granddad's) mother died, so he cried in her (the woman he was lying to) lap and then she slept with him

[msc545]

@BoopBoopBeep oh... thanks!!!

[BoopBoopBeep]

@msc545
pleasure fam
cheers

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I guess so, I have no idea why he’d have to do that as he has slept with the whole town by that time but seems like he didn’t like to take a “No” as an answer, when he was young.

It must have been karma that he has 3 daughters and 5 granddaughters, so he always warned us not to trust a man, not even his tears 😅

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Don’t judge him too hard, he was very young. In the end he turned out to be an amazing husband, father and a grandpa.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

But yeah, that’s where my trust issues come.

[msc545]

@BoopBoopBeep 👍👍👍

[justabuddy]

Lol... for a second I thought this guy was serious.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@justabuddy I still think he was serious 🤭 Not sure, maybe he was just trying to impress me with his virginity

If I was around then, the Assassination of JFK.

@Jersey2 just so masculine

[Jersey2]

Masculine to me means taking care of your kids financially and providing for the family. It may have different meaning to you n

[Opinion Owner]

@Jersey2 it always comes down to penis envy with you racists

[Agagagagaga]

You’re the one who brought up penises, weirdo.

[BoopBoopBeep]

He merely asked what masculine means to YOU, how is he racist?

[Opinion Owner]

@BoopBoopBeep what is more masculine than a guy with a big dick?

[BoopBoopBeep]

I'm not sure, I get called masculine for a host of reasons. I did 9 tours overseas outside the wire. I think "more" comes down to "you"... whoever it is valuing this component or another. I also landed my last two girlfriends because of the bulge in my pants when I was not aroused. I just wasn't sure I caught the racist angle from @Jersey2

[Opinion Owner]

@BoopBoopBeep so many war heroes on GAG

[BoopBoopBeep]

Never said I was a hero. Just a guy that kept signing up to keep going. I know some heroes. They did a lot more than I ever did.

[Jersey2]

@BoopBoopBeep Thank you for your service. I was 13 Echo on 155s but not during wartime, at least a hot war.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@Jersey2 Thank you brother. I did 97B at first til some people in northern VA asked me to join their program. Got to work forward COIN along side some people from agencies nobody outside the game as ever heard of.

Fires are good people, brother. I respect that. Believe that. Counter-mortar teams are some of the most squared away people I met outside of the three-letters or groups.

[Jersey2]

@BoopBoopBeep Very impressive, truly.
