i was at a party yesterday and someone i know from highschool was saying that america is a great country because it's possible to be successful there, and that it's impossible here in finland. he said that no matter who you are, you just have to work hard enough and you will become rich. i told him that wealth is mostly hereditary there and being successful there is actually probably harder if you start from nothing. he denied it and said that you just have to work hard enough none of the poo poo he said made any sense at all until he said that he heard his dad (who moved here from usa) complaining about the taxes he has to pay here, and his dad would have 2 ferraris instead of 2 bmws if the taxes werent so high. he also said that he has a million dollar heritance waiting for him in the states. he also said it sucks that finnish education is free because it makes people lazy since they dont have to work full time jobs in addition to studying, and that the same system should be here in finland. then he said he can't wait to move to usa i didnt know what to say so i told him that he already thinks like a typical american, and he took it as a compliment. then i left the room. afaik he doesn't actually work himself but he's playing borderlands 2 on steam as i'm typing this Minorkos fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jul 5, 2014 |

BAD things about USA, not america, because first of all US citizens consider themselves as sole americans, CUNTS! what about south america ? I hate USA because they stick there nose in everybody's poo poo, and can't keep to themselves! I H USA cause they lock up innocent people in Guananmo bay, that they have just kidnapped for fun, without proof. I Hate USA, because they call themselves fair and poo poo, and they are just a bunch of communists and thugs. I hate USA because, they are o uncultured they think any middle eastern perso is a terrorist!!

I unironically loving love food in America. It's the first thing I think about when I'm going there. I have no doubt at all I'd be riding a fatscooter in six months if I lived there. Don't like? My ex brother in law was kind of a dick. He's American. So there's that.

What the gently caress is wrong with you?

Minorkos posted:i told him that wealth is mostly hereditary there 90% of millionaires are first generation but the goal shouldn't be millionaire and never really was originally. It is true if you work hard most everyone will make a living, which isn't as unique as it used to be in the world but back then that was a big loving deal.

RonMexicosPitbull posted:It is true if you work hard most everyone will make a living, which isn't as unique as it used to be in the world but back then that was a big loving deal. the thing is, being successful here in finland is probably easier than just about anywhere else. everyone gets the same education for free. not only that, people also get around 600 euros a month just for studying. studying and living in another city cost me like a 1000 euros total last year. so basically, the government holds your hand every step of the way to your job. there's also basically free healthcare and stuff. the downside is that when you do become successful, you'll have to pay taxes also i remember that the guy said that his plan in the states is to become a professor of aquatic sciences. like that is his foolproof plan Minorkos fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Jul 6, 2014 |
