Friends in your country ?

[Adrien C]

Hello dear E-friends.

I have been asking myself a question lately, you see in Mexico, for some ****ed up reason they love to bully themselves, no matter if you are a close friend they still play very bad taste joke on you, they will even mock the physical aspect. When I lived in France and in England, it wasn’t this way, friends were very close and supportive of each other, they did what friends are supposed to do. Here it’s different, they other day, I brought them home, and some dude rented a porn flick on sky (the Paris Hilton one), where the hell do you see this kind of behaviour? The only thing they are good at is when you have some trouble against some people outside the group they will gladly help.. My question is, are your friends like that in your country ?

Nope here in Canada people are actually nice and have brains
All my friends are alot like me and we all really get along well and wouldn't get each other in trouble, that's just stupid.

Ditto.

 

[Vigilante]

In America I've always had friends that are supporting. The worst we'll do is race on the highway...

 

[KoreBolteR]

Here in Wales friends are up for a laugh, and supportive. full of entertainment and good times

 

[AntiAnto]

Here in Canada, friends have beaver hats and eat maple syrup.

 

[short recoil]

I have a small group of friends who are quite good, i can literaly count my friends on 1 hand but we never argue or anything and we get on very well.

 

[MarcoPollo]

Here in USA I have friends that will make fun of me and such but in a VERY jokingly manner but if someone that wasnt my close friend messed with me or made fun of me, they would deffinately deffend me. It just depends on what kind of person you are because there are people like that all over the world.

 

[evil^milk]

hm, seems like you ended up in some retarded place in mexico, adrien. i have a few friends that i can count on, and they'd never insult me in any way. however i know another few guys who like to play bad jokes on themselves, but they seem not to care. i guess it's just who you get along with best.

Quite common in Australia amongst certain groups. you have to play pranks on your mates, and accept it in good grace to be one of the boys. I always thought it was childish stupidity myself, and never hung around people like that. I notice that similar things seem to happen in the USA, jackass style.

I think playing pranks on your friends is wrong. And sometimes people die from stupid pranks. Pointless and childish.

 

[Foxtrot]

It just depends what type of people, there are some people in the US who do that stuff but I think they are a very small minority, most people aren't assholes...

 

[Qwert93]

Here in Singapore, if you insult your friends, they might become your enemies. That is, if you insult them pretty badly.

 

[Danimal]

Everyone in my country are ****en dumbasses, send donations.

 

[jimbo118]

what age are you?when your young your mates uaually always take the piss,depends on who you hang around with,my friends in college are much nicer than my friends from school etc,

 

[Danimal]

I am not talking about my friends, I am talking about EVERYONE.

 

[jimbo118]

I am not talking about my friends, I am talking about EVERYONE.

aussie peeps are sound,up for the craic and all

 

[Danimal]

Half the Australians are goths and the other half are violent street gansters...

 

[jimbo118]

Half the Australians are goths and the other half are violent street gansters...

:hmph: ,i guess you mean half the youth population

 

[Crushenator 500]

Half the Australians are goths and the other half are violent street gansters...

And then there's always that small minority that are good at exaggerating :thumbs:

It seems like those people are simply dickheads. It is not necessarily a geographical thing, since this happens in every culture across the face of the earth.

And Australians aren't just goths or gangsters. well, maybe in Queensland :upstare: *joke*

Seriously, I have a good set of mates (guys and girls) who are kind and supportive, both here and in China. And wherever else they happen to be scattered around the world.

I think you just need to find some people who can treat you with the respect you deserve.

Exactly!

 

[Calanen]

Goths and Gangsters? No surfies on the Gold Coast? Or Elderly people?

I don't want to hang out with with most of the people around the place - but that's because I don't go for the very superficial human interaction that most people need ie talk of sporting scores, Friends episodes, Sex in The City, the weather. Its all inane and pointless banter. But that says something about me - ie I am the odd one out. It seems that there are plenty of people around who you can have inane banter with on numerous sporting topics, television shows, and drink alcohol in noisy smoker bars when you do so. These people are your 'friends' apparently.

Thats not what I call friendship.

I was lucky to grow up with a few school friends, and things were very rough for us - so we stuck it out together and are still friends today. If I did not have them, I doubt I would have any 'true' friends. Just acquaintances that I would try and pass off as friends while discussing the weather, sporting scores, television shows and drinking alcohol......

Here in Sweden friends use to hunt polar bear together, when we're not hunting wolves, that is.

 

[ríomhaire]

In Ireland we do mock and prank eachother a bit but mainly we just have a laugh.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Most friends in Sweden are like regular people in Sweden, they're cold(hearted), isolated and very very reserved no matter how long you have been together with them. If you are more than two people in a friendship circle, expect the others to backtalk on you whenever you're not around.

If you are attacked or about to get into trouble, your friends run for it and don't give a **** what happens to you.

There's not even a swedish word for friends, actually.

Although, there's a rare other kind of friends, they would pretty much give their lives for the cause of the friendship. Those are the ones you go on polar bear hunting with.

 

[CREMATOR666]

I live in *snip* they're all nice here

 

[The Monkey]

There's not even a swedish word for friends, actually.

That's not very true, is it? But I agree with you, people here are very cold hearted, and very few would like to get in trouble for their friends...

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

Adrien how do you mean messing around though?

Is it stuff (along the lines of) like putting shaving cream in a friend's hand when they sleep and then tickling their nose, etc. Funny pranks in jest.. (which usually is just till college, and doesn't last all that long till you grow up)

Or fighting each other, etc, really really meanspirited stuff that hurts the people doing it to?

 

[jimbo118]

In Ireland we do mock and prank eachother a bit but mainly we just have a laugh.

yeah i agree

 

[Ren.182]

My friends in college are awesome. So much better than the friends in School. We have a laugh all the time and are there for each other if were needed. Suppose because we chose to be there, then there isn't any dicks there who don't want to be there.

 

[Steve]

Well, my friends and I knock on each other and everything, but we usually stay away from "below the belt" insults and stuff.

 

[Shodan]

My friends are all pretty cool, I just know them for who they are, i'm not like my sister, who for some reason needs to collect friends.

Its just where I live that bothers me, chavs were invented here, and also trisha is filmed here.

*shudder*

 

[DigiQ8]

My friends here in Kuwait are very supportive
i love my friends ^^
AND I LOVE YALL !!

 

[Zerimski]

Its just where I live that bothers me, chavs were invented here, and also trisha is filmed here.

Trisha isn't filmed in Chatham...

I have a few really close friends, and a large circle of "acquaintences" who I would call friends. The people I know are generally very supportive, and will not hesitate to help each other out.

 

[Shodan]

No chavs were defininatly invented in Norwich, this is not a fact I a proud of BTW,
if anyone feels like launching a tactical strike my way, feel free.
