>>9278094 its funny, the self inflated images people have of themselves in those countries. I read the other day some Dane claiming Danes had the most extreme drinking culture on earth.

>>9278133 I remember a few years ago there was talk that we had the highest percentage of teenage binge drinkers in the world/Europe/OECD or something like that, but I don´t know exactly what it was about. Some people just treat stuff like that like it´s a competition. Teenagers do drink a lot here, and they start early, but I´m sure there are worse places out there

>>9278939 I mean Catholics in general and not just Ireland. Heres an idea. Go to Mexico, just about anywhere in Mexico. Find a larger church, look inside the church and then look outside the church. Inside you will find gold and extraordinarily crafted objects. Outside you will find poverty, crime and shit everywhere. In a protestant country, those unnecessary commodities would get sold and used to invest in making life better for the common man. Which in turns leads to a richer and happier society.

>>9279028 That's not a fair comparison, you double heretic. If you looked at Mexico and used it as the basis for judging all catholics, you'd think we worshipped Santa Muerta and a pantheon of bandits.

Portugal Spain and Italy all have amazing architecture, interesting history and have all made great contributions to art and science. Just because they're having economic problems currently doesn't mean they're complete shit.

>>9277431 Northern countries have some charm, but I don't think that they're more fascinating then southern countries. There's less to , that's it. They're not more civilized, absolutely not. Western Civilization was created in Southern Europe They're less corrupt, it's true.

>>9287175 It is if you use the original meaning of the word corruption, though the meaning we are referring to in this thread is the political and economic meaning.

>>9287546 The prospect of financial hardship has frightened them in a way the unimagined prospect of democratic non-being has not. Comfort has triumphed free will. As slaves they will be fed, housed and cared for, more or less, whereas as free men they would have to fight, struggle and face failure and destitution.

In the south, you can just sit in the sun and do nothing. If you try that in the north, you'll get cold and probably wet, so you have to get up and work to build a house. It's been like that for ages so that it's become a part of the culture and work ethics.
