One of my Moroccan friends told me that he wore a friendship bracelet on his ankle one time and his father saw it.

His father waited till he was sleeping. First he cut it off with scissors, then he heated a key over the gas stove and burnt his son's ankle with it and made him sleep in the street for 2 weeks. He was 21 at the time (22 now) and his father, from photos, is not strong enough to fight him. His reaction showed that it had never even crossed his mind when I asked why he didn't.

He did move out and now lives independently.

I've met a lot of dumb yanks here. Oh my lord, they are the worst. So much self hate.

They say shit like "you're actually safer here than in the UK or US". This clearly isn't true. Maybe the official figures say that but the official figures here are fake as fuck. Most people have multiple stories of times people tried to pickpocket them or pulled a machete and mugged them in just a week here. But they have 0 equivalent stories from travelling or living in the UK or USA, where you can casually leave your phone and laptop on a table and go for a piss.

And they say "isn't everyone friendly" yet all locals try to double the price on any and every item as soon as they spot you are foreign and, unless you go to a bar, every conversation you get in with a local will end in them asking you for money. It'll end at that point because they either get some or not but they are done talking to you either way. I don't call that friendly.

One yank fuck started saying that women have it worst everywhere in the world. I pointed out that men die around 10 years younger in nearly every nation. If women get the shitty end of the stick, why doesn't that negatively effect their life expectancy. I don't see any other measure that can stand against life expectancy. In any other fields life expectancy (deaths by any causes) is the ultimate measure. So it should be here too.

I did also meet a kid from Philadelphia who was legit and, of course, the Canadians are cool.

As for the truly friendly Moroccans, i.e. only those who give less fucks about their disgusting religion and therefore drink alcohol, they will have an honest conversion with you and let you criticise their culture from an informed standpoint. Because, if Islam is so great why are all majority Islamic countries poverty ridden shitholes where the people treat each other badly. They have no answer for that.

Last night I was talking about UFC (but not about Conor v Khabib) with someone and a local interjected to say that Conor crossed a line by saying things about their religion. I went off on him starting with "for starters, we aren't even taking about them but more importantly our culture is better than yours because we don't kill people for drawing a picture of our favourite paedophile... we don't even have a favourite pedophile, we think they're all bad" and I got progressively more vitriolic as I went on. After which the other kid tired to translate my words into a softer sell.


Peace,
