Eurovision is hella gay.

Correlation?


Oh shit, this isn't just an Albanian or Balkans thing? Europeans in general don't circumcise?

Yall better explain to me how Europe can keep producing babies when under that logic most of its men are gay.

Healthy reliance on alcohol culture and prevalence of party drugs.

We're through the looking glass here, people.

Stop making people believe Europe is a den of debauchery, we're trying to keep the Americans away from us.

Why is circumcision even a thing in the Philippines? Some sort of Muslim historical influence? It certainly isn't big in other Catholic countries.


My guess is American influence. IDK why you'd guess Muslim.

Parents don't expect gifts from their children, they just want them to be healthy and content.

You're failing miserably in that regard too, of course. Why can't you be more like your sister Canada.

Perhaps, but since then we reconsidered. 2016 was quite the turning point, things haven't exactly improved since then.

Islam came to the Philippines before America did.

Also, according to Wikipedia, there are several predominantly Muslim provinces, namely: Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.
So it’s not actually implausible.

Ok, but "more circumcisions" isn't what I think of when I imagine the consequences of Muslim influence. Also, America has a high rate of circumcision compared to the rest of the world. Thank the cornflake flake for that one.

Having done both, I gotta tell you getting laid is a hell of a lot more fun.

If it helps, we usually get our "cut" in preadolescence.

Also, I know what you mean; getting laid is pretty fun. I ought to know; I sired a four-year-old boy.

To be fair the US has its borders closed.

Largely because Canada and Mexico have shut their borders to them but still, a spade is a spade.
