>Canada

>>52691449
Agreed
>>52691345
Mexico isn't a first world country
I want to know too. Maybe they will appear soon.
>>52691272
Pretty boring, more comfy, infrastructure works, everything is well organized, in general but you still need to work just as hard if you want to have a good comfy life where you can live luxorious.
comfy :3
>>52691561
it's alright heheh, nothing special, you know.
>>52691314
Tell me more.
russia is first world country
>>52691272
Kinda sucks, since rich fucks are moving all the jobs to poor countries.
>>52691272
Just nove to Moscow, St. Pete or Kaliningrad Oblast :^)
t. Second world, we will never overcome our poverty like successful Czechs

is education free in your countries?
>>52691745

My life is pretty much laid out for me. I didn't believe the "white privilege" meme for the longest time until I realized I'm on a conveyor belt to a solid job with a STEM degree because of my parents and all the pressure is solely on me not to fuck it all up. Living in a first world country is like this. You basically at everything at yor disposal, its up to you to not fuck up your life.
>all these 3rd world countries saying how good living in a 1st world country is
>>52691787
For educations after secondary school we loan money and the government pays a part of the study as long as you stay within the time limit.
Before that it is free and some of the books you need to pay for.
>>52691923
[Your country must be in the top five HDI rankings to view this post. Please consider moving to a better country.]
>>52691787
Also there's a shitton of taxes here, so essentially everything free isn't actually free.
>>52691848
At least Russia is better than Spain, Italy, Belgium, France.
>>52691999
you're quite right
>>52691999
Kek yes you're right, in fact in secret it's better then the rest of Europe too so stay out.
>>52691997
education is one of the things you must pay tax for if you want not to live in a shithole
>Talking with Russian qt on whatsapp
>Ask her how her day has been
>She's been stuck in an elevator for 2 hours
>Russian infrastructure
>>52692099
I'm not saying it's wrong, just that it isn't really free. This country is quite expensive to live in make no mistake as a working man you need to work a good amount of hours with a low wage job to have a good life and support a family.
NEETs for some reason have it easier but then again they are likely fucked for life due ot their social isolation and lack of skills so they're not winning in the end.
>>52692129
Typical American propaganda. Russians don't use whatsapp
>>52692180
>not really free
that's what the social contract implies
surrender some freedom (in the form of tax) to gain protection of your remaining rights (tax-funded education)
>>52692243
t. all russians
>>52692243
Then who was Russian?!?
>>52692264
Yes, I nowhere denied that. What point are you trying to make? I'm just trying to get the message through that it's not merry funland here for the people in poorfagstan.
I dont know.
>>52692336
you're coming off as a retarded american that spouts the >not really free meme
>>52691516
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJ CHICANITO u.u
>>52691787
yes, i herd that a Russian 16 year old has the education of an American 8 year old, is that true?
source:some Russian chink on youtube
>>52692392
Well, that wouldn't be a retard American because he's right.
>>52692392
Mate, you're the retard for trying to claim that education is free.
>>52691923
>tfw your country hasn't split into 20 3rd world shitholes
>>52692485
your a libertarian, we get it.
>>52691449
>Just invade me now
>>52692485
it's fair to consider the argument retarded because it is used against universal free education
instead your universities act as private companies trying to make a profit, and instilling affirmative action for publicity stunts, as well as nigger scholarships
>>52691272
wonderful t. first world
>>52692459
It was opposite, while Soviet education system was in run, but Im not sure how its now.
It's very good and relaxing.

I wouldn't know because I am Welsh
>>52692599
Teachers cost money.
Books and other supplies cost money.
Buildings cost money.
Utilities cost money.
Buses cost money.
What does this have to do with politics?
>>52691272
You are rewarded in proportion to your efforts and intellect which I understand is not the case everywhere
>>52691588

Only first first world countries ITT.
Good luck to other pathetic guys.
>>52691689
>move to Moscow
Yeah, we're even better that Sweden.
>>52692459
i dont know. what do american kids study at the age of 16?
>>52692653
it never was
I don't know.
>>52692738
>being this literal
We now about taxes!
>>52692974
But you're the coolest of Europe?
>>52692884
algebra, biology, chemistry, calculus
>>52692922
Schoolboy pls
>>52693005
>We now [sic] about taxes!
And this is the fallacy that started the whole reply chain. Just because something is paid for with tax dollars does not make it "free."

>>52692642
>it's fair to consider the argument retarded because it is used against universal free education
So because you don't agree with the conclusion someone may draw from a line of reasoning you reject the factual statement that things cost money? Again, who is supposed to be the retard here?
>instead your universities act as private companies trying to make a profit
Public universities in the US are non-profits, any money they make beyond their expenses are reinvested in the University's endowment. There are private schools too, of course, and they can do whatever they wish with their money.
>instilling affirmative action for publicity stunts
Affirmative Action was started by the federal government in the 1960s and since then has been struck down in part by various state courts.
>as well as nigger scholarships
These are given by private individuals and organizations, who may do as they wish with their money.
Basically, I don't get what your point is. You are complaining about what the federal government or private people have done and then try to claim that means schooling is "free."
Like I said: retarded.
>>52693254
do you fucking autism? its just easier to say free then explain a tax plan every time.
>>52693777
>[D]o you [have] fucking autism? [I]ts [sic] just easier to say free [rather] then [sic] explain a tax plan every time.
Calling a government funded program "free" leads to poor decision making on the part of the public, who fail to properly internalize the cost of public goods. Just look at our Moldovan friend ITT to see what I mean.

>sic
wow ur liek so gud wif grammer i bet ur havn a seazure rite nao huh?
>can drink water straight from tap without getting the shits
>infrastructure and bureaucracy usually work
>make enough money to go to third world countries like yours and gawk at your uncivilized ways for vacation
Then again, I could save money on the last part by just going to the South for vacation.
>>52691986
that's quite a rare image, I think I'll save it
>>52691272
good question
Very comfy tbqh everything was top tier, then the crisis started

Must sucks. at least we have some emotions and surprises in the 3rd.
>>52691588
>infrastructure works
>OV-chipkaart
Who the hell thought this was a good idea?
Biggest pain in the ass I've ever encountered.
>>52691272
expensive
the amoun of money i spend on candy for 1 weekend i could spend the same amount on a 1 month food package for 1 person on UNICEFS webpage, but then again candy is sweet :3
>>52698640
Well... never had any issue with it. Don't even know how it goes for foreigners though.
literally nothing happens
people get angry about the dumbest fucking shit. like people get angry if a public park doesn't get mowed properly.
people go fucking bezerk over the smallest things. if some kid gets injured during a school ski trip literally all you hear is "THINK OF THE CHILDREN" for days
it's a fucking nannnystate full of idiots consumed by ennui who do nothing but spend their money on shit they don't need
>>52698797
>20 Euro minimum
>Can only top up at a train station or tram booth thingies
>random placement of readers so I have to run all the way to it before going back to get to my destination in the opposite direction
I don't know if it was just sloterdijk or something, but that was stupid af.
>>52699000
You don't need to check out though if you don't leave the station if you're going by train. It reads where you're from when you're done with traveling the cost is calculated.
With trams you can check in into every tram.
>>52699000
It's well known NS are jews.
Literally only beneficial thing about the OV kaart is the fact that it's free for students and thus I can fucking bum around anywhere when I don't have any classes.
Also to conclude my rant, different classes on national trains are absolute bullshit.
>>52692459
I don't think so because they learn English and know how to locate their country on a map.
>>52700979
>know how to locate their country on a map.
is this true or just a meme?
>>52691272
comfy I guess
>>52701133
It's pretty true but it only applies on American normies because the ones you have here are not that stupid thanks the knowledge they acquire here.
>>52691272
Pretty comfy tbhfam.
>>52692653
Soviet education was great. Current Russian education is nowhere as good.
