If you lived during the American wild west days, would you rather be a lawman or an outlaw
Give your reasons
I'd probably get into the mining business, or maybe the road train
To become rich
outlaw
Fuck da police nigga
>tfw roaming round the wastes rustling cows, raping bitches in their homesteads, scalping injuns, and spending all my stolen cash on hootch
>implying that the blurring of the lines between the two isn't at the centre of the Wild West mythos
>>62159214
Lawman, nothing like being the authority of a tiny sleepy town and hunting down outlaw scum across the grand wilderness.
>>62159242
That is the exact opposite way of getting rich
>>62159259
You'd get shot by a cowboy for sounding queer
Anti-lawman loose canon that give no damns and takes no prisoners
>>62159328
My sheriff.
>>62159336
So a native?
>>62159214
Go north so I can join the NWMP and ride down Fenians and Metis in the name of her Majesty.
>>62159368
Do they get to be the bad lawman and collect scalps?
I'd probably be eaten by an alligator. The majority of Florida is fill. In 1860 it was swamp.
herro i am heel for make lairload
>>62159381
>Collecting scalps
>Not mutilating the body in the name of Tonka
Filthy uneducated bongs...
>>62159214
i dont want to be an american at all.
>>62159423
Knowing Germans I wouldn't be surprised if you tried to join a tribe and be the eternal manservant to warriors
>>62159423
Yes, but what if you were a German who lived in the American West?
>>62159422
I'll mutilate your body and put it in jail, wise-guy
>>62159423
plenty of your countrymen did during the 1800s as you know
A french prostitute
>>62159214
Just a simple vaquero trying to get the job done and return to the civilized side of the border

Hello doctor Schultz
I'd be an equipment importer and get rich off of folks like these >>62159242
Buy shovels for 50 cents apiece in Boston, sell for $10 apiece in gold country
I WOULD BECOME A FARMER/COMMUNE LEADER; WE WOULD CULTIVATE WHEAT, AND APPLES, BESIDE MAKING, AND SELLING, OUR OWN BREAD; WHETHER I BECOME AN OUTLAW, OR NOT, WOULD BE MERE INCIDENCE.
A desperado, of course
>>62159214
I wanna fuck Billy the Kid's boipucci
>>62159214
priest should also be an option
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEDNuuCoZYk
>>62159214
Die of dysentery
>>62159214
I'd be a famer. Much of my family were farmers in Alberta from the 1800s onwards. I think I could be a farmer too

>ywn ride with judge holden and scalp niggers and indians
>>62159214
That would be my dream, living in the wild west. Having my own homestead my wife taking care of our nine children. I would have horses and sheep and have a large log cabin house. That would be very comfy desu.
>>62160035
be an oil baron
>>62159214
outlaw
im from wyoming
I'd be the town drunk who they eventually find dead in a horse trough
>>62159214
lawman
> be outlaw
> get shot
is the wild west well known around the world? i thought it was just an american thing
>>62160531
Spaghetti westerns
>>62160531
yes
>>62160531
>i thought it was just an american thing
Are you fucking serious dude? Like, how much of a fucking hugbox do you live in to think this?
>>62160531
Yes, because of what >>62160579 said.
Tough pretty sure all settler states have some sort of equivalent history surrounding frontier towns.
>>62159846
Now, this is a man who knows his stuff...
Personally I like musician as an option
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2gKcLkygI
but why is it popular outside the us
>>62159214
Lawman. Smelly dumb Cattle rustler scum and injuns need keeping in check.
id be a real estate guy scamming dirt farming idiot families out of their land to take the oil/minerals/build a railroad thru it and oppress the injuns
thats how it was meant to be
>>62161761
snake oil salesmen pls go
>>62161799
ill give you 5 dollars an acre for this hellhole you call a home.....
youre not gonna find a better deal than this...
think of your family...
>>62161651
It was basically the exact same culture we had in the North of our country? The other countries I don't know maybe Canada had some kind of cowboys watching reindeer...
>>62161651
basically has to do with hollywood
americans had a huge interest in cowboys, so holllywood made a ton of westerns
it basically became a whole other genre
like you had movies about love, movies about war, and then a giant selection of movies about a ~30 year period in a specific geographical location
>>62162045
why though? and why hasn't it happened for other specific time periods and geolocations?
>>62161651
Some guy named Karl May wrote some novels about some Indian dude named Winnetou and everyone was like DUDE INJUNS LMAO. More or less.
>>62162069
uh
because hollywood itself is in the west
so the stories are from that area itself, the history is all around them, the people who moved to that area wrote books (fictional and true) about their interesting experiences, which were easy to adapt because you had the perfect backdrop
>>62161963
We had something similar but not really. Our Mexican bandidos were more like the F*nian irish scum. The crown crushed our injuns for us so we didn't really have the hardcore scalping kind like the Americans did too.
>>62162118
Lawman, because then I could kill NEET bandits and get medals n' shit.
>>62162074
Set in the Wild West of course.
>>62162167
australia had some badass westerns too
>>62162211
Yeah m8 we sure did, but they're not on the level of Murica desu.
>>62159214
outlow. Because I'm a bad boi.
>>62162236
The proposition was based af

>>62162276
Oh fuck yes
>>62159658
>sell for $10
Enjoy having a bunch of shovels.
>>62160531
Lucky Luke comic was/is a big thing.
>mfw all those racial stereotypes
French/Belgian comics are so based
>Historian Frederick Jackson Turner in his "Frontier Thesis" (1893) theorized that the frontier was a process that transformed Europeans into a new people, the Americans, whose values focused on equality, democracy, and optimism, as well as individualism, self-reliance, and even violence. Thus, Turner's Frontier Thesis proclaimed the westward frontier as the defining process of American history.
What do we think lads?
>>62162069
It has happened, Victorian England is one if you've ever watched an Ivory Merchant film, WWII, Vietnam, historic epics (Rome, Greece, Egypt) Biblical movies, the Middle Ages, even fucking pirates... My own country has it's own genre parallel to Western (ranchero) and obviously some more which are specific to us just like every country in the world has...
>>62162967
I live in the suburbs though, not the frontier.
I would obey the law of course. Criminals had a short life back then.
>>62159473
Then he would die of being an awfully written character
>>62163263
It wasn't Tarantino's best work, but I think he owed the guy a good german part after Inglorious Bastards in which he pretty much plays the one well written character.
>>62163598
>It wasn't Tarantino's best work
That's not Pulp fiction
>>62163726
Tarantino is consistently good at writing dialogue but as a director he can be inconsistent. Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill are god tier so considering that's a good half of his work it isn't a bad record, the rest are all worth watching even if not exactly good films. Here's one of his best dialogues in a movie he did not direct.
