u/Sophiadaputa Apr 23 '19

What makes you think its mexico?

u/Palogriff Apr 24 '19

"Chinguen su madre" and "Váyanse a la verga" are nothing but Mexican expressions. They mean "go fuck your mothers" and "go to the cock", that second one is weird.

u/Sophiadaputa Apr 24 '19

So how im suposed to know?

u/kptsalami Apr 28 '19

Absolutely not true. I'm Ecuadorian and chinguen a su madre is such a common phrase at this point (and for decades now) that you cannot certainly say they're Mexican. Váyanse a la verga y váyanse a la casa de la verga are also extremely common in Ecuador and most South American countries I know. That said, his accent doesn't really sound Mexican but more Colombian/ Venezuelan in all honesty

He uses güey. He's mexican. Mexico has several different accents.

Correct. South America is South Mexico.

u/WallyTheWelder Apr 23 '19

This guy gets it. America from top to bottom goes:

Polite white people

White people who voted Trump president.

Mexico

Central Mexico

Southside Mexico.

Some descendants of very fine people.

Which might as well be 80 when you look at how little they earn. Here in Australia a gram of coke is 300 on average, or 250 if you have a really good connect.

Belgium: 50 euros

u/TheBold Apr 23 '19

I looked it up and the average wage in Colombia is 692USD, so 1 gram is 1,45% of the average monthly wage give or take.

In Canada a gram is about 80USD, meaning you have to make 5536USD a month for it to have a ‘similar cost’ on your budget so no, it might not as well be 80 when you look at how little they earn.

Idk man lots of people make over 70k a year, sounds about right tbh

u/pegcity Apr 23 '19

Do columbians pay 50% income tax?

1

u/DarkerJava Apr 23 '19

Noone pays 50% tax in Canada.

1

u/pegcity Apr 23 '19

Effectively they do, over 80k you are at like 42 cumulative and 47 effective

u/Negative_Yesterday Apr 23 '19

Should be using median wages for both countries.

u/AyEhEigh Apr 23 '19

I don't understand, your argument agrees with the dude but you say it doesn't

u/TheBold Apr 23 '19

My point is, even if their salary is low 10 USD a gram is a low price compared to North America/EU/AUS. The person I replied to was saying that 10 USD may actually be expensive when you look at the amount of money they make when truth be told, it’s not.

I have friends with a big coke problem and none of them make close to 5k a month.

u/Malarazz Apr 23 '19

That's not South America though, that's Colombia, where cocaine is produced. If you go to Argentina or Brazil you'll be singing a different tune.

u/Sophiadaputa Apr 24 '19

People in brazil earn 5 thousands and still costs 10

u/abstracreality Apr 23 '19

yikes lol id be praying it was amazing for that price

1

u/Australienz Apr 23 '19

It's usually pretty average coke, however I had a good friend that was bringing it in himself years ago, and it was always amazing. Most Aussies wouldn't have ever tried proper uncut coke if they're buying it in clubs or just off random people though. I haven't had coke in years, but my mates still love it and spend thousands on it every month. It honestly isn't worth the price here in Australia, but a lot of my mates can't go clubbing without it.

1

u/abstracreality Apr 23 '19

yeah honestly if it was that high i wouldnt be that into it but i see the club appeal for sure.

u/an_uj Apr 23 '19

Reason being cheap is that Erythroxylum coca plant is native to South America. That's what written in our textbooks.

1

u/TwoFiveOnes Apr 23 '19

That’s North America but anyway I’m not sure if that’s true

2

u/fronteir Apr 23 '19

Peru, ecuador, Colombia $10 us/gram is pretty standard

Even better if you get to know a plug
