/Portugal/

Why is Portugal such a sophisticated, highly cultured country despite being poor?

They have an amazing history and a progressive present.

ARABS

Best women too

I want a portuguese qt lads
I'm usually not into southern euro girls but portuguese girls have something special. Just chill girls instead of the hot headed girls from other southern european countries

Pls portugal send qt I will treat her well :3

Alright, I get this thread's topic: post Portuguese girls.

I know this is trying to be a Portugal cuties thread but can it also be a Galician cuties thread? Their Celt roots giving them that pale skin look and their totally not Portuguese language makes me fall in love with them.

Portugas suck galician dick like no one, they probably have tons of folders of galician girls and men. More men I hope because the girls are terrible.

t. galician

Damn. That sucks. So are the women shit as in they're vapid or something?

Still searching for the portuguese Robin cosplayer from the Portugal - Poland game

those are just the uneducated white trash that live in some 40 people village and shitpost about northern portugal being the best.

You have us to thank, we civilised you, and you managed to surpass all other Europeans. You're welcome akhi.

You know your shit, no wonder you guys made great Caliphs.

>Their Celt roots giving them that pale skin look
KEK, you should use google more often.

>bahrain
hum,but you were part of our empire nigga...

Why do Finland and the rest of Scandinavia have so much money and are so developed despite having no history and culture?

Literally don't know a thing about Portugal. Such an irrelevant country

they got taken out by a big ass earthquake in the 18th century.

Thanks to us. What comes around goes around, what comes around goes around. If we didn't come on you, you wouldnt have come on us.

who cares though?i'm as irrelevant as you

yeah right, I remember reading in our history books how our soldiers baptised your woman with cum and said it was holy water...

>Arabs
>civilising anyone
Arabs were (and still are) a bunch of savages who barely managed to imitate a few civilised habits from Romans, Persians and Jews. Nothing more. Arabs don't even have a culture other than goat-banging. Everything is copied from neighbours.

I guess we copied goat banging from your romans. rich coming from croatia, famous for being conquered.

Nothing in your post is factual.

Probably propaganda, there are zero christians here, even then if they were baptised by semen, they probably wouldn't be Christian so it's okay my friend. Anyway, I can't wait for your country to accept Islam again, last time you did it was too easy, took you 700 years to remove us. :3

ola

We had almost no non Christian colonies. Just like Spain did for a while, and England, and Fra-

Oh. Great fucking job, France.

You had Goa

Which was never properly colonised, just economically controlled, and we had a castle there filled with Portuguese, who were all Christian. the outskirts mattered little with the exception of the ship docks.

Read their history, it's even more unfortunate tier than Hungarys

How does being good at soccer mean theyre sophisticated or have good culture?

Fucking D. Sebastião and him having to live up to his forefathers. Could've waited 10 years, but decided not to. Oh well, at least we brought Spain down as well by refusing to commandeer our fleet against the Brits.

Does Arab culture influence your people at all btw? Do you learn a lot about it in school and so on? I can't say people know alot about the Portuguese here sadly.

I was referring more to the fe riches to rags sagas. Especially involving Brazil.

>>Age of Empires 2 decides to make memes
the worst of it all

>Spain lucks into the throne by marrying some second cousin bullshit
Actually, the Battle of Ponta Delgada is the real reason Felipe II became your king.
Stop this "marrying bullshit". We have France, England, Netherlands and your rebels on our asses and fucked the bunch of you.
You didn't have "bad luck" there, you just couldn't stop Felipe II.
And it wasn't you not wanting to attack Brits, it was the failed invasion of your country in the 1700s that ultimately destroyed the Spanish army going into the 1800s.

Our history starts in the year 868 and follows a constant exponential glorious progression.We learn about the reconquista and the conquest of ceuta and that's eveyrthing we learn about the muslims.
You'll probably have a better time asking the spaniards as they had more time interacting with the shitskins you are

Can you shut the fuck up?Filipe was the legitimate heir after Sebastian,you had portuguese supporters and all which were the majority.
The king respected our kingdom and his empire was made of the kingdom of portugal and spain

Calm down Beyoncé

No. We raped Arabs in our country to help populate the southern states, and left most of the men flee back to Spain, so we have some moor blood. There's absolutely no Muslim culture though, as every mixed person was raised christian, and besides the initial women, there was no more Muslim blood input into our genealogy.

I guess we have some architecture in the south took some ideas from Arab architecture by having white houses with flat tops to help cool down in the hot summers, but that's about it.

All our expansion was made in name of Christianity and we made a point of always helping natives (building their stuff and trading with them) when they took to Christianity, and killed the few who refused (Muslim, African Pagans, Native Americans, etc). The Spanish killed some to instil fear, but we traded with them to exert control instead, like Christian drug dealers, particularly in Brazil, which is why they remained mostly together, since a lot of them were not killed.

We have 0.3% Muslim population though, one of the lowest of Europe. Even when the refugees came (300 of them, only) last year, we put them in a town with pic related at the centre square, and some have since left because they feel "unwelcome".

Brazil happened during the 2/3 stupid kings phase, who bought stupid shit instead of coal and iron with it.

>you had Portuguese supporters
This. You won with some of OUR help. Mostly because those opposed to it had died in Alcacer Quibir because of our young king.

>Can you shut the fuck up?
No, I won't shut the fuck up because you keep parroting that "you got unlucky" when it was simply that Portugal could not oppose Felipe II, as couldn't France, England and the Netherlands.
So much talking and posting battles macros images but you shitheads can't take the fact that you lost your country with all of your friends helping you out.

Ah alright, so your history starts around the same time we come in? Huh, so I guess we did civilised your ancestors my brother.

>we did civilised
Negře, prosím

You cant even use a toilet properly without leaving a fetid mess everyone

you?
you're east-arabic,you're curved nosed shitskin fuck.you're not part of the great maghrebi race the greatest arab race ever

If you want to be inseminated by white europeans just ask

Motherfucker, we had no noble man left. You won against us with the help from the Moors 2 years before, and some jewy interest cousins.

Which is why 60 years later we fucked off with the descendants of pic related, our greatest general.

>utterly btfo every European power to gain the throne of Portugal
>i-it doesn't count becaause I say s-so! Let me post this other battle that has nothing to do with anything to prove you wrong!
Thank the Catalanes for revolting and helping your cause indirectly.
Let me ask you something: do you also believe the Borbones "got lucky"? No they won a war, there was no luck involved.

Yeah, fine. You got lucky almost all our men and leaders died, and half of the remaining ones decided to join you.

Good job on "conquering" a country with 1/4th the size for 60 years, when we were down.

It's 4-1, then, I believe.

>Why do Finland and the rest of Scandinavia have so much money and are so developed despite having no history and culture?

We don't have a lot of money, we're just highly taxed which pays for everything. We're also socialist which means that there are no poor people starving on the streets and homelessness is near impossible.

You have to be a total alcoholic anti help person to end up homeless on the street here. There's even homes for recovering alcoholics to live in.

I was once told by a Scandinavian person (maybe Danish, I honestly can't remember) that a lot of your younger people were getting spoiled by it, and going into soft sciences and humanities at college, leaving you with a deficit of engineers and economists.

Is this true? Because we send a whole fucking lot of engineers up there.

>You got lucky almost all our men and leaders died, and half of the remaining ones decided to join you.
Let me translate this:
>You didn't get lucky because you beat England, Netherlands, France and my country's rebels and got the throne of my country by sheer right of war
I didn't say we "conquered" you, I said Spain didn't get lucky, specially when beating the lot of you in an almost 3 to 1 open water battle.
Actually, if you count the Guerra de las Naranjas it's 4-2, and if you count Ceuta and Olivenza, 4-2,5.
You see, I didn't start this to bash Portugal ,but to stop this meme that Spain did rightfully gain the throne of Portugal.
Do you want me to start posting GDPs and foreign investments so that I can also use something we destroy you in? Because I can assure you that wasn't the point of my original post.

>Even when the refugees came (300 of them, only) last year, we put them in a town with pic related at the centre square, and some have since left because they feel "unwelcome".
BASED

Coat of arms of the city is this one.

Also, a lot of our cuisine involved pork (we are the only country that eats the whole animal).

Might be true in Denmark since they are dumb but not here. We have a high amount of STEM graduates who are unemployed. A lot of young technology graduates are emigrating to China for higher pay and good funding for Finnish tech startups there.

Many people here get educated for unemployment :( STEM is a meme though....

...

>tfw no catholic Portuguese gf

I wish I had a qt northern portuguese gf 2bh

>northern

The meme is not real. I've travelled up and down the country several times.

Portugal is fucking great, I went to Porto once, it's better than BR in every fucking aspect, I would give anything to live there ;_;

WHAT? sophisticated? highly cultured?

ahahahaha
have you ever been to this country? fucking hell man. is this bait? it has to be right?

We'r fucking dumb as hell. Like...there are people that go by foot once a yer to a place where some 3 little children saw the Virgin Mary in 1917

There are more people applying to reality shows than university

1 out of every 23 portuguese can't fucking read ffs!!!!!

Televison is just football, football, football. Every single day of the week.

We're a shithole. The biggest problem of this country is the that it has way too much portuguese living in it.

brb learning Portuguese

>Like...there are people that go by foot once a yer to a place where some 3 little children saw the Virgin Mary in 1917

My lady... *tips*

>1 out of every 23 portuguese can't fucking read ffs!!!!!

It's a shame that one out of two can't write proper English.

>Television is just football, football, football.

Why, my fair lady. I am a man of culture too. Nothing beats a glass of Chardonnay while watching film noir after reading my daily dose of Kafka. Good to see erudites on my imageboard.

What are you, a fag?

...

that girl literally looks like a moor wtf

Moor looking girls are the best

I'd live in Portugal if it weren't for the fact that a good amount of the Portuguese don't like or have some prejudice towards Brazilians. I don't even blame them, since most of the Brazilians that end up there are retarded and obnoxious.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I think that Portugal is the European country where Brazilians have the worst reputation. I still want to travel there though, the country seems absolutely beautiful.

And i wang brazilians in my Country aswell,we need them to counter our decreasing population abd actually alot of brazilians here are your average white guy/gal.we have alot of brs doings vlogs in Portugal.

I love Portugal, only visited Porto, Guimares, Lisboa, and a few smaller towns like Batalha but the country amazed me and BTFO Spain, at least visit wise. I loved in Spain for 6 months and went back to Portugal as many times as I could.

>Even Spanish people admit that Portuguese people are nicer than them
>People actually speak English and a variety of other languages with a fantastic capacity unlike the hamniggers
>Amazing food, like I gained 10 lbs in a few days from gorging on every variety of bacalhau, sardinhas, charred octopus, tripas do porto, chourico, ginja, vinho verde, and pasteis de nata
>Beautiful countryside
>Beautiful architecture, cosmopolitan cities (with a lot of character)
>Great weather
>Cheap as fuck, which is a boon and a bane for the codnigs
>Fascinating culture

Honestly loved it so much, I've never felt so welcomed as I had by the local people as I did in Portugal. Maybe it was because I tried to speak Portuguese (badly) but I've never seen people treat tourists like they do.

It would only matter until your accent was mostly gone. The prejudice we have is that your accents sound funny to us. Beyond that, there's no hatred or disrespect, I don't think.

Just don't come here without a diploma or the intention to get one, tough, or you'll be forced to work in a shitty restaurant or something in a blue collar job, which might make people hate you for the same reasons Americans hate Mexicans, and you might get exploited because of Visa shit.

You might have to hear some of the same repeated somewhat condescending jokes. You might get asked to cook. We love a lot of Brazilian food.

>Maybe it was because I tried to speak Portuguese (badly)
That'll do it. We only really want to be acknowledged as "once was important to the world we have today". Not unlike your grandpa who fought in a war. Do that, and you'll get treated nicely in most non-touristy towns.

>we have alot of brs doings vlogs in Portugal.
lmao wat
Link me one of them, please.

>The Spanish killed some to instil fear, but we traded with them to exert control instead, like Christian drug dealers, particularly in Brazil, which is why they remained mostly together, since a lot of them were not killed.
What? Brazil didn't balkanize mainly because of our monarchy. The natives had nothing to do with that, in fact they were pretty much irrelevant at that point.
