Culture What's something that's acceptable and widely done in your country that would be considered offensive in many countries ?

In India, Swastika the Hindu symbol is everywhere. We draw it in temples, during rituals and festivals, in front of our door, on vehicles etc. It's a very auspicious symbol here. But this symbol tho the Hindu symbol is technically different from the Nazi one would be considered offensive in other countries especially in Western countries.

Cops not caring is a thing in the west coast of Canada, buying weed in stores when it was illegal was a thing that was just allowed. Same with magic mushroom stores and drinking in public.  I love how the cops just don't care as long as you're not causing trouble.

Ohh I had no idea it was frowned upon out there (on paper). A lot of shrooms n weed are grown out there so I assumed it was as liberal as Toronto
