Where whilst having sex as the guy reaches climax he pulls out, shouts "draw", and "shoots" all over her face Urban Dictionary

The culture that goes along with the capitalist system and those that consume in it. It mainly consists of douchebags with phones, dumbfuck optimistic yoga bitches, controlling, but caring and loving parents, "politically-correct" "ethicists", and nerds. There's a lot more too it, since many of the people have a diverse array of psychological problems and childhood extravagancy and "rational" people who know nothing about philosophy. This is one of two atheistic cultures that branched off from Asian and eastern European atheism and one turned to hedonism and the other turned to rationalism. It's a shame that the communists lost. They had ideas that were ahead of their time. The capitalists had more money because the pursuit of hedonism means the pursuit of wealth, while the communists only got the wealth they needed. Traditional cultures base their society on beliefs, and without deliberation, a culture with beliefs will be less likely to have those with radical ideas, like capitalism and communism. Capitalism favors the majority's human needs and desires while leaving out everybody else and nonconformists. Communism is based on what our needs are and follows rationality and demands total conformity. Capitalization is like 'eh, take it or leave it'. Urban Dictionary
