I don't think I disagree with that. nossy Send a noteboard - 05/10/2010 02:57:36 PM
I mean, you're obviously the you (physically) that you would have been in any place, but you're the you you are because of what's around you. How your parents grew up, what you've lived with, etc. It's fun to think about, really.:D


America changes, but MY America is about small towns and people who generally don't have much responsibility beyond personal. We work hard, don't starve, have fun and make up our own games when we can't afford something better. Fast food and family restaurants, a mixture of awe and skepticism for our "betters."

And the next generation is generally nothing like us.:P These kids in particular are used to getting exactly what they want when they want it (information, games, stimuli), and having the ability to rewind when they didn't get what they wanted straight off. I've already gotten used to having information right there when I want it. Try to live for a day w/o your cell. Or computer.

american culture? - 06/10/2010 04:50:27 AM 773 Views

But circumcision is a hot topic in the US - 06/10/2010 05:42:25 AM 806 Views

It is indeed only prevalent among Jews and Muslims - and the old British empire. - 06/10/2010 10:38:07 AM 845 Views
