Is the first part of that statement even true? Palatine Send a noteboard - 05/10/2010 04:45:36 PM
Human beings are incomplete or unfinished animals who complete themselves through culture...


Are humans "incomplete or unfinished?" Decide if that is true before you even begin to deal with the culture question.

When I think of American Culture... Jeordam - 04/10/2010 08:29:09 PM 813 Views
just a list? random thoughts - 04/10/2010 08:31:19 PM 753 Views
I think of how the Rockies and Appalachians were created by MGB and Chuck Norris wrestling. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 05/10/2010 12:57:31 AM 305 Views
How about traditional American values? Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 01:43:07 AM 898 Views
isn't that a bit misleading? draggie - 05/10/2010 07:52:18 AM 831 Views
I never said they were unique to American culture Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 680 Views

Word (concept) association with "American culture" Helene - 05/10/2010 09:57:07 AM 735 Views
i think those are pretty indicative word associations. *NM* LadyLorraine - 05/10/2010 03:08:08 PM 314 Views
Indicative of what? *NM* Helene - 05/10/2010 08:47:44 PM 340 Views
american culture? LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:27 AM 729 Views
Some of that may be more European than American culture. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:20:16 AM 702 Views
every other animal leaves it on the ground. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:00 AM 713 Views
Yeah, but even the "bigger is better" thing isn't purely American; we just took to an extreme. Joel - 06/10/2010 05:06:27 AM 807 Views
really, the part that most people go to at the Canyon isn't really a "nature park" LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 05:33:48 AM 732 Views
My whole point there was that most US nature parks are tourist attractions. Joel - 06/10/2010 06:37:00 AM 717 Views
Nothing's purely anything, but you guys've got the The World's Biggest [everything] over there. (beat.) - 06/10/2010 07:14:55 AM 757 Views
And everything's bigger in TX.... Joel - 06/10/2010 09:44:11 AM 724 Views
with your medical training you really want to advocate leaving it on the ground? *NM* random thoughts - 06/10/2010 09:30:57 PM 302 Views
But circumcision is a hot topic in the US Helene - 06/10/2010 05:42:25 AM 762 Views
It is? Joel - 06/10/2010 06:51:31 AM 799 Views
You're wrong about the default for circumcision the world over Helene - 06/10/2010 07:44:40 AM 771 Views
That surprises me, but alright. Joel - 06/10/2010 10:00:14 AM 735 Views
It is indeed only prevalent among Jews and Muslims - and the old British empire. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:38:07 AM 799 Views
And, apparently, most of Africa. Joel - 06/10/2010 11:46:32 AM 921 Views
I really don't think it is much of a hot topic here random thoughts - 06/10/2010 09:37:50 PM 914 Views
I've actually never heard it discussed except for two/three times on the wotmania/rafo boards. TaskmasterJack - 06/10/2010 10:16:50 PM 621 Views
You make a good point about tipping BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 09:58:10 AM 744 Views
I disagree - surely tipping is much more internationally widespread than some others in that list. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:43:32 AM 707 Views
Re: I disagree BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 07:41:14 PM 825 Views
I don't think I disagree with that. nossy - 05/10/2010 02:57:36 PM 787 Views
btw, I obviously think this is a good post. Fun. nossy - 05/10/2010 03:21:21 PM 700 Views

A Scandinavian fond of Creole and Cajun food? I thought my grandmother was the only one... Ghavrel - 05/10/2010 10:30:57 PM 721 Views
