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.

/of sorts. Culture in general. And more specifically, American culture. Mats Gambling Buddy - 04/10/2010 07:32:29 PM 1090 Views

When I think of American Culture... Jeordam - 04/10/2010 08:29:09 PM 857 Views
just a list? random thoughts - 04/10/2010 08:31:19 PM 792 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 325 Views
How about traditional American values? Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 01:43:07 AM 938 Views
isn't that a bit misleading? draggie - 05/10/2010 07:52:18 AM 869 Views
I never said they were unique to American culture Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 716 Views

I don't live in Gary. nossy - 06/10/2010 04:25:36 AM 820 Views
It's part of IN though. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:30:23 AM 839 Views

Word (concept) association with "American culture" Helene - 05/10/2010 09:57:07 AM 772 Views
i think those are pretty indicative word associations. *NM* LadyLorraine - 05/10/2010 03:08:08 PM 332 Views
Indicative of what? *NM* Helene - 05/10/2010 08:47:44 PM 361 Views
american culture? LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:27 AM 770 Views
Some of that may be more European than American culture. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:20:16 AM 742 Views
every other animal leaves it on the ground. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:00 AM 750 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 845 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 803 Views
My whole point there was that most US nature parks are tourist attractions. Joel - 06/10/2010 06:37:00 AM 756 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 798 Views
And everything's bigger in TX.... Joel - 06/10/2010 09:44:11 AM 778 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 323 Views
But circumcision is a hot topic in the US Helene - 06/10/2010 05:42:25 AM 802 Views
It is? Joel - 06/10/2010 06:51:31 AM 840 Views
You're wrong about the default for circumcision the world over Helene - 06/10/2010 07:44:40 AM 819 Views
That surprises me, but alright. Joel - 06/10/2010 10:00:14 AM 775 Views
It is indeed only prevalent among Jews and Muslims - and the old British empire. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:38:07 AM 840 Views
And, apparently, most of Africa. Joel - 06/10/2010 11:46:32 AM 965 Views
I really don't think it is much of a hot topic here random thoughts - 06/10/2010 09:37:50 PM 962 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 660 Views
You make a good point about tipping BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 09:58:10 AM 786 Views
I disagree - surely tipping is much more internationally widespread than some others in that list. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:43:32 AM 739 Views
Re: I disagree BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 07:41:14 PM 871 Views
I don't think I disagree with that. nossy - 05/10/2010 02:57:36 PM 825 Views
btw, I obviously think this is a good post. Fun. nossy - 05/10/2010 03:21:21 PM 746 Views
sounds a lot like the America I know *NM* random thoughts - 05/10/2010 05:55:27 PM 345 Views
Is the first part of that statement even true? Palatine - 05/10/2010 04:45:36 PM 724 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 761 Views
