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 1091 Views

When I think of American Culture... Jeordam - 04/10/2010 08:29:09 PM 859 Views
just a list? random thoughts - 04/10/2010 08:31:19 PM 794 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 328 Views
How about traditional American values? Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 01:43:07 AM 940 Views
isn't that a bit misleading? draggie - 05/10/2010 07:52:18 AM 870 Views
I never said they were unique to American culture Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 718 Views

I don't live in Gary. nossy - 06/10/2010 04:25:36 AM 822 Views
It's part of IN though. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:30:23 AM 841 Views

Word (concept) association with "American culture" Helene - 05/10/2010 09:57:07 AM 774 Views
i think those are pretty indicative word associations. *NM* LadyLorraine - 05/10/2010 03:08:08 PM 333 Views
Indicative of what? *NM* Helene - 05/10/2010 08:47:44 PM 362 Views
american culture? LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:27 AM 771 Views
Some of that may be more European than American culture. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:20:16 AM 743 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 846 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 805 Views
My whole point there was that most US nature parks are tourist attractions. Joel - 06/10/2010 06:37:00 AM 758 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 799 Views
And everything's bigger in TX.... Joel - 06/10/2010 09:44:11 AM 779 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 324 Views
But circumcision is a hot topic in the US Helene - 06/10/2010 05:42:25 AM 804 Views
It is? Joel - 06/10/2010 06:51:31 AM 842 Views
You're wrong about the default for circumcision the world over Helene - 06/10/2010 07:44:40 AM 821 Views
That surprises me, but alright. Joel - 06/10/2010 10:00:14 AM 776 Views
It is indeed only prevalent among Jews and Muslims - and the old British empire. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:38:07 AM 841 Views
And, apparently, most of Africa. Joel - 06/10/2010 11:46:32 AM 966 Views
I really don't think it is much of a hot topic here random thoughts - 06/10/2010 09:37:50 PM 964 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 662 Views
You make a good point about tipping BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 09:58:10 AM 787 Views
I disagree - surely tipping is much more internationally widespread than some others in that list. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:43:32 AM 740 Views
Re: I disagree BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 07:41:14 PM 873 Views
I don't think I disagree with that. nossy - 05/10/2010 02:57:36 PM 826 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 725 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 762 Views
