Yeah, but even the "bigger is better" thing isn't purely American; we just took to an extreme. Joel Send a noteboard - 06/10/2010 05:06:27 AM
mother nature is well equipped to handle feces.

The other animals don't come from all over the nation and world to visit that one site. Tell the truth, when's the last time you saw a bear manning a ranger station at the Grand Canyon? ;)

When I think of American Culture... Jeordam - 04/10/2010 08:29:09 PM 837 Views
just a list? random thoughts - 04/10/2010 08:31:19 PM 776 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 317 Views
How about traditional American values? Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 01:43:07 AM 919 Views
isn't that a bit misleading? draggie - 05/10/2010 07:52:18 AM 856 Views
I never said they were unique to American culture Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 702 Views

Word (concept) association with "American culture" Helene - 05/10/2010 09:57:07 AM 757 Views
i think those are pretty indicative word associations. *NM* LadyLorraine - 05/10/2010 03:08:08 PM 325 Views
Indicative of what? *NM* Helene - 05/10/2010 08:47:44 PM 351 Views
american culture? LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:27 AM 752 Views
Some of that may be more European than American culture. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:20:16 AM 725 Views
every other animal leaves it on the ground. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:00 AM 732 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 825 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 784 Views
My whole point there was that most US nature parks are tourist attractions. Joel - 06/10/2010 06:37:00 AM 737 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 775 Views
And everything's bigger in TX.... Joel - 06/10/2010 09:44:11 AM 760 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 313 Views
But circumcision is a hot topic in the US Helene - 06/10/2010 05:42:25 AM 780 Views
It is? Joel - 06/10/2010 06:51:31 AM 819 Views
You're wrong about the default for circumcision the world over Helene - 06/10/2010 07:44:40 AM 797 Views
That surprises me, but alright. Joel - 06/10/2010 10:00:14 AM 760 Views
It is indeed only prevalent among Jews and Muslims - and the old British empire. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:38:07 AM 828 Views
And, apparently, most of Africa. Joel - 06/10/2010 11:46:32 AM 949 Views
I really don't think it is much of a hot topic here random thoughts - 06/10/2010 09:37:50 PM 942 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 645 Views
You make a good point about tipping BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 09:58:10 AM 766 Views
I disagree - surely tipping is much more internationally widespread than some others in that list. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:43:32 AM 727 Views
Re: I disagree BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 07:41:14 PM 850 Views
I don't think I disagree with that. nossy - 05/10/2010 02:57:36 PM 812 Views
btw, I obviously think this is a good post. Fun. nossy - 05/10/2010 03:21:21 PM 729 Views

Is the first part of that statement even true? Palatine - 05/10/2010 04:45:36 PM 701 Views
Hm. Interesting. Mats Gambling Buddy - 05/10/2010 05:43:19 PM 680 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 745 Views
