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 879 Views
just a list? random thoughts - 04/10/2010 08:31:19 PM 812 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 336 Views
How about traditional American values? Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 01:43:07 AM 964 Views
isn't that a bit misleading? draggie - 05/10/2010 07:52:18 AM 887 Views
I never said they were unique to American culture Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 747 Views

I don't live in Gary. nossy - 06/10/2010 04:25:36 AM 844 Views
It's part of IN though. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:30:23 AM 858 Views

Word (concept) association with "American culture" Helene - 05/10/2010 09:57:07 AM 795 Views
i think those are pretty indicative word associations. *NM* LadyLorraine - 05/10/2010 03:08:08 PM 344 Views
Indicative of what? *NM* Helene - 05/10/2010 08:47:44 PM 371 Views
american culture? LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:27 AM 787 Views
Some of that may be more European than American culture. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:20:16 AM 775 Views
every other animal leaves it on the ground. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:00 AM 772 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 869 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 826 Views
My whole point there was that most US nature parks are tourist attractions. Joel - 06/10/2010 06:37:00 AM 778 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 816 Views
And everything's bigger in TX.... Joel - 06/10/2010 09:44:11 AM 809 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 348 Views
But circumcision is a hot topic in the US Helene - 06/10/2010 05:42:25 AM 826 Views
It is? Joel - 06/10/2010 06:51:31 AM 865 Views
You're wrong about the default for circumcision the world over Helene - 06/10/2010 07:44:40 AM 844 Views
That surprises me, but alright. Joel - 06/10/2010 10:00:14 AM 797 Views
It is indeed only prevalent among Jews and Muslims - and the old British empire. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:38:07 AM 868 Views
And, apparently, most of Africa. Joel - 06/10/2010 11:46:32 AM 993 Views
I really don't think it is much of a hot topic here random thoughts - 06/10/2010 09:37:50 PM 982 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 682 Views
You make a good point about tipping BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 09:58:10 AM 807 Views
I disagree - surely tipping is much more internationally widespread than some others in that list. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:43:32 AM 762 Views
Re: I disagree BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 07:41:14 PM 899 Views
I don't think I disagree with that. nossy - 05/10/2010 02:57:36 PM 854 Views
btw, I obviously think this is a good post. Fun. nossy - 05/10/2010 03:21:21 PM 774 Views
sounds a lot like the America I know *NM* random thoughts - 05/10/2010 05:55:27 PM 353 Views
Is the first part of that statement even true? Palatine - 05/10/2010 04:45:36 PM 745 Views
Hm. Interesting. Mats Gambling Buddy - 05/10/2010 05:43:19 PM 719 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 783 Views
