What is American Culture?

["Doc" Devereux]

theres nothing to see..i told you soooolol

I wouldn't know, since I can't say I'd paid that particular subject any attention.

If you ever want an interesting read pick up a copy of "How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World and Everything in It"

While you're at it, read "How the Irish Saved Civilization". An excellent book as well ... even if you're not Irish.

You didn't? The Brits are the best at it. It's an veritable artform.

That's correct. The most prudish of the prudes were some of the first british settlers over here.

I'll need a bigger glass, and more beer.

This is starting (starting?) to look like another fine American cultural icon: the 'Road' movies...

 

[KAT]

uummm are you talking about your double moral standards?
well its because your country is a country full of religious people , but even they want to get wild after the door got closed.
But they cant even show african trible women and their nipples on TV :eusa_doh: [huh]


hand me a glass too....please :cheers1:

 

[Marc Chevalier]

So let's add this to the "American Culture" list:

-- Extremely ambivalent attitudes towards sensuality and sexuality. It's either black or white. There's no happy medium.

You didn't? The Brits are the best at it. It's an veritable artform.

[KAT]

That's correct. The most prudish of the prudes were some of the first british settlers over here.
