In Another Thread...

Is an illustration of American culture (really character), or something Americans are rather proud of: Compassion.

In the German POW's in America thread (WWII Forum), which I highly recommend, are links to the stories of German soldiers captured in North Africa. They eventually were housed in the American interior. The story of Lake Wabaunsee camp held my attention and ate up a good hour of my employer's time this AM. (and you miscreants took another hour this PM).

Farmers in Kansas treated the POW's well (in the main), made sure they were well-fed, clothed, and reached a level of trust and cooperation.

It didn't hurt that many of the farmers were of German extraction. But still, these boys, harmless or not, had just come from shooting at their sons.

Americans like to do that. Rise above the baser instincts and prove themselves surprisingly (and rather modestly) noble.

I'd be happy to deliver one, but I think it might be warm by the time I arrived. :cheers1:

Which reminds me of another fine thing America has introduced to the world: delivered food. In fact, standards of customer service generally. It's certainly an approach that would be nice to see in many establishments over here.

American culture has given us pizzas that are superior to Italy's.

On the other hand, American culture has given us some truly awful beers. That's changing, though.

It certainly is. My favourite beer in the world (and I've had quite a few) comes from Oregon.

Are you kidding? Lots of them want to get drunk. And that's yet another aspect of American culture:

-- Drinking alcohol specifically to get drunk.

Nein, mein Liebling ... it's the Germans who brought massive beer consumption to the rest of us, and I'm grateful for it.

VERY true

Most American beer is horse wizz. Thank goodness that's changing.
I love Bavarian Weiss bier.

 

[Lincsong]

I never like beer. I guess all those sips I used to take when I was 6 and 7 left a bad taste in my mouth for it.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Well, pass me your bottle, then!

Another aspect of American culture:
