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 750 Views
just a list? random thoughts - 04/10/2010 08:31:19 PM 685 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 277 Views
How about traditional American values? Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 01:43:07 AM 833 Views
isn't that a bit misleading? draggie - 05/10/2010 07:52:18 AM 765 Views
I never said they were unique to American culture Darth_Katie - 05/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 621 Views

I don't live in Gary. nossy - 06/10/2010 04:25:36 AM 708 Views
It's part of IN though. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:30:23 AM 739 Views

Word (concept) association with "American culture" Helene - 05/10/2010 09:57:07 AM 668 Views
i think those are pretty indicative word associations. *NM* LadyLorraine - 05/10/2010 03:08:08 PM 285 Views
Indicative of what? *NM* Helene - 05/10/2010 08:47:44 PM 311 Views
american culture? LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:27 AM 670 Views
Some of that may be more European than American culture. Joel - 06/10/2010 04:20:16 AM 637 Views
every other animal leaves it on the ground. LadyLorraine - 06/10/2010 04:50:00 AM 645 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 748 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 656 Views
My whole point there was that most US nature parks are tourist attractions. Joel - 06/10/2010 06:37:00 AM 654 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 693 Views
And everything's bigger in TX.... Joel - 06/10/2010 09:44:11 AM 652 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 267 Views
But circumcision is a hot topic in the US Helene - 06/10/2010 05:42:25 AM 693 Views
It is? Joel - 06/10/2010 06:51:31 AM 735 Views
You're wrong about the default for circumcision the world over Helene - 06/10/2010 07:44:40 AM 703 Views
That surprises me, but alright. Joel - 06/10/2010 10:00:14 AM 660 Views
It is indeed only prevalent among Jews and Muslims - and the old British empire. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:38:07 AM 734 Views
And, apparently, most of Africa. Joel - 06/10/2010 11:46:32 AM 861 Views
I really don't think it is much of a hot topic here random thoughts - 06/10/2010 09:37:50 PM 843 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 553 Views
You make a good point about tipping BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 09:58:10 AM 677 Views
I disagree - surely tipping is much more internationally widespread than some others in that list. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:43:32 AM 648 Views
Re: I disagree BlackAdder - 06/10/2010 07:41:14 PM 764 Views
I don't think I disagree with that. nossy - 05/10/2010 02:57:36 PM 727 Views
btw, I obviously think this is a good post. Fun. nossy - 05/10/2010 03:21:21 PM 635 Views
sounds a lot like the America I know *NM* random thoughts - 05/10/2010 05:55:27 PM 295 Views
Is the first part of that statement even true? Palatine - 05/10/2010 04:45:36 PM 612 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 653 Views
