girlstar Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 :rolleyes: I'd rather live here than America. I've been there once though, I was like 5 but I just remember there being a lot of fat people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soleil Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Do you call "have a jumbo popcorn for only a quarter more" culture?? I think USA is like the only country that doesn't have a real culture :confused: :stunned: I dont know about the 'rest of the US'... but NYC has plenty of 'culture'.... *hmmph* America is beautiful... but, as far as 'traditional' stuff... I wish we had more of that stuff.. good thread... yeah, i know, i wonder who made it.. this was back in the day when there were discussions.. wow.. there are a lot of fat people here who wear gym shoes. yay! go stereotypes! my russian coworkers were talking about that the other day. american women who wear sneakers even if they are in business attire. that's more fashion than culture i guess. i would think the most traditional you could get here would be something like celebrating thanksgiving every year. or independence day. this really is a melting pot - my parents aren't originally from the states, so i have a lot of influence from other cultures as well.

Reilly Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 :rolleyes: I'd rather live here than America. I've been there once though, I was like 5 but I just remember there being a lot of fat people. I'll agree with Girlstar there, I seriously do think that Australia is the best country in the world (And I aint even been there). Ireland, is a really cool place to visit, but I live here. And when you live in Ireland, you find yourself only being involved in circling the area that you live around, its kind of the Irish way. What I do like about Ireland is the culture. It even used to exist on TV (Gay Byrne's Late Show was really in touch with what goes on in Ireland, the show would last like 3 or 4 hours with random, interesting guests who didnt specifically have to talk about news items) but it still exists totally through Ireland. For how long? It will get less and less, old whitewashed Irish houses will get knocked down, but there will always be annoying traditional music and dancing, which annoys me specifically but I like it being around generally. What I gather about America is a whole lot of fake culture which really doesnt mean anything, and doesnt relate to anybody. "The American Dream" for example, the thought that if you have a good idea you can become a millionaire from it. Sure, without 30 huge companys putting a variable on your idea, or blatantly stealing it from you when you dont have a copyright. I guess Bill Gates billion dollar idea, was to steal from everyone who had million dollar ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mycdplayerisbroke Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 you said it not me anyway, the average "poor" person in the states has: a job, a car, a house, a tv, a radio, and a fridge. but instead of a war on terrorism, liberals want a war on poverty :idea2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvargas Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 America is great...yah maybe we don't have one definite culture, but that is really because everyone comes from so many places...I think that is what makes America really great... actually I think in Australia it is like that too...but then again I don't know, cause I am not from there...but I think there was an influx of a lot of foreigners... America is such an new country compartive to other countries... "Culture" can be traditional things (food, music, architecture) or it can be current trends/ideas...yah maybe that isn't really culture, rather ways of living but that is what makes each country unique.
