Americans have their culture, but its hard to pinpoint exactly what it is, because of the fact that so many groups exist within.

I have seen Jews living like they are in Jerusalem (in New York)

I have seen gays living like they are in San Francisco ( in New York lol)

I have seen the fervent Christians and their activists in the West ( Nevada )

I have seen Latinos speaking only their language and not mingling or minding mainstream America one bit.

So its hard to pinpoint exactly what IS America? Because to assume what we see out of Hollywood to be America is a bad assumption.
Everyday I thank God I escaped from the Starcraft universe when I did. Saved so many hours of my life.

America is the only country the executes children under the law. 1/100 adults in jail. 1% of their population have like 80% of the wealth. The only country to ever drop nuclear weapons. First country to make nukes.

Best way to end any bragging rights conversation.


I don't know. There's some excesses in American culture I don't like, but I really can't complain too loud. Most of my music and movies and books comes from the US. I might critique what I get to listen, watch, and read- but I still enjoy a fair amount of it.

Am i doing this right?


Sending a guy on a glorified rollercoaster.

Sending a man to walk on the face of another planet.


Not entirely the same thing.



Ya, the Russians probably just punched in some numbers in a little calculator and crossed their fingers when launching...

Nobody sent a man on another planet. And I blame America for this. (You too Russia.) But I have faith in China!
And Russia was more developped space-wise than USA at a point.


And the Mongolians once ruled one of the largest empires in the world. Ergo, they are the mightiest nation in the world?

Ooh wait, past achievements don't count for much when other people improve on them.

As we're talking a certain period known as the Cold war, and that my point stands during the half of this period, I think my sarcasm detector is broken. If not, I'm truly sorry for you. :D

So your point is that the USSR won the space race when they launched the first man into space, rather then when America landed the first man on the moon?

I suppose you can have that point of view. Not a single historian would agree, but 1st amendment rights allow you to be wrong.

As one is not enough for you, I shall point another time :

im like 99 percent sure we import culture lol. our culture is a melting pot of other culture or maybe our only culture is the jersey shore lol but i can say for sure that we dont lack culture but i suppose its a question of "what is culture exactly"

America has culture no doubt, but I'd say it's hard to narrow down an exact definition due to its size, multiculturalism, and age.
My view of American culture is that consumerism has made it rather boring.

I don't know - if it gets popular in Turkey first and then spreads to the rest of the world, then maybe it's your culture. Maybe not? Things travel too fast now.
