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. | ||

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. | ||

Ooh wait, past achievements don't count for much when other people improve on them. Watching people twist and bend to make good things rubber, bad things glue, is almost like watching Houdini escape his chains. | ||

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 | ||

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

I'll quote myself : And Russia was more developped space-wise than USA at a point. As one is not enough for you, I shall point another time : and that my point stands during the half of this period | ||

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. | ||
