    A Question To All Europeans and Canadians...

    I was just wondering if Americans were the only Philosophically Pragmatic people in this world like my old U.S. History Professor explained. Now that I can reach out globally, I want to know.

    Here's the question:
    You just bought a brand new bicycle and brought it home from the shop un-assembled. You break out the peices and tools and start to put it together. You get the bicycle complete but there are a couple of loose pieces left over. The bicycle looks to be operational and in good working order but there are pieces left over.

    Do you:
    A) Rip the bicycle apart and rebuild it to see where the left over parts went.
    B) Say screw it, if the bike works then the peices are useless anyway.

    Does the end really justify the means?

            Bingo.

            I tend to make serious effort to do something right the first time. If I actually thought I had missed a step or two I would certainly consider disassembling everything and doing it again though.

            May as well do something right, or not do it at all.

              I'd look at the instructions a few time and try to remember, inspect the bike a bit and then figure it out.

                Of course, my other answer to this question might go something like this:

                The answer is C.

                C) I would take the unassembled bike over to the bike shop I deal with, and would pay their expert to put it together. I'm a webmaster, not a bike mechanic.

                  If it all looked fine and I can't see anything missed in the guide, than I am choose B!

                    could be yes could be no. for me it would depend on what the pieces looked like, if they looked like they were a functional part of the bike or something superficial - if i decided that the parts didn't look important i'd forget about em.

                      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                            Pragmatism is the ONLY Philosophy Americans have ever developed!!! It's rooted in America and Americans ARE pragmatic. Historically, Europreans and Canadians aren't hence my question.

                            Did you actually look the word up before replying?
