If that really is you, then not only are you fucking ugly but your sense of style is in your arse. And I wouldn't be talking "sale rack" if I were you.

Should one take that to mean America lacks style and culture?
America has been a HUGE contributor to world culture the past century. American music, American movies, American food, American celebrities, and American drink are everywhere. Entertainment and food. What could be bigger? Oh, yeah .. television! Born right here in the good old United States of Invention, my friend. Anyone that watches television is partaking in American culture in the same way that anyone in America that eats Spaghetti is partaking in Italian culture.
Hell, kids in Timbuktu know what a Big Mac and a Coke is.
Maybe you don't like Coke.

Are you telling me that a Spanish family watching Spanish television is participating in American culture because they are watching a television?
That's fucking hilarious.Comment

American culture rules the world - this is the thing with almost every European - they still think they are relevant.
Your glory days are waaaaaaay behind you - I know it must be very hard to accept, but you no longer rule the world.Comment

No, Joe. I'm saying that a Spanish family watching Spanish television is participating in American culture because they are watching a television in the same way that an American family eating Spaghetti is participating in Italian culture because they are eating Spaghetti.
Many Europeans love Big Macs and Cokes - despite your personal preferences. Hell, the hamburger itself, despite it's name being similar to that of a German city was invented in America.
But never mind all that. TV is ours. The Movie projectors is ours. The phonograph. The telephone. The modern computer. What kind of culture produces such amazing products? One of innovation and technology. In the same way that Hungarian culture produced a series of great mathematicians last century and German culture produced a series of great physicists, American culture has produced great inventors.
How long did it take jazz, rock and roll, or rap to spread to Europe? American influence on music this century has been astounding.Last edited by ADL Colin; 09-25-2002, 07:51 AM.

I always like to hear Americans being proud about their budweiser. In fact, it is a ripoff of the Czech Budweis, which existed long before WHASSAP and the BUD-WEIS-ER frogs.
Actually, beer was invented in Europe.

Then spaghetti is Italian but eating it is not. Funny. My original statement was "Anyone that watches television is partaking in American culture in the same way that anyone in America that eats Spaghetti is partaking in Italian culture" which by the above is true.
Speaking of the hotdog. Do you eat it on a bun? That was first done in America. Oh .. and the NAME "hot dog"? Coined at my alma mater, Yale University. New Haven, CT. U.S. OF A.

No. Pay attention. America's contribution to the internet is why everyone is speaking English here. We're not speaking German, we're not speaking Italian, and we're not speaking Zulu.
Beer was not invented in Europe. It was invented in Egypt or maybe ancient Sumeria depending on who you believe. Herodotus stated that the Egyptians invented Beer, which may be true.Last edited by ADL Colin; 09-25-2002, 08:27 AM.

With regards to television, as I stated before why then wouldn't it be the case that everyone who comes into contact with barbed wire be automatically participating in Australian culture?
It is an Australian invention.Comment

Sure. Lots of cultural artifacts spread and are influenced by those of their surrounding and sometimes faraway (world) neighbors.
The point is that not a single person's life here has not been richly enhanced because of American culture. It's music, it's invention, it's technology, it's expressions, it's idioms, it's food, and it's movies. This is amazing because it has not had the huge headstart that Europe has time-wise.
Culture n.
"The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought."
What has been the American contribution to human work and thought in this century?
It is a curious thing. Nearly everyone here is the grandchild or great-grandchild of immigrants. I am.
So a Hungarian comes up with the idea of the Atomic Bomb but it is developed here in the US. What made that possible? Why is it that so many things have been invented in America in the past century? What is it about it's culture .. it's societal values that made this possible?
America DOES have it's own culture. Think of America circa 1950. Leather jackets, motorcycles, and rock music. Were those cultural artifacts or not?
America is HUGE and POPULOUS. It is widely diverse from sea to shining sea and all across it's beautiful fruited plane. Here in Miami there is DEFINITELY a Miami culture. There is also an American South-West culture (Santa Fe), and then there's Hollywood.
No, it is not one uniform culture. America is extremely culturally diverse from location to location - so in that sense there is not a uniform culture. Come visit me here in Miami though and tell me whether South Beach "has culture" - an interesting medley of Latin and American influences. It's sights, smells, tastes. It's an amazing place. There are many more like it here. If you can't enjoy it, then don't. I've visited many European cities and liked them all. Europe has it's own cultures and traditions and they vary from town to town and country to country also.
I don't see any reason to say there is culture in Europe but not America. That makes no sense.

Where the Brits have been good at the invention, the Italians have been masters of design (unfortunately mech/elec design never included reliabilty).
The Japs rule in the world of mass production/cost/reliabilty.
America is probably best at consumption - energy, food, you name it and the Yanks will devour it.

the TV and the concept and idea for TV was simultaneously thought up by two people, one was Philo Farnsworth, the second was Vladimir Zworykin
they both lived in the US.
Philo Farnsworth, while living in California was granted the Patent and was the one who recieved the royalties on the invention.Comment
