What is U.S. culture?

[hardrock]

I watch all these movies and it always involves their freign culture, and I realize, we have no culture here. Other than pop culture. I know we are a county made up of other countries, but it seems all that matters to the jist of us is money and posessions.

Please enlighten me to see a better side of us.

our culture is taking what we want. we stole the land and the government is full of douchebags. i wouldnt watch a movie about that.

Bro I have an online business which will allow me to live anywhere and I'm also fixin to get a couple/three hundred K. So I'm pretty tempted to get the hell outta dodge. I have personally had it here. I don't see this country heading for the better anytime soon. Something better happen quick like the BEST PIECE OF POON I'VE EVER HAD or I'm headed to Thailand baby.

 

[CajunSaint]

why thailand? jw

 

[Mr. dB]

Pizza and frankfurters.

 

[c-sharp minor]

McDonald's and Seinfeld, which qualifies as pop-culture I suppose.

Just McDonald's then.

It's because we lead by example. Our leaders are pieces of shit who have their own interests and use the gov and nation to fuel it.

From a foreigner's perspective, I always thought US culture was pretty Southern, the whole cowboy, jeans, sippin' JD, rock 'n' roll, line dancing country music etc. Heck I'll even go out on a limb & say jazz is US culture.

jazz was created in the US, i believe before the harlem renaissance of the 1930s and 40s.

The last 2 were pretty solid answers. Maybe i ought to move down south and get me some shit kickers.

Right on. It's really no wonder there are so many cynical people in the U.S. It's like a circus here.

I love it too when people say, "Well if you don't like it, move." lol, seems running from our problems has also become a way of life here. Well I suppose that's what we did from the beginning though when we sailed west. Perhaps we could chalk it up to fate.
