It's religion (and the original religious source of America's moral culture is Christianity), it's media influence, and it's a million other things that would indeed fill a 50,000 page essay.

You all still have not answered her question, which stems from your claims. You introduced the terms, now define them.

Wikipedia is not a well-vetted information source.

To think that American culture can be defined in the space of a brief paragraph is just silly.

Why am I arguing with trolls?

Ok, fine.

This culture is based primarily on three things:

Family values, a strong composition, and a free-market economy.

Now take my other post and you can see how everything that I think is going wrong directly relates to one of those three things.

No kidding. And to think that it was your argumentative and inane buddy here who said that it could.

Who would've thought asking this question would make you all so defensive. You all were defensive before I even started probing for better answers. Don't ever challenge someone who is afraid of cultural decay, I guess. :)




Uh huh. Good job. And therefore I asked what this country's culture is.

So either you answer the question or give it a rest. ;)

@CB Show me where she said that.

That's where she said that.

Here you go. That's where she said it.

She didn't say brief. ;) Your responses were too brief. You guys have to read every word.

Well, my question could've been answered in a paragraph. I didn't ask them to define or analyze the concepts that go into American culture.

I just wanted their opinions and not an external source. When most people expouse certain viewpoints, particularly moral outrage, they are doing so from raw emotion and not from a well-read foundation. That's how you get to bare opinions. As far as informed opinions, they can read and define on their own time. I hope they do.

Another wonderful counter :cool:

Twin powers, activated!!!!

Well, at least now you know your assertion that we're the same person is a little off. :)

These guys are full of crap; they are pulling claims out of their ears and they are not really supporting them or even really engaging them critically, which is all that you asked them to do.

I'm brilliant; what can I say. :D
