Because of that people are scared to speak their minds and go about biting their tongues, further worsening our country because no one has the balls to point out the obvious problems.

Is this what this country's culture is or are you all operating from a limited understanding of what culture entails?
I'm asking what this country's culture is. What is the culture that people are trying so hard to salvage? Obviously the concept of culture is more complex than some of you assumed that it is because getting this question answered is like pulling teeth.

What culture entails could fill a 50,000 page book. He pointed out the relevant parts. Try adding something to the discussion for once.

Actually, no. What culture entails is a paragraph.
He didn't touch the relevant parts but rather expressed his opinion of something unrelated.
Don't be sensitive. Discuss American culture and get over me.

It was perfectly relevant. He described how the current conditions in our culture are fostering moral decay.

I didn't ask that. Slow down a little so you don't confuse yourself anymore.

I'm hardly confused, you're just asking irrelevant questions that you already know the answers to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_culture would be the literal answer to your question.

I weep for journals and books. They get so lonely.
But seriously, if you think I needed a source to read for my own knowledge then you are completely missing what's going on here.
