[QUOTE="WhiteyMacD, post: 1291999, member: 7633"] The lazy American image comes from the media. If you want to blame anyone for that, blame our American TV shows. The rest of the world sees our shows and think thats really us. Stupid, I know. As for Culture, that is really going to depend on what you definition is. If we are talking about stuff like "Immigrant Culture" (People who built this nation), or "Native American Culture", yeah, then we got a lot of culture. But most of the time, people arent talking about the culture, they are talking about a refined sense of excellence in art (food/scultures/paintings/architecture/theatre). While we, in deed have culture (ie we are not cultureless), we dont quite have the culture (refinement) that many European nations have. Some of those nations are literally thousands of years older than the US, of course they are going to be more cultured. My advice, take the Euro opinion you are exposed to with a grain of salt. We must be doing something right, because by their focusing on what they have over us is revealing an insecurity they have with themselves. Seriously? Heritage, yes. Culture? Bruce dont need no culture! [attach=full]79346[/attach] [/QUOTE]
