[QUOTE="tomy12, post: 3098929, member: 136732"] Dude... you're making more sense with every post. Very well put! I've often heard similar things from a mate of mine from the UK... this pub was around XXX number of years than your country. Which in a certain way says more about the priorities his culture places on age than anything about American culture in some ways. Really it's speaking volumes about his culture rather than mine. It becomes very apparent in some ways why Europe was known as the Old World and America was thought of as the New World... as much for the mindset as it is for the actual age of the countries. As well it all becomes rather interesting when you actually ask someone who takes the stance 'Americans don't have any culture' and ask them what model of culture they're referring to... most often they have a concept or they're basing their ideas on a model of culture that is still stuck in the Victorian age.
