    And see thats the funny thing - Australians are not big rib eaters. But you did stumble onto a concept I have had to deal with and that is positive racism. The company I was working for often got me to give presentations. I realized pretty quick that the attendees were not listening to what I was saying they were only interested in how I was saying it. Then you get promotions and in the back of your mind you worry did I get that because of the quality of my work or because I have the right accent.

    Fortunately I am now with a company who enjoy having an Australian, but are more interested in the quality of my work lol

    Absolutely not.

    Tell me some more about how the Australian Aboriginals had an excellent moral society in light of what I revealed about their evil culture. You've already been thoroughly discredited, so you'll excuse me if I don't take you seriously.

    LOL, if you want to take your ball and go home no problem.

    However since I never said what you insinuate that is a what? My momma taught me that was immoral. So while I will not judge you by my morals I find that odd for a person that claims moral high ground. Feel free to show me where I said that. I said I found that disturbing, I believe was the word I used. I do not put words in your mouth and would appreciate the same in return .

    I am not sure about Canada obviously. What most Americans call Mexican is more TexMex a blend of our cultures. I am sure other border states have similar versions as well. So real Mexican food is good but sometimes the ingredient are not palatable to my taste.

    A prime rib is actually not a rib. It is a whole ribeye steak that is cooked whole then sliced but point taken.

    My work when I get to work they use me to battle the other "rednecks". Since most truck drivers are "rednecks" in disaster relief. I grew up in the inner-city so get along well with my coworkers that are usually minorities. So I create a kind of uneasy peace between the drivers and the monitors.(insure only eligible debris is removed) I decide what the drivers get paid and the cites,county,or state get reimbursed by FEMA. So I understand where you are coming from.

    I have to say I like the way most heavy accents sound from the more proper English speaking countries. That "orbits" you got a dirty mouth girl I love that. So sorry but I would have paid attention to what you were saying as well. When I am happy my accent is heavy Texas draw with a little Arkansas mixed in. When mad I go back to my youth in the heart of Dallas. I try to sound normal when at work or other place I feel the need to sound smart and professional. Not sure I pull it off to well though but I try.

    I'm not attempting to define black culture simply because by essence of blacks living in America, consuming as other Americans do, going to the same schools etc., clearly demonstrates to me that there is no 'black culture'. It is an American culture. I asked the poster who brought up this 'culture' business what he thought defined it seperately from the culture of the USA as a whole, and I haven't had a reply-unless I missed it.

    Who are you-a so-called 'Christian'-to pontificate on the 'evils' of other cultures? Was it not the Catholic church which burned heretics, tortured and murdered 'non-believers' in their thousands? Was the Inquisition not a culture of evil? Don't talk to us about morals or discreditation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition

    Tell me more about how Christian society has an excellent moral code in light of the sexual abuse of children which has been revealed about that evil culture.

    They're not 'real' Christians?

    It gets to be quite the task discriminating between good and bad Christians.

    I usually just err on the side of finding rotten-to-the-core Christians in the words they use to describe others in order to elevate themselves. It's never failed me yet.

    Vietnamese, funny to mention them in a thread about culture. After the end of the war we had a lot of Vietnamese refugees land in Australia. Many started small bakery businesses and began producing versions of pot pies that were just amazing. Many including myself could not figure out how an Asian culture could produce such a great version of a British standard.

    Answer - the French. During their long colonial control of the area, the French had heavily influenced the local food scene. So you have these wonderful Asian flavors being wrapped in some of the best pastry on the planet

    Where I am in Kansas, the Texan accent really stands out. In this part of the US they seem to have a pretty flat accent, very easy to understand so everything else is really noticable. The people I struggle with are your folk from Tennessee and Louisiana. We get there eventually because I see a lot of head scratching from them during a conversation as well :)

    Hello to everybody!!!
    It's the first time I am at this forum.

    But according to the following subject in my idea every second country has its own nationalists, liberals etc.

    Races and cultures are sometimes taken into consideration in different countries as a sort of a" flourishing part of the whole society".

    What do I mean by a "flourishing part of the whole society"?

    That is the question!!!

    Well, me myself I know that the Western civilization can be very strong indeed.

    The Western civilization is a fast growing society , there is more liberalism than every other places and they have own rights, rules, the law that really classify themselves as"strong" as I wrote before.

    Races for example can be very "hard to explain" in their customs, the way of behaviour, in the code of behaviour.

    In U.S.A they have very strong feeling of belonging to the nation or society as such.

    Why?

    Because it has a very strong basis and bases at which the nation is being buid up.

    We have to remember that white people in U.S .A were often seen as a one and only habitant of this country.

    Why the Black people became slaves long times ago?

    Well, the nature and the character of the Western Civilization is " don't get too confused, make it harder , but better and with an incredible toil.

    So, to finish it I wanna say my motto for strong countries as such:"We have to win and doesn'gt matter how , we have to have a pure views about the races and cultures and we want to assimilate.

    That's it.

    Thank you very much.

    That's not a documentary. But I'm sure to you it's somewhere between a documentary and gospel truth.

    You're right. My apologies. It was somebody else who made that idiotic claim:

    Then how can you claim Christianity and the pyramids are examples of Western culture?

    I never said the pyramids were an example of Western culture. I just pointed out that even the ancient Egyptians were more advanced than most of the cultures encountered when colonizing the New World, indicating that some civilizations progress and advance and others won't advance no matter how many thousands of years pass.
