Generation Q

There are things about how we live in the American republic that you don't have the background to really understand, and you don't understand that, or why, we like 'em that way, better than all other possible choices, good or bad. So far we've had our share of difficulties communicating just why we choose as we do, advocate what we do.

I may not live in America UG, but I also don't need to know I'll hurt myself if I jump off a cliff. I may not experience the actual pain, but I can imagine it fairly well.

What I also know is that bit by bit, the rest of the western world is falling prey to a lot of the same problems you have in your country because of the 'homogenization' of western society. I use the word homogenization because some people take offence to being told the world is becoming Americanized in the true sense of the word.

Do I like this? There are some good points, and some bad points. The worst part about it for me is the loss of culture for everyone else.

You make a lot of assumptions about a lot of things you know very little about UG. Personally I don't care what you think, but I will tell you that if you think you're going to condescend to me I'll just stop responding to you. Maybe you wont care. So be it. I'm telling you now though, you will influence far more people to your way of thinking if you treat them as equals instead of underlings.
