Balkanization. Coming soon to your neighborhood.

“Americans are American”
It used to be that way.

I was told by international students that america is bland...fast food, drive through banks, chain grocery stores, and quickie marts. It sounds to me like they got a point.

Frankly, I would be shocked to hear anything other than that come out of the mouths of "international" students. That is how these yahoos always justify their feeling of superiority over Americans despite the weak nature of whichever country they came from. Did you actually expect any of them to say "Oh, the US truly is the superior country, full of wonderful culture and people." ? A sense of superiority to Americans is ingrained in them since birth.

Second, how much of American life is really represented by the strip malls and the fast food joints? If that is all these students took the time to see, then they only got the tourist version of the US. That is to be expected from them, but what is your excuse?

Oh, the US truly is the superior country
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually, many of them did say this. THey also convinced me that americans are not lazy. THey convinced me that americans are actually working themselves to death and that is why america leads the world in technology, military, and economy. THey also convinced me that an american degree in a technical field is the most valuable thing in the world. It is obvious that the rest of the world beleives this too because just look at the numbers of foreign students in american universities studying engineering and medicine. Several post doc students from foreign countries told me that if they went back to their country, the degrees they had would guarantee them a cushy position for life with their government but that they would rather stay in america even though it means a much more difficult life because they said “at least here I can actually use my knowledge for something purposful, back home it would go to waste”

Almost like Islam: The religious kudzu that sleeps, creeps, and before you know it has completely taken over.

Yes; and for sure; and was in truth, including the implications of the evils of radical Islam in my response and it's impact now reverberating in England and across Europe. The 'super will' that resonates between these two 'isms' clears the path for the advance of Leftism and by consequence, radical Islam.

The dynamics of both, here at home, are having the same consequences. We just have some 'catching up' to do; and should a Demrat take the White House; we can be sure that we will be doing just that.

The Labor Party has been in power since 1997.

Hi, indylindy, I agree with everything you wrote except for this one thing:

"FReepers are informed"

Some FReepers are informed, and I most sincerely apologize for having mistaken you for one who isn't.

Keep up the good work!

I assumed your use of the word “nation” was in the old fashioned sense. That is that a nation is a groupe of genetically similar people, not a political boundary on a map. In that sense, americans are not a nation and our culture is not a culture. It is a hodgepodge of non-culture.

No. The United Stated is a nation, perhaps the 1st nation, to be formed upon principles instead of heredity or boundary, and who's citizens are not restricted by petty racial, genetic or ancestral similarities.

All cultures trace the features and components of their culture to other sources. The American Culture is no different in this respect. One can also argue that the American Culture is the most influential culture in the world right now and has been for several years. No culture? I don't think so. The influence of American Culture is everywhere.

If you want to adhere to the concept that nations can only exist among people who are genetically coupled and who's ancestry never cross some artificial boundary, be my guest. I think you're wrong.
