[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, and that's OK. The US is a very young country. It's still in the wild west stage, to all intents and purposes. One day, it will be considered culturally rich, with original cuisine.

The U.S. is not in the Wild West stage. So those of us who's families have been here for 300 years plush, have not established culture, tradition, legacies, that other countries see and have followed in part? The U.S. did not "start" when your people group immigrated here, as if were hapless and souless before. [/quote]

PP you replied to. Sorry, I'm an aristocrat whose family ancestor was ennobled in 900AD, so let's not compare family trees. The USA is a very young country. It was not organized with a colony government until the 17th century. Compare this to China, first organized government in the Qin dynasty in the 220s BC. Or Portugal, kingdom established in the 12th century. You don't need to be offended - that's juvenile. These are just facts.

You know what the USA has going for it? Incredibly economic dynamism. It's better than Old Europe, Ancestral Africa, and most Asian countries (with some *notable* exceptions). And I believe that one reason it's so dynamic is that it still retains it's "western expansion" mindset. I am well aware there are negative connotations to that, but I mean the adventurous, can-do, risk-taking, entrepreneurial spirit that symbolizes the American spirit.

This is what the USA is known for. It should make you proud.
