"on a per capita basis Jamaica has the strongest cultural influence all over the world"

i dont trust politicians neither way

[OriginalGangsta]

the thread I made really got out of hand
Let's end this now

it wasn't my intention to offend so many

[MCsquared05]

Racism and biggotry are really what keep HHG alive, especially those who just don't see it.

1)How do you know, was you there?

2) So theres no black people in the army

was i where?

what is the relevence of question number 2?

[knowitall]

To my knowledge none can come to mind
maybe if I thought more about it, but doesn't seem like it so far

if after more thought they aren't the only one
they stand out the most

What about the "so-called american negro" or black people in america who been stripped of their culture?

How about people in gangs?

Slaves maybe?

How I understand culture is that it is a way of life and the actions of the individual or the group will promote life (quality life, balance with nature, healthy family, etc. etc.) and not death (no knowledge of self, pollution of the earth, disfunctional family structure, death, etc. etc.), so when I speak on those who have or don't have it's based on something....it's based upon what I know and understand culture to be.

If you define culture as something else and understand it to be something else than what I define it as, then we will not see eye to eye on things because of the perspective we view and the standard in which we measure.

White people don't have a culture, nor do many other people. The topic was about white people not having a culture but it seems like people will take this as an attack on white people so I will say they are not the only ones without a culture.

raaas claart
dem ah no what ah gwarn
man ah run tingz overseas

[OriginalGangsta]

See you can't agree with that
Do terroists strip arab countries of their culture?
no, you will still find it in the average households

the mistake is in perception

the majority represents the people
because that's a real community
but you are talking about sub-communities

but i understand what you are trying to say and do somewhat agree with it

[Tego]

In the Western World there is no such thing as "The Majority" when it comes to things as broad as culture. That's "Pop culture" and it represents nobody. It exists in the middle of everything.

We have choice. We have freedom of thought and movement. Maybe in the 19th Century backward you could say such things. But in 2007 it's not realistic. My cultures are a hybrid of Portugese, Jamaican, Ghanaian, Nigerian, English, Welsh, Scottish, Jewish, Muslim, Hindi, Sikh, because that's where I live, that's what I was raised in. Circumstances are so much more broad in this age that the concept of "Culture" can only be defined by a sustained level of output without the input of another, at which point it becomes a hybrid culture, but beyond that it can continue to grow and engulf that culture to become one in its own.

Blah blah blah blah.

[cockney john]

white people have a culture (relative to them) but I wouldn't define it as away of life...no, I would say it's a way of death because that is what they do....cause things to die, mentally, physicall, spiritually, morally, environmentally, etc. etc.

Culture is too diverse to be distinguished by race. Unless of course you want to generalise similarities to create a rest haven for your hatred or inbred beliefs then by all means

For those who think this is being said out of hate it's not. It's based on reality...everywhere "white people" go to, they always find somebody darker than they are, they always found a society of people who lived in peace, but after they arrive they always cause some type of destruction on multiple levels. That's not life that's death...

What proof do you have to back this up

[knowitall]

What proof do you have to back this up

don't ask what proof i have, because the proof i have is for me, what kind of proof do you want?

The bolded text, those are not cultures. They ar either a religion or a nation/nationality, but they are not cultures.

This is a clear indication of a person using a word in the wrong manner.

There is a difference between a culture, nationality, and a religion.

[Tego]

But each nationality and religion and city to city, coast to coast regions and sub-strands within has its own cultures that I live amongst, respect and learn from.

Why do you have to be so facetious? Does that prove your point? What's your point? You have no point. You know what I meant but by posting that you have set back this debate yet again. You are worthless.

[Tarrentino]

On topic tho... evry grouping of ppl hav culture.. thats a given ... OG just wanted 2 upset some people.. and then backs down??

[Tarrentino]

why you getting so frustrated? i'm not here to "prove MY point" i'm here simply to add on to the discussion. you're simply using the wrong word to describe your idea and that's why you're in error. you want to use words like "facetious" but can't use culture properly, so you get mad and become disrespectful.

say what you mean, and mean what you say...don't click that submit button if your idea wasn't made clear.

culture is different from a nationality and a religion...instead of trying to find some "college" word to up your iq perception you should look up the meaning of the word that is important to this thread and that word is culture.

[Tego]

So. Now that's out of your system. Do you have a retort?

[OriginalGangsta]

Didn't want to upset nobody man

In fact I didn't anticipate such a huge response

But check the sig yo, Uncle Murder and Green Lantern call the cops on Pap!
That's not good culture nawm!
