    I think on a personal level the majority are ordinary folk, trying to get by. They generally share a comparable moral and ethical code to the people where I'm from (the UK/Western Europe), are polite and respectful as anyone else. Many don't seem to be interested in the cultural output of other countries.

    That's all I can say, really.

      Maybe the culturally output needs to step it's game up?

        Are you suggesting the cultural output of the rest of the world (6.7 billion people) is inferior to what comes out of America, and that's why many don't seem interested?

          Different strokes for different folks always applys. But that being said I can't tell you the last great cultural impact fiji laid on the world.

            Personally, I love art, music, movies and film from all over the world. France, Germany, Spain, China, Japan, Brazil, Italy, India, Australia, Iceland etc. as well as my own back yard (UK) and the US...

            But if some people aren't interested in seeking that out, or assume it's all shit because it's not from America and not in their language, that's their prerogative :P

              You have a bad habit of putting words into people's mouths and thoughts into their heads that don't exist.

                Where did I put words into anyone's mouth? Which thoughts have I put into people's heads "that don't exist"?

                Very strange.

                All that's happening here is I'm defending the cultural output of the rest of the world beyond the US, and speculating as to why (in my admittedly limited experience) so many Americans don't indulge in that output.

                I'm not having a go at you, specifically, or saying that you behave in one way or another - I don't know anything about you.
