[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Shadow: [QB] The difference between Lutherans and Catholic is pretty irrelevent...I challenge a non-Moslem here to name the two Moslem types, using proper spelling. The Euro is actually steadily dropping below the value of the dollar. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] Language - I wish I lived in Finland or something so I could bash the English language more. About the only country that could benefit from using English is France, and that's not going to happen any time soon (at least, not over the dead bodies over the French). In 50 years I'll bet English will decompose into something completely unusable. I'd personally much rather speak Esperanto or Hungarian or Quenya or anything else... The Arts - I'll let someone else field this one. Music - Video game sountracks are popular in Japan, but I think I'm the only one here who bought the Donkey Kong Country CD. Drama/Theater - If movies count, I've heard that India generally produces hundreds and hundreds of films each year, whereas in the US movies are big-budget-type things. Graphic Arts - Er...you mean, billboards and such? Or just paintings? Literature - Since this depends on language, it's already very different. I challenge someone here to write anything without using the progressive tense, even though most non-English literature gets along fine without it. Etiquette/Customs - Almost all countries differ in this regard. Government - Ha! Everyone in the US complains when the government does anything, but that doesn't happen in many places. Religion/Spirituality - As I mentioned, religion is a major component in the lives of many, and there's many different relgious views around. Science/Technology - Look at all the research and development that goes into cars in the US, and then try to find a Ford Taurus in Europe. I can tell you that there aren't any in Italy. [/QB][/QUOTE]
