It genuinely fascinates me how Americans are convinced they live in the best country in the world. I have lived in Oklahoma for 8 months now and these people live their country to the point that they do not have passports. A majority of the country has never been international they have no idea how the rest of the world lives. It's pretty shocking considering the lack of culture. What is your culture America? Is it Beyonce having twins and five guys? what do you offer to the world except for an army?

america here is often referred to as a 3rd world country with a 1st world coat, they believe everything is great, but deep down, shit's still shit

That's because the United States of America is huge.

Really huge.

Geographically on par with the entirety of Europe, only without the population issues.

You traveling from UK to France is like going from Oklahoma to Arkansas.

We have the benefit of a gigantic, diverse landscape with subcultures rivaling continental Europe, unfettered by one-world politics or lowest-common-denominator legislation.

There's a reason why people want to emigrate to America and not to Italy or Norway.

You are thinking of the minority of americans who voted for Trump. Most people aren't quite that dumb.

>I have lived in Oklahoma for 8 months now
Why?

If you want to experience the best that America has to offer, stick to the coasts. The flyover states are packed with the weird shit you described.

basically everyone in Oklahoma is a serf to their lords, and those lords aren't doing great either. In a sense it's a very revealing picture of America, but not a complete one.

I would argue that most people are really dumb.

>a majority of the country has never been international

>OP "goes international", comes to America and visits Oklahoma of all states

fucking kek

>What do you offer the world except an Army?

Great job implying you would even have a culture still if not for our Army.

We export our culture all the time in music, TV shows, movies, fashion, food. I can guarantee you can name at least 10 American movies, 5 TV shows, probably 10 of our musicians. You know how many foreign TV shows most Americans can probably name? Maybe 1. This has nothing to do with "not traveling" and has everything to do with you and whatever "culture" you think you have being inconsequential and having no influence whatsoever.

Tell us, champ, what "great country" do you hail from? Our military has likely done something in the past 50 years to prevent your entire population from being genocided. :^)

Still the Greatest. Still the only Superpower in the world. Stay jealous. :^)

they want to come to america because they can hide there. "visit" your uncle in new york and settle in nevada, no questions asked. So came 10 millions and never left. how is that a good thing. trumps new cabinet thinks its a bad one!

Oklahoma as well. Lived here all my life. Only left the state once for Texas. If you don't like it leave faggot.

There isn't a lack of culture. If you're going to be intentionally intellectually dishonest then I'm not discussing this with you.

You may not like the culture but it is there.

Christ mate, you are a short bus lad I figure.

Are we meant to offer you anything? Don't come here if you don't like it. We don't consider you. You don't matter. Stop being so obsessed.

Am American. Americans thinking they live in the best country in the world is a meme. The truth is we are too busy with our pleasantries to give a shit. Sure we blow fire into the sky once a year in the name of America, but if you don't want your mom to die then you have to reply to this post.

I would argue that by definition only one person is perfectly average and everyone else either falls into dumb or smart categories but neither category has the majority.

Moves to Oklahoma looking for culture. LOL.

Jazz, Rock, and all kinds of great music come from America. Hollywood, while mostly shitty for most of it's history, comes from American and is pretty important to world culture. That's just off the top of my head. The fk kind of question is "What is American culture?"

That literally is impossible. The average iq is 100. You're a complete moron.

Hi

What part in OK? This state is boring but I've lived in worse shit hole states.

Toppen Tengan Gurren Lagann
Fawlty Towers
Takeshi's Castle
Blackadder
Farscape

but international movies are way better

>eurocuck is culture shocked that Oklahoma isn't full of mosques and muslims like his homecountry

...

It's not impossible:
2 people with IQ of 50 + 1 with IQ of 200 equals 100 average IQ.
Please read a book once in a blue moon.

that is your culture? that shit mass produced mtv hollywood shit? "5 TV SHOWS"? keeping up with the fucking kardashians? 50 cent and transformers?

Crap user, you could have gone in some other direction. robert frost. Melville. Hemingway. Even Keruac and bob dylan.

they are too fat and lazy to think about life in general

No Monty Python?
Shame, user. Shame.

Are you brain dead? If you're only considering two people then in that scenario most people wouldn't be stupid. Only half.

Think before you speak.

the other day I was talking to a trump supporter. the only trump supporter I've ever talked to.

the topic of Mexico came up and this guy literally told me that he thought that Mexico was still a colony owned by the royal Spanish family, you know, the guys that went there hundreds of years ago and killed the aztec empire. he also said that, apparently, the royal family goes around beheading mexicans that dont convert to catholicism.

this is the type of person that voted for trump. the type of person that refers to america as the greatest contry of the world.

Not the user you were responding to, but If you read anything once in a while, you wouldn't still be trying to force this "hurr duur IQ meme."

IQ Tests are Meaningless

i would never want to move to america, such a 3rd world shithole

having muricans on the internet spamming about their politics(that nobody else cares about) literally everywhere is already too much

cant talk to an american for 15 seconds without them starting with politics that nobody else outside burgerland gives a shit about

too bad muricans are too fucking braindead to understand that there is a world outside burgerland

northern europe master race

No ones asking you to like it. Calm the fuck down you spaz.

What country are you from originally OP.

Italy has some of the most beautiful places on the planet to live and a lot of people love to move there same goes for Norway. Norway is a country with a higher standard of living than America

I don't agree with OP, because i think america does have a culture. The big problem is that the impression we get from almost everywhere (including Sup Forums) is taht most americans are uncultured. That´sdifferent than saying "america doesn't have A culture". It has. it´s just that people in general are uncultured.

You're confusing averages with means.

American highschools, am I right guys?

>I have lived in Oklahoma for 8 months
>Oklahoma
>8 months
>America

Sounds like you know Americans well enough to be an expert on this matter.

>American music

>but you didn't include bob dylan!

are you literally retarded?

There are three total people there.
2x50+200=300
300/3=100
Remember what I said about the book? Bump it up to two. Your comprehension needs some work.

>Things that never happened for $500, Alex.

lmao the west is almost entirely americanized regardless of how hard europoor govs tried to prevent it, get fucked

Yeah, what weird examples. If Norway would have me, I'd be there in a shot.

>nobody else cares about our politics

>but you respond to every American politics thread

Ok, kid :^)

He considers two people with 50 IQ and one with 200. That's three people and it will be 2/3 with 50 IQ.

"I hate America and its lack of culture so much I moved there."

Sorry you chose Oklahoma. In the meantime, like the rest of the world- enjoy our Movies, Shows, Music, Video Games, Literature... if you want culture I'm sure you can round up a faggot and have him take you to some historic homes, the theater, or an art museum or something like that.

i wouldnt have believed it had someone told me about it. whatever, stay in denial.

The reason you don't recognize US culture is because if you speak English, our culture is your culture. We're thoroughly saturated you. You're welcome.

In case you missed, it, fag, the whole point of America is individualism, so we don't have some mass imposed "culture". We have individualism. And since Americans don't have some mass bullshit culture to hide behind, the plebs all look like the fools they are, but nobody ever gave a shit about beyonce, and the fact that you bring her up shows how disconnected you are with how shit works.

America is about whatever the fuck you want to do. It's every culture all together. It's 300 million independent little cultures working together or pissing in each others cornflakes.

...

soooo....where you from again, OP? It always makes me laugh when europoors make these threads then are literally too ashamed to name their home country on an anonymous fillipino trout-fishing forum kek

see

No, I noticed he said "music". But when he says "you can name 10 american movies, 5 american tv shows, 10 of our musicians", it seems pretty clear that he is making a reference to the mass appeal and diffusion of the american shitstorm that envelops the world.
I think he could've pointed some other american things, more representative of he american culture than the rfeaking 5 tv shows and 10 musicians and 10 movies, that is all.

OP I was born and raised in Oklahoma, and I love it, but its not exactly the best place to get the American experience

That's not the point. If you understood the core idea of what I was trying to convey, you wouldn't be attacking me. I'm merely explaining that there can be more retards than smarter individuals and still average out to 100 IQ. This was claimed to be impossible here:
Nowhere did I make any claim about the quality or usefulness of IQ testing. Learn to differentiate between writing styles and read the entire chain to avoid this in the future.

culture isn't normally "imposed", it's made of individuals.

It's weird that there's Brittish kids faking American accents. They also have to fake accents to sound like they're from other parts of the UK to increase their chances of being hired. I get sounded like a hick is frowned on, but having to change your accent to get a job seems pretty sad.

Freedom is our culture.
everybody is different and everybody gets to do what they want.

Instead of everybody just doing the same thing as each other. We all do what we want to how we want to. religion, politics, business, fashion, entertainment, art, food, it's all parts from every culture in the world and the freedom to mux and match is the American way.


That being said. This country is a heaping pile of shit right now because of all the retards (alt-righters and pc liberals) and a pile of shit president.

I get that it's easy to hate america because our government and military loves raping random countries for nothing. but the people here are just living day to day like everyone else, and most of us have enough to do. Americans don't concern themselves with other countries politics because:
>1. We can't do anything about it
>2. We have our own business to take care of

I watch Japanese cartoons, eat Mexican Italian food, Listen to Swedish music, use electronics made in China, drive a car engineered in the U.S.A , and watch porn made in Germany. It's a "melting pot" dude or like a tossed up salad.

Freedom >>>>> Culture

To be fair most Americans don't have passports because anywhere in middle America that people would go is far away enough that it becomes expensive to travel. It isn't an hour drive to another country for most people.

Also, much of Canada is like America, and Mexico isn't the most desirable place to go. i'm not speaking for myself, since I live in Indy, but have family in Sweden that we visit every other year, and have had an internship in Korea.

Realistically, the drive to visit another country just ins't there. Most people don;t have a reason to leave, or don't have the monetary sustenance to do as such.

This isn't Europe. In many parts of Africa or even Asia, and few parts in Europe it is much the same demeanor as it is here, that the distance is just too far, and many people never venture out. I don't think this is a good reason to not like Americans.

You're full of fucking shit, in some places outside of America if you don't conform to their local Sharia Law or whatever isolated bullshit culture they have you're a pariah and socially exiled if not outright physically removed or harassed.

Imposing culture is the norm around the world, which is why you conformist plebs find America so difficult. It's because you chart your own course here. If you just go with the flow in America you're just another pleb, which is fine, too.

Aw. This is adorable.

btw, you two are the 50s to my 200

And you're still missing the point that IQ is a completely inconsequential metric of distinguishing "smarter individuals" from "retards." You clearly fall far to the left of the bell curve and didn't even bother to read the actual material. Kek.

Burger here.the problem with your statement is not that were too braindead to understand that theres a world outside burgerland. The truth is that we dont care.

To be honest, you are coming off like a whiny bitch. Your opinion is stupid, to put it frankly.

Reply to this post or your mother will die in her sleep tonight.

> then there's this cuck

>Imposing culture is the norm around the world
you seriously think that, dont you? you seriously think that most places (expect the US) make you form part of their culture by force? through sheer violence?

its not just sharia, right? nono, most places in the world will force you to take part in their culture through violence, right?

Americans have no idea what it is to go to a completely different country they come out with shit like going from france to UK is like going from texas to calafornia if they knew how retarded that comment was they get themselves a passport and travel
>travelling from texas to Cuba or Ecuador
>is more like from France to UK gf fucking ameritards

>our government and military loves raping random countries for nothing

>we can't do anything about other countries politics

Pick one, faggot. I don't think half you idiots even know what you believe you're just betas on some self-hate schitck. Get fucking real. The US doesn't think it's superior, we ARE superior. We import goods from other countries and sign trade deals just so other countries don't starve to death or immigrate here. These are just facts.

well the internet you are communicating over is a product of our bloated military industrial complex so i guess what I'm saying is our army is pretty great. oh and we gave the world trump. You are welcome.

I already knew that. You've missed that point twice, now. Notice this is the first time I've made an assessment about IQ testing as a concept? You missing this is what leads you to believe I'm missing some irrelevant point about IQ testing being unreliable (which was not the subject I was discussing, again, I've said this already).
I literally don't care what you think; I just hope no one else is making this mistake, too. Best of luck to your dumb ass.

ignorance is bliss
i was raised like that
even though i am german i feel like an american idiot
my parents sufferd from the third reich
they did not want us to have to deal with it
therefore it was television entertainment all the way for us kids
and chart music
all had to be squeaky clean

I sourced validated sources based on university studies. You provided corny anecdotes. I'm the dumb one? Sure, kid.

kek

I agree, the US has no culture. It's such a depressive country. Everything feels industrialized and there is no proper community.

Both of you are retards. Look at your stupid conversation itt. I would be embarrassed

>The GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY loves raping random countries for nothing


>We (the people) can't do anything about other countries politics

Do you have to intentionally read out of context to make up this bullshit argument?

There is nothing the every day american can do to stop our military from shitting on your countries, I'm sorry. but we can't help you.

and our massive army and military budget leads to research and design into some of the most advanced technology by the way.

If you have only been to Oklahoma, just stop until you do some traveling. The country is huge you fucking idiot.

>Hurr I went to one spot in a country that is 50x the size of europe and I already know everything about the entire country.

>tries to armchair some bullshit about intelligence

>gets proven wrong with validated sources

>"Oh, I literally don't care what you think."

Fuckin kek, ok kid. Don't you have a "peaceful protest" to scurry off to, faggot?

The military is composed of "the every day American" or do you think we fight wars with autonomous robot batallions now like a fucking Will Smith movie or something?

>sources for arguments that only you think relevant
For the third and final time: I was making a point about simple mathematics. You're making a mistake. I don't care about IQ nor was I making a claim about IQ. I made a claim about averages. That's it. I don't know why you think it's relevant to bring up the effectiveness of IQ testing at all.
These are me:
Hope this helps

user, you need help.

I think what these anons are referring to, are the aspects of your culture that you are proud of.

For example; France has some of the most beautiful architecture, is renowned for its food, has picturesque landscapes.

The UK has the NHS, A language learnt the world over, a history of fighting on despite the odds, architecture etc.

Italy has its love of food, Art, structures and cultures involved in the development of the modern world.

Nippon has Anime and Samurai, the Bushaido Code, unique architecture.

Aus has a harsh landscape, where everything tries to kill you, where they get no water but still manage to live on, all while drinking tinnies of piss water and getting bitten by crocs.

You get the picture? All these countries, most countries, whilst being dumbly nationalistic all have things that they are proud to reveal to the rest of the world, all of which have some benefit, they all have character beyond skin deep.

I think the anons are questioning america's character. Character and culture go hand in hand. When more americans know the name Kim Kardashian than Citizen Kane.

You are home to many cultures but have little.

and the reason why we care about american politics is because the world is like a bed thats getting smaller, we're all in it, but when someone starts thrashing about taking up more room, or stealing the covers, ofc we care.

Just as you care about Europe or you wouldnt keep making threads about Eurocucks letting in too many muslims and immigrants.

our army is comprised of like 1.4 million people.

The government has control of 1.4 million brainwashed idiots, gave them weapons and they obey any command given for the honor.

0.4% of our population is part of this army. and a good chunk of us don't support them.

99.6% of our country are just civilians. They are the every day american.

once again you are reading yourself out of context and nuance to create an argument where a problem doesn't exist.

>complains about americans on Sup Forums, an american website on the internet, an american invention.

>internet is an American invention
Jesus Christ almighty DARPA would have it solely for the military if it weren't for the UK and France, you dirty, uneducated, and fucking retarded instance of pure idiocy.
I'm an American and I'm fucking ashamed of you.

british and french didnt invent the internet, americans did you stupid idiot.

>picturesque landscapes
>trying to defend a literal "dirt" culture

kek

>Italy cultures involved in the development of the modern world

You mean fascism, naziism?

>Nippon

Oh right, like those vending machines where you buy girls' used panties from vending machines? Great culture.

>Aussies, everything tries to kill you, get bitten by crocs

Uh....great culture?

You're clearly not American trying to make a shit-tier argument for OTHER cultures that doesn't hold water.

>we're all in the same bed, but America paid for the covers

FTFY, stop pretending Europe even crosses the mind of the average American in a given month, it just doesn't happen. Fucking pathetic.

USA still #1. Stay jealous.

American cities have zero culture only rural America has culture and it is fucking bad ass

>99.6% of our country are just civilians.
Except for the police, sherrifs and deputies, forest rangers, FBI, NSA, DHS, CIA and so on.
Nett it all out and you're at the 1 in 10 that most despots like to be.
Do you still have Air Marshalls?

so where's OP from again? Oh right, still too ashamed to say it on an anonymous IB :^)

>In the 1980s, research at CERN in Switzerland by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee resulted in the World Wide Web
Did you even try?
>interconnected computers, in general, were invented by the US government, yes
The internet as you and I know it, however, was due to a collaborative effort between several countries; the educational and commercial networks originated in the countries I've mentioned.

Average white guy has 100iq nigs have iq of 80

Al Gore invented internet, faggot.

You got me. He did it all by himself.
I'm just a shill for the Jews trying to erode the fabric of America.

average jew (ashkenazi) has 120, asian 110, white 100, black 80

It's a series of tubes.

Pretty much. If the sheathing around wires counts, sure.

jews you say?

Finlandfag here

I don't get this meme that Americans have no culture, are you telling me all the music, literature, arts, science, laws, history, etc... don't count for anything? What culture do we have then?

You know, old castles and funny clothes don't equal culture... also it's a huge country, with good and bad people.

They're allowed to think they live in the best country, I think my country is one of the best to live in as well, although I hate the ignorant dumbass politicians in Europe but really admire Americans love and willing to fight for freedom.
