What is your favorite culture and why?

If you know so much about baseball, but never played it. Does that mean you know how to play baseball?

That is a sweet ass metaphor that gets right to the bottom of this debate. Let's get a "AMEN" and a response.

It makes total sense. How else do you learn? You didn't put gloves on when you grabbed for the plate you had in the microwave for minutes upon minutes, thus you burned your hand. What did you learn? OH SHIT LEARNING

That's experience, which is the part I left out on purpose, knowing you would bring that up.
Anyways.

I obviously know about America guy. Do I like it's HISTORY???
No, not all specs of culture stem from history.

Anyways, I again wait to here what American Culture is.

Dino you don't have experience with Japanese Culture. You've just read up on it and been told about it. You still don't know what their culture really is like.

Going out on a limb here, but does your friend live, or has he lived, in Japan?

I think this topic should be taken more seriously. I think it's pretty interesting, and people are ruining it by being nit picky. You can like a culture for any number of reasons. I don't think this is meant to be a debate about which is the best culture. It's supposed to be about your favorite culture.

As for me, I kind of like the Japanese culture as well. I've never lived in Japan, so I can't say from first-hand experience, but I really like how their society is very structured. Even from the language you can tell that everyone has their place in society, and I kind of like that. I think it would be cool to live in that kind of environment. It seems more respectful. Also, it seems like the people of Japan are very hard working, which is a plus. At least this is what I've seen from people of Japanese descent around me. Perhaps that is a fluke, but the average American I've seen ends up being pretty lazy. I also like Japanese music. Perhaps I haven't tried hard enough to look for music in all languages/cultures, but I haven't been disappointed with most of the Japanese music I've heard, while I can't say the same for American, Spanish, Latino, and Arab. Even looking at the translation of the lyrics, many songs seem to have beautiful meanings.

As for other cultures, I kind of like some of the cultures in Central and South America as well. It seems nice how family is so important in most of their cultures. I don't really like how in the US, most people are really individualized or solitary. From my travels, they also seem to be pretty nice people, but it is hard to judge this from a tourist standpoint, I suppose. Also, I really like the Spanish language too. Probably not as much as Japanese, but it is better than most of the other languages I've heard in my opinion.

The culture that I've grown up in isn't that bad, but there are definitely improvements that would make it better. No culture is perfect.

Edit: Replying to what I've seen that was posted while I was typing, it is really hard to have a true insight on another culture since most people don't live in other cultures unless they are in the same country. I think you can get a pretty good insight on another culture from talking to people who are immersed in the culture and from looking at the language and media from the country. It's not perfect, but I think it is good enough to speculate at what the culture is like at least on a basic level.

Holy crap your respectful. I really appreciate that.
Actually everything you posted is almost the same outlook as mine.
