I never said what kind of culture, Raw, and this is still off topic.

Didn't you read my last post? It was On-Topic. The second paragraph tied all loose ends. It's called meandering, a conversation is allowed to do that in order to attack the main topic from a new angle.

'''YOU SEE THIS DOG I'M PETTING? THAT WAS COURAGE WOLF.Cute, isn't he?I find it funny that Americans sometimes think that being able to be comfortable and raise a family in a nice environment is a uniquely American desire. Fun fact the "Australian Dream" is actually a bit more narrow, just owning your home.
Life's Gonna Suck When You Grow Up... But Is It That Great Now?... Also I'm Skylark2 now.You mean as Private Property, no mortrages?
Depending on the city, I wouldn't say that dream is narrower...
'''YOU SEE THIS DOG I'M PETTING? THAT WAS COURAGE WOLF.Cute, isn't he?The American Dream is supposed to be different from similar dreams in other countries by being so focused on the individual. Many pages back someone expressed surprise that Americans don't like hierarchies. It's not just about becoming more comfortable, it's about becoming individually independent, which puts a different spin on it.
I'm done trying to sound smart. "Clear" is the new smart.
Becoming truly independent is impossible. Unless you want to be a hermit who dresses with animal pelts and has regressed to the nelithic, some reliance on modern technology, provided by you fellow man, is indispensable even if you want to be a freaking poacher living in the wildrerness alone with no infrastructure whatsoever even electricity.
Besides, even if that much is possible, it is
- Stupidly uncomfortable
- Unsustainable: if everyone did it, the USA would lose most of its population in a couple of months. Due to STARVATION. AND DISEASE.

'''YOU SEE THIS DOG I'M PETTING? THAT WAS COURAGE WOLF.Cute, isn't he?If you call a "dream" what everyone strives to get when they immigrate... the French dream would be: getting good social services, free health coverage, good security thanks to efficient police work, the right to vote in a functioning democracy, the chance to study in public higher education institutions (the best universities in Europe are public and rather cheap) and get a good job where people respect you... And, well, they won't get that if they immigrated illegally, but their chiodren will, just by being born there. Same for Spain and even more so for Germany. Don't know about the UK though. And nobody goes to Scotireland, it is full of Scotirish people.

'''YOU SEE THIS DOG I'M PETTING? THAT WAS COURAGE WOLF.Cute, isn't he?Uh... Glasgow is in the UK.
Not sure what the "UK Dream" would be, but I guess along the lines of the French one.

Hollywood Atlas meets Affectionate Parody. Don't expect malice (or bigotry, or just plain ignorance) from Raw Power. At least not factual ignorance. Me having never experienced racism yet being part of the Acceptable Ethnic Targets, I tend to use N-Word Privileges where they don't belong. I still need to work on that.


No, I'm sorry, this is way off topic. Drop it, now.
You can make another thread if you want to discuss how much you think America fails.
