What Irish dancing traditionally looked like vs the paedophilic cringe-fest for beauty pageant rejects the Americans turned it into, forever ruining the sport. This is the "traditions" they think they're "keeping". Rant incoming.
Not one of these Plastic Paddies takes an Irish (Gaeilge) lesson. None of them know how to play a traditional Irish instrument like the tin whistle, fiddle, harp, concertina, bodhrán… None of them know anything about the rich Irish history (starting from the Stone Age where some of the world's oldest structures were created to the Viking invasion, the Norman invasion, the early Christian Era where Irish monks traveled the world and created beautiful, decorative manuscripts, the cruel British rule and Ireland's eventual rebellion, the vast folklore…) beyond "I know they hate the Brits wooo Erin goo Braaaa". I'd be very surprised if any of them could make Irish stew or soda bread and didn't just assume Irish people eat canned meat and cabbage. I'd be even more surprised if they were aware of traditional Irish sports like hurling, Gaelic football and handball, they probably assume the Irish support American basketball and football teams that have leprechauns or shamrocks as mascots. How mant "Irish-Americans" can sing an Irish rebel song or even name three modern Irish musicians? They've reduced Irish culture to drinking and St.Patrick's Day. These people who claim to be "Irish" are allowed to be ignorant while Irish people know more about American history and culture than the Americans themselves. They're not keeping traditions, they're bastardising them.

>>274642It wasn't exactly lost. Every holiday currently celebrated in the US goes back to ancient European times even groundhog day. The holidays are of course heavily altered to suit modern times and capitalism just as Europeans no longer celebrate those holidays like they once did. Certain traditions depending on heritage are passed down in individual families too I imagine but yeah new nation, new ideas and a lot of mixing will smear tradition.

>>274642I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that people went to America for work. When you're serious about living and working in a country, you want to assimilate. Look up any old classified ads for factory workers, cleaners, babysitters etc. and you'll see that they often specify things like "white girl wanted" "no blacks, no Irish" "English-speaking only" things like that. You have to quickly learn English and then pass that down to your kids if you all want employment so 2nd generations don't speak the languages their parents know, only English is valuable. If you were partaking in sports or traditions that weren't American, you'd stand out a lot and you'd be stereotyped by your landlord or employer.
And then eventually people just forget what the traditions are because they're never passed down.

Plus people here get super obnoxious when the Super Bowl comes especially if you work/love in the city that it’s being held in or work/live in a city that’s being represented.

Yes, Disney World is in the armpit of the USA (yes, I believe Florida is one of the many shitholes here as well) but it does make sense from a money making standpoint for Disney to have two "great" (aka popular) theme parks on both ends of the USA. Universal Studios does the same thing (having a theme park in LA, CA and Orlando, FL).
The USA is large enough, geographically, to basically want to replicate money making establishments but, keep them different enough for in-state ppl to make the cross country travel if they can. Hence why in FL it's Disney World with some more cross cultural things (food establishments) and Disneyland is strictly American.
Maybe some ppl don't realize, but a lot of American "culture/values" and the decisions certain companies make like putting Disney World in Florida is purely capitalistic.
It's pretty bad here.

>>274969Americans do it for shitty cultural reasons. It started out as some bizarre Victorian Era cure-all, that was then used as a religious punishment in Christian and Catholic Schools. Then it persisted as a show of wealth, only rich white Christian boys had their dicks mutilated, unlike icky foreigners. And then during WWII it became mandatory cause of the health craze, even though uncirc'd dicks aren't dirty at all unless the rest of the guy is dirty. Then America started making up shitty health reasoning and skewing studies, hiding mortality and complication rates and the general american shittiness that they did after WWII because they had to take human rights into consideration. Now it's some shit parents do cause Drs. make bank off it. I know a few guys who's moms didn't want them to get cut, and their doctors purposely fucked with their dicks to make them have to cut it.
I don't think that it's a good thing, especially since it's extremely shitty to mothers. After I had my son the doctors and nurses tried super hard to pressure me into it, and this was a few hours after. And they don't even explain what's going on at all when they do it, seeing a video of the procedure would turn anyone away from it, but they don't because they "don't want to scare parents". I think the way they bully emotional mothers into it is sick, and I do feel bad for men who've had it done as babies/children. It should be a personal choice for them just like getting labioplasty would be for me. It's not right in all accounts. Worst thing is that most of those red states have the procedure covered by insurance for non-medical reasons.

asking a guy about whether he is cut or uncut isn't exactly something you bring up casually like your interests and such, in fact a guy might get weirded out or feel insecure if you ask him.

>>275034^exactly this.
i feel like i'm being guilt tripped for not ending up with the proper kind of human male, and that i'm missing out on sex the way it's supposed to be. and because of this i will live out a miserable, shameful life.
it has nothing to do with me making my boyfriend feel bad about his body. he treats me well and we have great sex. it has to do with other people putting me down because of something my partner cannot fix that was done to him when he was a newborn, and the complex/fixation/fetish(?) i've developed as a result.

also in response to being called a spoiled child for complaining about never experiencing an uncut penis… if there’s anyone who suffers the most from circumcision, it’s men not women. we have the freedom to choose a guy with whatever kind of dick we prefer. but once the men are cut, they are cut. their is nothing they can do about it.

However, although times could have changed since ten years ago, there were flag students assigned to raise it and take it down everyday. They were usually from JROTC (federal military program they allow in schools).
Also in my high school we were made to stand for the anthem every morning, but nobody had to place hands over their hearts like oldschool.
Although I'm sure today kids aren't even made to stand for it at all.

>>275130Only went to (elementary/primary) school in the US for a couple of years, but I do remember students raising the flag. If we got there before the school hours officially opened, we’d mill around the entrance where the flagpole was located, and right before we were admitted in, a teacher or other staff member would notify someone to raise the flag. I don’t think this was everyday; just routine enough for my foggy memory to retain it.
And we did the Pledge of Allegiance, which is basically a single verse. But yeah, every morning, students would get up, put their hand on their heart, and recite them.

The problem is, we're not granted the choice to seek other options because of healthcare privatization caused by insurance companies and the greedy powers that be.
It's either play the game, or don't have healthcare.
It's not a choice.
>they are absolutely disgusted by the thought of having to "pay for someone else's health care"This is a sentiment felt by people who 'tow the line' aka working-to-lower-middle-class citizens who make just enough to not qualify for any government assistance while paying the most in taxes adjusted for income earned. They're technically paying more taxes than the top 1%.
My paycheck is absolutely raped by taxes, for instance, but my hourly wage is only just above the poverty line.
People get caught in a toxic way of thinking because they fear that if they're taxed more for social nets that benefit everyone, they risk falling lower in financial status.
Unfortunately this fear is never articulated well and it usually comes across as "Pay for your own fucking welfare, poorfags!"
It's not that their fear is invalid (conservative government loves creating the boogeyman image of liberal social policy), look at all the fear-mongering that happened with Obamacare; the working and middle classes panicked when they saw their premiums increase.
Anyway, I just think it's a complicated social issue with many influencing factors that's way above most peoples' heads. It's way too complicated of an issue for the typical redneck who doesn't understand that healthcare isn't expensive due to illegals and abortions.

Honestly, the most anti-German sentiment always seems to come from the US. They (and to a lesser extent the UK) are the ones who keep on making WWII movies, games, books and other media and seem to think all Germans sound like Hitler did in those propaganda speeches. I’ve met Americans who were actually surprised to find out that the kind, soft-spoken guy in our group was from Berlin, because he “didn’t sound German” despite his very obvious German accent, and others who thought it was hilarious to greet the same guy by doing the nazi salute.

>>275658One thing to keep in mind is that America is large and not ethnically homogeneous. The perception is that poor people are people who choose to be poor and choose to live off of the welfare state. It's not entirely wrong.
>>275746It's relevant which country you are talking about.
No. 275791
>>275780Why would you highlight lack of ethnic homogeneity as a point to poor people being those who choose to be poor and live on welfare? Do you think there's a correlation?
Also, welfare recipients in the US are actually mostly white, even when controlled for population.

>>275791>Why would you highlight lack of ethnic homogeneity as a point to poor people being those who choose to be poor and live on welfare?It was in response to a Finnish anon asking why Americans are so resistant to paying poor people. I live somewhere fairly liberal and diverse, and this is the sentiment that I hear from people.
Also, your link moves the goalposts. The fact of the matter is that African Americans do indeed disproportionately use welfare services considering how much of the population they are.
No. 275797
>>275795But what is the connection between "choosing to be poor" and not being white? I was wondering what exactly your point was with that.
Also, disproportionate ≠ majority, anon. Using the lack of complete ethnic homogeneity as a reasoning against welfare is kind of dumb, because it implies you're cool with the majority of welfare recipients (who are white) even if they're just "choosing to be poor", but that 30% of African-American is some sort of weird
trigger.

>>275803People have less empathy for those who have different appearances, religions, cultural customs, and languages. When I do see people hating poor whites, they always paint them as "other." Those weird NASCAR-loving incestuous hicks. The easier it is to think of the recipients as "other," the easier it is not to care about them. Skin color makes it pretty easy for a lot of people.
As for the element of "choosing," I think it's part of the "just give a firm handshake with your bootstraps" mentality, and also people like to believe it won't happen to them. If it's not a choice, that means it could happen to them, too.
No. 275950
>>275780>>275795But this isn't an issue with "poor people". You don't have to be "poor" to be completely fucked over by having 500k in medical debt. If you get seriously ill with something like cancer, you will probably lose your job for not being able to work and you won't have an insurance. And the insurance will cap at some point anyway. It's something that could as well happen to someone in the middle class or upper middle class, not just those living on welfare. And what if your job's insurance is shit and won't completely cover something like your kid's treatment? Having free public health care isn't just taking your hard-earned money and giving it to Tyrone and Latishaquena cranking out kids while doing crack, it's there to cover the average person's ass in case of an emergency.
I swear America is the only country in the first world where I see people being completely financially destroyed by debt caused by health problems and you guys are defending it. This thread has definitely taught me a lot about the American way of thinking.

>>275950Healthcare, specifically? Most people I've talked to IRL don't like the current situation. However, a lot of people worry that changes to the current system will be worse for them personally. A lot of people with good jobs get healthcare through an employer and don't want to lose that. There are also a lot of Baby Boomers that just want to get theirs and fuck everyone else. The way things are currently, if you don't get insurance through your employer, being middle class is the "worst" because you don't qualify for free/reduced-cost healthcare and buying your own is very expensive. With ACA, people were told if they like their plans, they could keep them. This wasn't true, and better never means better for everyone.
Obviously, the healthcare lobby is ridiculous and needs to be shut down, but they own our politicians. With a single-payer option, we could solve multiple problems. Nobody would be deprived of non-emergency care due to poverty, and nobody would have to be driven into poverty due to healthcare costs. This would also drive the costs of services down to something more similar to what other developed countries have. This would make healthcare cheaper for people who don't want to use the public option, too, because there would be competition.

>honestly, anon, as an amerifag, you're just bad representation for americans. you're spouting bullshit about the ACA, you're praising employer health insurance as if it isn't typically shit and as if you're immune from benefit caps, lifetime limits, high deductibles, and limited options offered by employers, etc, and to top it all off, you still pay for it. why are you acting like it's not a shit sandwich?
>> With ACA, people were told if they like their plans, they could keep them. This wasn't true, and better never means better for everyone.
>it was literally designed to be better for everyone and it literally is. yes, it was said that people could keep their plans, but with a necessary condition: that the plans were not predatory or horrifically shit and offered no coverage. the people crying about their plans being cancelled are bitching about having consumer protections. they're idiots. they're crying because they couldn't get swindled anymore under the guise of being covered. i guess much like you are now, what with your blind praise for employer insurance (which you still pay for, which is still capped, which still has a lifetime limit, etc).
Nice strawman; it's clear you don't understand the complexities of the insurance marketplace in the US.
The ACA was pretty much written by/for insurance companies. It's not literally better for everyone.
I wouldn't say I gave blind praise to employer insurance, but quit acting like there aren't people with good insurance through their employers. Plenty of people would rather have that than roll the dice with whatever shitty idea the lobbyists design next.
It's not that the plans people had were outlawed by the ACA, it's that they were all canceled once the ACA came out. Lots of places only have one or two companies offering marketplace plans. What we had before was pretty bad, but that doesn't mean the ACA wasn't a shitshow.

>>276194thats just ridiculous, i could argue the same for england for LITERALLY HAVING A BEHEADING IN THEIR STREETS with no cops stopping them that one time, since i cant remember anytime in the US where a beheading occured in the fucking streets with people watching. but i wont because i realize it was a one off tragedy.
also america has a bigger population than these countries, its actually more surprising that more violent crime doesnt happen what with legalized gun ownership.

>Amerifags can say what they want, statistically both financially and violence/crime wise its a 3rd world country shithole. No matter how much you sperg about x y z you're a cesspool thats occasionally good for entertainment purposes. I love how anons talk about how everyone's in agreement that the health care sucks but when the fuck will it change? You can'f even vote right, Talk shit about germans for WWII (even tho do it was the Axis powers too involved so it wasn't even just Germans who fell for propaganda Italy&Japan too) But americans are literally brainwashed by the shit and dooms their whole entire country out of selfish anxiety yet won't stop complaining about their situation while also jumping to defend themselves when people complain about the absolute state of the place.

>>276809Yeah, I work in the travel industry and people who can afford to travel frequently are often very ignorant and entitled. Which is surprising because you'd think some of that money would buy these people some culture and manners. Guess not.
Frankly, if rich people treat customer service workers like shit and think they're in the right, I'm not surprised that they treat people where ever else they visit like petty commoners.
No. 277678
>>277626Yes, not "beat" but spanked when I misbehaved. I'm from the Balkans, so not American either.
I live in Northern Europe now and I often see mothers straight up ignoring their kids when they misbehave, my ex's mother didn't give a shit that her son was 25 and hadn't finished high school because she didn't care "as long as he's happy". He wasn't.
I don't even know how you're supposed to discipline your children in countries like this, they scream on the train all the time and disturb other passengers yet the women just ignore their cries and pretend they're not there, or let them run around. Raise your voice even a little bit and you're suddenly "abusive" towards the kid. If my mother heard me raising hell in public transport she would've set me straight in a second.
No. 277682
>>277678I think there's a difference between sternly explaining why something is rude to your kid and physically assaulting them (even spanking). I could be misreading, but do you believe that we
should be hitting kids?
I do agree parents shouldn't outright ignore and coddle their children, that's just the other extreme. Parents should teach children empathy as early as possible and be able to explain to them why doing certain things (running around wildly, touching strangers, stealing, etc.) is wrong. And this extends into teenage years, they should have conversations with their kids and give stricter guidance when necessary (like about schoolwork, explain that it's necessary for a more comfortable future).
But I could be biased because I was raised that way and I'm glad to not associate being assaulted with my mother. I've also not turned into a slacker, criminal, drug user, or anything, so stereotyping any kid who wasn't beaten to be a sloppy failure seems ridiculous to me. Sorry for OT sperg but it doesn't have to be one extreme or the other, in fact it probably shouldn't be either.
No. 277686
>>277682I'm not saying it has to be, I'm saying these people take it to the opposite extreme and it's a pretty common sight since I ride the train every day and a lot of mothers use it to commute to the centre. However, I also think explaining something to a misbehaving child is sometimes impossible, because when they're throwing tantrums they usually don't listen and are just pushing boundaries. Sometimes there have to be consequences more severe than being talked at for a few minutes, not necessarily physical, but consequences nevertheless. But some of these people believe that disciplining your child in public in any way is abusive, so they let them screech, throw tantrums, run around restaurants and bother other customers, and just act obnoxious in general. And I've noticed that younger people from the UK, Northern Europe and the Commonwealth in general tend to think like this which is just silly. Sure some kids are nice and can be reasoned with, but some can't.

>>277626Yeah I see this from African Americans a lot. They seem to find no problem with abusing the fuck out of their children and weirdly seem to take pride in it like "nawww now if he had a black mother! He woulda got his ass whooped
laugh cry emoji" and essentially making fun of white Americans because their parents don't beat them up. It's really strange mindset. There's heaps of videos I've watched too of black mothers videoing themselves humiliating/assaulting their children and putting it up on the internet and "black twitter" finds it hilarious.

>my momma gonna whoop me if she find out>my momma be be like boy you want a whoopin'It's not entirely attributed to the black population, though. Conservative Christian families do it sometimes, or just generally shitty parents do it. My bf's mom did it, and she was a shitty parent, tbh.
