Some people can’t stand a breast picture on a T-shirt but are confortable with homeless people begging in the streets. Its unfortunately not an US specific problem even if the ultra-something are more powerful and well structured there.
Yes, the US is prude….sometimes it’s bad or stupid, even hypocritical, other times it preserves a semblance of good taste (as an example I think some BBC shows really try to be in bad taste just to prove they can.)
This is not to say I’m against the female breast…far from it. I’m a big fan.
As far as the rest of your post, I’m not sure what you are trying to say.
In London, I see panhandlers too. And I probably would in Paris.
The USA does have rich people. Just like other places.
If you want to compare the “Have & have not’s”… I suggest taking a look at places like Mexico and India.
From what I’ve seen of the “third world” I can say that even poor Americans live better than most people in those countries.
Is the U.S. perfect, far from it.
But when my European friends commenet about the U.S. I ask them to remember, the U.S. is never going to like Europe.
It’s a county made of of different cultures..(the way European counties are now changeing due to immigration). It’s never going to have many of the attitudes found in the rest of the world. Remember, it’s a young country, we’ve all been in pubs that are older than any buildings in North America.:)
It’s a very different place, and despite having the same language as the U.K. it’s a different culture.
