No knocking on Denny's man. Spent many a drunk night sleeping in the stall until they brought somebody in to drag me out and who knows how many mornings (including the following of the previous events) drinking coffee and smoking an entire pack of cigarettes before they put the smoking ban in. Those waitresses and staff were practically family. |

I think the rest of the world just doesn't get it. The vast majority of Americans look at things like this and say "wtf?" along with the rest of you. It's just that we embrace all the weird crazy stuff that comes out of our culture, while many countries (I'm looking at you, most of western Europe) do everything the can to hide it and present a facade of propriety and civility.

That's why I ask,,,why do Americans always let me down I'm of the mind that we're no different than other nations. Every country has groups they'd just as soon hide from the rest of the world. What sets us apart is our population of 300,000,000. Our annoying little subcultures are big enough to be viable markets, making them unfortunately public. Add to that our current national obsession with "reality" television (fueled primarily by the media that makes money from it), and we get a media that takes all these misfits and trots them around in front of cameras for the rest of us to gawk at.

It's just another scheme in capitalism. In fact in you had said this is being done in Reno or Las Vegas it would be considered quite normal.
And the other posters are correct, every nation has its fair share of weirdos and cultural differences, they just always try to hide theirs while laughing at ours. For some cultures this is simply impossible as you have demonstrated. I'll you another fine example. Open up Google and switch to images view. Now without scrolling type the following:
American. Take note of what you see and type the next word:
European. Take note of what you see and type the next word:
Asian. Take note of what you see.
As demonstrated some cultures will always stand out compared to others. If a couple wants to get married and enjoy the All American Special at the same time who are we to argue? Do you smell what the Lock's cooking? |

Denny's shares the same crowd as Wal-mart. This means that you would have to explain to them in layman's terms what a Dietician is before you can include one, granted their insurance covers something like that. Do you smell what the Lock's cooking? |

The difference between the US and western Europe is convenience over quality of life. These are two completely different entities, but Americans don't make this distinction. As long as they have Wal-Mart, 24-hour anything, and their favorite chain restaurant, they could live in a toxic waste disposal site. Convenience is much, much more important to Americans than anything else, and I mean ANYTHING. This type of mentality perpetuates also the uglier side of the US such as the neocons and religious zealots, not to mention your everyday idiot redneck/gangster/thug. |

You mean I have to leave my house to go grocery shopping? **** that. I'm gonna set up a service where people will deliver that **** to me for free just because I'm lazy.
Then I'm gonna take a 1984 Cutlass and jack it up and put giant tires on it with spinners. |

Welfare is the least of America's problems right now. Rampant stupidity and ignorance among citizens is rotting the US from the inside out. Education and health care are two of the most important things to every single human being, yet for some reason not everyone is afforded these benefits.
You can't really explain this to very many Americans because it's all they've ever known. It's like explaining what the color red is like to a person who's been blind their entire life. I've lived all over the world and the US is not even in my top five places I'd like to live...and I'm American. |
