I disagree, it's the diversity of Europe that makes it culturally interesting.  One of the reasons it can be so difficult to talk to an American about anything is because most of us never really have to think about dealing with other cultures.  It encourages us to become narrow-minded.

Everyone there is in a competition to prove who the biggest c*** in the city is. Seems like the people in public facing jobs are way out infront though.

National parks that are operated by federal tax dollars and filthy socialism. Just imagine how much better they'd be if they were controlled by the private sector.

First I heard anyone say Europe is culturally boring.

I guess The Netherlands is culturally boring. Countries like France, Germany, Great Britain, are culturally interesting. But because we all have separate cultures, it feels boring because we're isolated from each other... this isn't the case with the US. Of course there are disadvantages because this might make Americans more ignorant but I don't think that's a cultural disadvantage...

Are you high?  :lol

You haven't been around I guess.

It sounds like you're more interested in the present-day art scene, in which case I can somewhat understand idealizing America.  At the same time, I just found a huge list of present day Dutch novelists and some of it sounded pretty interesting  Also we've had massive cuts in art spending. the right-wing would just as rather not have any artists whatsoever residing in the US. 

  I often think about European culture and and Europeans cultural heritage synonymously which was what confused me about the idea that America has a superior culture to Europe.

Funny story: I tried finding a nice Dutch book on Vincent van Gogh's life. Couldn't find one, ended up reading a book by an American author instead. :lol

Thats a great story about how cultured you are.

When I want some van Gogh I just go to the amazing van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. Which is next to the Rijksmuseum which celebrates Dutch history.

Wow. Just wow. I didn't come in this thread expecting to own ignorant dumbfucks like yourself to this degree. Van Gogh was subsidized all right. By his brother, not the government. If it wasn't for him, Vincent would've probably starved to death somewhere in Belgium. His art wasn't exactly recognized by the world soon after his death, and you're telling me "if [my] art needs subsidies, maybe it's not worth it"? Bububu Rembrandt didn't need subsidies. Not every artist gets recognition like Rembrandt. Most artists get a fucking dog's life. Don't talk about art if you don't know shit about it, aniki.

So wait, because van Goghs brother helped Vincent, the Dutch taxpayer must pay lazy bums that rather paint then work too?

Keep on smoking  :dur :dur :dur :dur

Rembrandt didnt make for arts sake but was a fucking commission worker, much like people that work in advertising today.

Wow, looks like I upset the big bad translator that knows his shit. You have no fucking clue what I'm talking about. When a Dutch politician chooses to use the words "not done" to describe something that is inappropriate, why not simply use the word inappropriate? Because using the British term "not done" is more fun. If it's more fun, where does that leave the Dutch terms and words that could just as well and just as accurately convey the sense and meaning the speaker was going for? It must have meant the Dutch words were too boring to use. I think I already made that clear in my previous post. The trouble is not English words finding their way in Dutch. It's Dutch being fucking boring for the Dutch, so much so that they use English words when there are beautiful Dutch equivalents. I'm well aware of loanwords. I'm also aware that language is not a static thing "like [I'd] like it to be". You clearly don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Great anecdotal evidence. Please tell me more about how the Dutch language is in disuse from your extensive knowledge of it based on a 5 second news clip.

Since when is extolling the rich history of a country outside the fucking classroom reserved for 'ignorant nationalists'? You can laugh at me all you want for not having received proper history lessons in school. It's not about students of history, it's not about history for the sake of history. History being culturally relevant only because it is history and has therefore inescapably shaped the future, is fucking boring. This is a problem that goes beyond the classroom.

Do you even know yourself what your point is? I don't know what you expect, but then neither do you apparently.

sponse to some nonsense you were talking about art. You respond to my response, and the only thing you do is reveal more confusion about art, which I could respond to, but will not to save myself the time and confusion. I mean, a lazy bum that rather paints than works? How is paint not work? How is toiling in the blistering Arlesian sun like a fucking Mexican not work? If the thing that needs doing does not get money or food on the table, it is better to starve to death than do some phony bullshit for the sake of what is considered 'work'.

Amazing point.

I bet thousands of Dutch factory workers across the nation look forward to subsidizing lazy bums TOILING IN THE BLISTERING ARLESIAN SUN.
