BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES COME OVER HERE TO LIVE, RATHER THAN STAY IN THEIR OWN CRUMMY COUNTRY!!!
Since our industry is capital driven, they can stop it. All they have to do is stop watching and stop buying. Our industry will close up shop and leave.SamSpade said:I've heard dozens b!tch and moan about this concept - friends from other countries. They don't like the slow erosion of their own culture in favor of U.S. pop culture. Their TV shows are mostly American - they get CNN and the major networks. They watch the same movies, go to Wal-Mart, listen to the same songs - and they hate it.
Boo-f'in-hoo. That's life. It's not as though our culture was totally homogenous.
