Well, while I've lived all over this side of the world, I've never lived anywhere outside what legally constitutes North America, and while people like to pretend that american islanders and american mainlanders and Canadians are any different from each other .... they really aren't. Ergo, I've got no idea what kind of culture I do and do not follow

Well, actually, I don't give a shit about tradition, hate holidays, avoid most prepared food (vegetarian because I'm allergic to lactose and a lot of meat) and like to study/eat/play/sleep on the floor as opposed to a desk, table or bed. Sex is good in bed, everything else is better on the floor. You have more elbow room. Anyway ... where was I ... oh right. Um, basicaly I'm just weird and thoroughly Canadian otherwise. (Was that redundant? Though Canadians really aren't all that strange as a whole.)

My parents were catholic island peoples in the gulf of mexico, but after my the car accident I moved around a lot with some different family situations and picked up what I liked from each of them. From age ten (after ending up in Canada) I was brought up on coffee, hockey, and potatoes. Those traditions I liked best (except for potatoes), and kept them.

The potatoes part I want no part of. Potatoes are not really food, sez me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm from Kentucky. I don't go cow tippin', moonshinin', gettin' my cousins pregnant (or anyone, for that matter). I do not like, however, wearing shoes.

Actually, most Kentuckians do not participate in any of the above- they're cultural stereotypes. Most do wear shoes, although I consider shoes not to be a sign of culture, they're just a sign of discomfort.

Let's see...

1. I don't do drugs, other than medication. So, does that count? (Using drugs is a culture, IMO)

2. I don't really care about all the feng shui stuff. So, that too?

3. Erm... I don't pray. (all the incense and stuff)

I was speaking idiomatically.

My ancestry is Cherokee Indian, German, Dutch, Welsh, Irish, and Scotch.

So...what culture do I follow?
To be honest, I really don't know much about any of my ancestry to much of anything.

I hate kielbasa and sauerkraut, though. And can't eat Ham and Cabbage for good luck on New Year's Day. My god--that stuff's nasty.

I think I can't follow cooking vegetables. Some are okay, but cooked cabbage, carrots, celery, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower taste nasty. And I think that drives my mom crazy.

I was born in the US, but my parents were first generation immigrants (Korean) who were pretty traditional, so I'm kind of a strange guy. I don't do a lot of things from either culture. For example, I don't drink coffee, I don't watch TV, and I won't wear jeans. From the Korean side, I can only speak very broken Korean, so I try to avoid speaking it whenever I can, and I don't play any MMORPGs (I also refuse to play DDR or anything remotly related to it).

Well Ireland and its culture stem from the church but I don't have anything to do with it whatsoever, i've gotten a fair amount off stick off people for choosing not to follow the religion, but its becoming more and more common now.

Also i'm not the biggest fan of vast oceans of alcohol, pretty much our national pastime here so I guess thats against my culture too!

being from the french part of canada (QUébec), I'M not supposed to vote conservative, since they represent the far right (i've heard it numerous times during the last campaign) and since i'm gay ("friends" compared me to a turkey voting for thanksgiving). On the provincial, this would keep me from vitng for the ADQ (of which i'm a member)
I also must demonize money and profit, since they were, for so long, controlled by the anglo bastard. Equally, I must bless our government, who has put down those bastards by taking control of the economy, hence our high taxation level

Of course, this is all sarcasm, but other French Quebecers (not sure about the English ones) could probably concur how our "culture" is indoctrinating us

I'm english, and live in an urban environment. I don't drink hot drinks.

This is interesting because when I'm at home my family will all drink tea...
...and when I'm out during the day my friends and I will often end up in a café and I'll be unable to drink coffee. :/

I'm Hispanic, but I can't tolerate any food that has chili incorporated to it. I don't like the spicy sensation that comes from tasting chili. It's pretty unnerving for me to go to family reunions where half of the food is chili-based since people tend to give me odd looks for my food preference. No chili con carne for me, thanks.

I have no interest in dairy work, if that's a trait of my particular region's Portuguese population .

Also, I refuse to eat most of the really Portuguese food, like morcella (blood sausage) and kale soup. I'll stick to the Sopas and Tremoços, thank you very much.

How ya doing, buddy?

But is it YOUR genetically predisposed culture? I don't think any of us who use drugs or have used them in the past can say that it's a cultural tradition passed on for generation. I'm sure there are a few who do, but for the majority I know I wasn't raised snorting cocaine; I did that shit on my own.

Now that I'm old enough to choose for myself whether I would like to partake in my father's cross country skiing expeditions, I choose to do something more fun with my time, like counting the number of times the word "faggot" is used on internet forums. I don't like cross country skiing. In fact, I hate it. First of all it's so painstakingly dull, just going mile after mile in some never changing snow covered environment. Secondly, it's a surefire way to catch a cold. I could be wearing a space suit in the middle of summer; the minute I strap those skis on is the minute my nose starts to run.

Downhill skiing on the other hand, now that can be fun.

Well I don't speak/read my hometown's dialect. I've been very lazy about it and I regret it. Oh, I also don't like nopales, but they aren't used that much on the local cousine anyways.

Zapoteco, and it's spoken widely in my area. They are plenty of groups who still mantain their dialects although it still represents a minority.

Oh, and...
I don't eat nopales either.


I've grown up Americanized and anything from my culture has not been introduced to me. My parents, once they got here to America, have left there old life behind except for speaking spanish or castellano as the Bolivians say(at least my dad's friends and family).

Okay, I'm not Mexican. Nahual's right.

I'm more of a spanish Hispanic (my family bloodline goes back to early New Mexico), but chili is an abundant food source over here. I don't completely understand why I don't like chili when I don't even know another relative who dislikes it. Weird genetics, I guess.

Well, let's see... I don't binge drink until I pass out and then wake up next to random various people with whom I may or may not have had unprotected sex with...

That is 1 thing from my culture I don't do...

Actually, on a serious note I don't hunt or fish. It's not that I'm against them ideologically or anything - I just don't enjoy hunting and fishing is fine but I never get around to it it seems. It's serious business around here - politicians are elected on the basis of whether or not they are sportsmen, in fact, for example.

My roommate's sister doesn't like Nopales, and she's quite Mexican (as is my roommate). However, she finds it amusing whenever Mexicans say that they don't like it.

I wish that Nahuatl was still spoken. It's one of the 'dead' languages I'm interested in learning (along with Latin and ancient Egyptian). But I suppose if there's still dialects that retain some of the characteristics, it's not completely dead.
