Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, you might be right, but it tends to freak me out whenever I drive by places where I see gun shops right in the middle of town (sometimes right by schools? compared to never having seen a gun store, ever, in my country) so it seems like a pretty major part of American culture to me.

Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but the thing to keep in mind is that many or most people in that town would never go into that shop, and might not even know it's there.

Obviously, it's hugely dependent on where exactly you are, and there are definitely places where guns are a huge part of everyday culture. But it's definitely not true across the board. Less than a third of Americans own guns, I believe.

Can't speak for ayrt, but: that's the exact point right there. It doesn't matter how many people frequent the shop, or if people notice it driving by, it's the fact that something very, very illegal in my country can be bought in a shop, in broad daylight, legally. That's what causes the culture shock.

Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

I'm not disputing that it causes culture shock. I'm disputing that it's "a pretty major part of American culture". A bigger part than in other countries? yes, absolutely, no question.

NAYRT

Why are you splitting hair about this in a thread about what foreigners notice about American culture? The foreign perspective is likely to take notice of aspects that Americans might not, and vice versa.

Guns of course appear a major part of American culture to foreigners, especially given the fact that they often come from places where there are hardly any guns at all.
