no, we don't have a lower culture here, because our conservative government policy condones the export of asbestos, and because our 'culture' is superior, therefore it must be acceptable.
furthermore, i will define culture in a way that any such nonsense i spout will therefore be true, regardless of whether that understanding of 'culture' approximates reality, or not. and no, just because the chinese have five centuries of history, culture, and accomplishments (in every known facet of study) doesn't mean they come anywhere close to what we here in canada have accomplished.
and yes, i will paint all of those asians with the same brush, despite the fact that there are over a dozen different cultures there.
