... and interested in culture, if you can believe that...

Though in all seriousness after undergrad I'd like to go backpacking across Europe for a few weeks and visit the museums and cathedrals.

 

 

 

Well fuck, now I have to visit Paris.

 

 

To Visit Disney?

 

Yes, but I was being a smartass.

 

 

As hard as it may be to believe, I gotcha... Even though I may be a redneck asshat, I am somewhat educated, mildly intelligent, and nearly well traveled.

 

That's why I was confused when you asked.

It's going to be tough trying to pick and choose what to see and what to miss given the time. Oh well.

There is so much shit to see in Europe. They have had millennia, while we are stuck at just a few centuries. The history is fucking amazing.

Reading this on university's site:

 

 

Considered to be the mantle of the medical profession, the white coat is a symbol of dedication and commitment to becoming a compassionate and competent physician. The 80 entering University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix students learned about the importance of becoming a physician, recited their class oath and were presented with their first white coat during a ceremony held July 18.

 

Then thought of the biggest asshole move: go buy a white coat online and walk around campus.

Resist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least they're only speaking of touching one ball. It is odd that Jordan has an alternative skin for ball feeling.

If there is only one ball, then it can never be gay.

Keep telling yourself that.

Nothing wrong with a five on one.

Too bad it doesn't work for Nikons.

I could finally catch up on my TV shows.

Also I've never seen a phone that will support more than a 64GB card.

 

Most newer phones will.

 

 

"Newer" being within the past six months or so, it seems.

But still, this iPod will more than suffice for my needs

He is thorough!!!

With a Nikon, if it gets dusty it's best to just throw it out.

But still, this iPod will more than suffice for my needs

If you find a cheep one they are great little players that you can just "throw away"

I dare guess more of the world travels to see a Disney park than they travel to see higher end cultural places.

Wow, just might be one of the dumbest things I have ever read on the internet. The world is idiotic, not that idiotic.

http://www.aecom.com/deployedfiles/Internet/Capabilities/Economics/_documents/2012%20Theme%20Index%20Combined_1-1_online.pdfDisney has a higher attendance rate than the top world wide museums. What other kind of culture gets 13 million visitors a year?J

Paris as a city gets way more, hell the fucking Louvre which is what 0.05% the size of Disney World gets nearly 10 Million. Your statement above was 'visiting culture' in which it is horribly outnumbers. By more than an order of magnitude.By the way, Disney is not culture it is sickening American shit that is akin to McPukes. Lack of culture perhaps, not culture.

Considering Disney is in Orlando http://www.ibtimes.com/orlando-surpasses-new-york-most-visited-us-city-1574621Paris does get more but not as much of a gap as may be expected. http://www.thelocal.fr/20140311/paris-still-worlds-top-tourist-destinationAnd for ParisHigh end cultural places. That would be a museum, the ballet, orchestra's or the theatre.Disney is still culture by definition. While it may not stack up to your level of what is good culture, it still is.J

Culture - the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=cultureDisney doesn't make that cut, if you think it does that is seriously sad. Very sad.44 million people travel to Paris a year. All of them to experience the culture of the city. Orlando has NONE. May have visitors, but they aren't there for a cultural experience.

Human intellectual achievement can mean many things. Do you consider the arts such as music, illustration, dance, and literature pieces of culture? Disney has provided all of those things.

Yes Millions of people visit Paris. I do not dispute this fact. But what aspects of culture do you think they are there for? Additionally the meaning of 'culture' changes by environment. The world's fair back 60+ years ago was considered a cultural wonder. Something everyone should experience. Now it has been dwindled down to sluts in skimpy clothing plugging a product they have no fucking clue about. Is that cultural? All depends on where you live.

J

Hillbilly idiots akin to what you find in Deliverance are culture by your definition.

You are making me feel sorry for you J.

Honestly, your view of culture, based on your arguments, is exceptionally narrow minded.

 

I will agree with J on these points. The "culture" in Paris sucks dick... and yes, I have been there. Collections of art and culture from artists outside of France does not constitute Paris as a cultural godsend, no matter how impressive the Louvre is. The majority of that art is from Italy anyways.

 

And fuck Parisians, the giggly girls at Disney are far more polite and receptive than anyone I met in that stinky shithole that houses the Eiffel Tower.

So a desire of education is narrow minded. That's funny.

Paris, Rome, Tokyo - doesn't matter which. Just ain't idiotic Disneyworld crap. Really easy to define and understand, just look at the average person desiring to go there. Sure Paris attracts a ton of dipshits, but nothing compared to things like State Fairs which are akin to Disney.

 

Not my point at all.

 

Disney is, no matter how much you choose not to believe it, a cultural icon. Take 1/2 the paintings in the Louve and ask anyone in the "civilized" world who envisioned and portrayed them. Now, take 1/2 of the characters at Disney and ask the same people who envisioned and portrayed them.

 

Guess which collection wins.

 

No, Disney is not DaVinci, Michelangelo or VanGogh, but it defines a single culture far more than any of these artists do. It is also more recognizable.

 

Culture is not defined as what you think is impressive, rather it is a definitive representation of an age or civilization... and Disney is synonymous with the single greatest nation in the world today.

 

Sure, while I abhor the people, I would rather walk the hallways of the Louvre than the sidewalks of Disney World, but you can't deny the impact that Disney has had on our culture, or the world, unless you are narrow minded or completely self-absorbed.

 

And to further my point...

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_Paris

 

 

Disneyland Paris, originally Euro Disney Resort, is an entertainment resort in Marne-la-Vallée, a new town located 32 km (20 mi) east of the centre of Paris and is the most visited attraction in all of France and Europe

 

Yet I have never seen Louvre, FL USA.

cultureless is not culture
