Understood, well argued. As an aside, I've know a lot of aussies and I have found their "leftism" covering an ethnocentric arrogance that they have a hard time seeing. I think the hope is that authentic experience with international perspectives make our own sense of ourselves different. We tend to being ingrown, solipcistic, as a nation. This is a pretty theoretical stance, (but what the hell, the thread got hijacked away from underwear) perhaps knowing more about Laos and Denmark might better inform our own ideas of the good ole usa.

I don't really disagree, but that doesn't make it much easier to do in a practical sense.

In my opinion it is to do with the 21 year old drinking age. I think accepting full maturity in the eyes of the law at age 18 sub consciously makes people mature earlier.

All springbreaking to the contrary, naturally. I grew up where there was no drinking age, and I am still very immature, as evidenced by my participation in a message board discussion of speedos and ugg boots.

ding ding ding...the most ridiculous opinion i have read on these boards all year!!!! congrats!!!

Point goes to TIMIS. that's the match.

Shit, guys. That isn't that ridiculous of an idea. Why dismiss it out of hand like that?

Maybe cos I've been drinking pretty much regularly since 15-16 anyway.

My favorite falacy of most arguments here is:
Americans, are generally supposed to be illinformed nincompoops concerned with fashion, 'partying' and music

I was actually implying that Americans weren't concerned with fashion (see: 'undershirts').
