And really, you're getting down and nitpicking to say that any little variation means its a different culture.

So, by that measure, because Bavarian "culture" is different to Berlin's "culture" they are not variations, but are completely different cultures? Gimme a break.


There are a few things that are common across nearly all regions, social strata, races, etc. in America, PB+J is one of those things. Baseball, apple pie, muscle cars, and steak are definitely part of "American culture" Things like gumbo and jambalaya, pizza, BBQ ribs, etc fall into the various "subcultures" (if you want to call them that) as each region will have its own way of doing it.

You are clearly not German, nor are you familiar with Germany as all.

Saying that Bavaria is similar to any other place is like saying that Texas is just another state...

A guy I know is trying to start up his own FLGS but nobody will lend him money without him having at least 2 years of business records for his LLC.

The obvious solution would be founding an LLC and conducting business as one.

Yes because people who need money for a company can easily just have money appear to start said company so later they can get the loan for the company. Did you even think about that response? Or was your need for trolling to strong? The point of my post was too tie into that white privilege BS that seems to go around. For me, being white seems to hinder me more than it does minorities. If I were a minority, then my company would of been funded, period.

I was stationed in Germany for almost 3 years... And my comment was more a jab at the person who said "there is no American Culture" Germany as a whole has a love of Beer, bratwurst, racing automobiles, and soccer. Bavaria just does it in a little different way, plus lederhosen and Oktoberfest
