Welcome to IWETHEY!

New There is a book with words and definitions of those words.
It's called a "dictionary".

And most of the ways the middle class are bland are ways in which it's *good* to be bland. Like not strapping explosives around one's paunchy waist and blowing oneself up in some bland public market. I'll take that kind of blandness any day.
You say "most", but you only give one isolated example.

How many Palestinians are there? How many of them have turned to suicide bombers?

Once again, statistics are beyond your grasp.

The West has, in the past 100 years, turned out a handful of great novels, jazz, and that's about it.

On the other hand, we have also created pet rocks, junk bonds, EST, talk shows, and so on.

As a nation, we are obese, ill-informed and pre-occupied with mindless gratification (fat, dumb and happy).

I'm glad you support that.

Well, at least we aren't suicide bombers.

Remember kids, no matter how pathetic you are, there's ALWAYS at least ONE other person in the entire world that you can say you're better than.
New Maybe you're being a bit hard on our salarymen?
(George Babbitt, Sinclair Lewis' prototypical Murican biznessman, that is.)

Sure.. we brought the world nukes.. but also, turn of last century - the Company Band! with real people playing music, some of them reaching virtuoso accomplishment. All gone now, of course -- except in UK, where the phenomenon yet flourishes.

And yes, maybe we invented the Corporation and its utter freedom from any $ocial responsibilitie$ for Its actions, called it 'capitalism' and.. set the stage for It coming to rule.. over prior and largely impotent 'governments'.. but also, we trashed the rails and other efficient mass transport for 'city enclaves' + burbs, dead downtowns and a massive [oil] thirst: exchanged for personally owned Troop Carriers! (well.. no tracks. Yet.) And eliminated the exercise of walking, to boot! (ergo the physical status you described.)

OK I misspoke: you're being soft on US, 'cause.. there's more....
