You know what's amazing? How cultures can be so very different, and yet have so many similarities. For example, in the Chinese culture babies are dressed in crotchless pants rather than diapers and are encouraged to piss and shit in the streets, while in the German culture mannish women are often dressed in crotchless pants and encouraged to piss and shit in the streets by furiously masturbating men in diapers. You see? So similar, and yet so different.

What's that? You want another example? OK, you fucking retard, let me spell it out for you. In my culture, a baby shower consists of a bunch of women snacking on tiny cream cheese-based sandwiches, drinking Diet Sprite, listening to Michael Bublé, and watching the mother-to-be open one Baby Gap gift card after another. In the Mexican culture, a baby shower consists of a five-year-old drunk on Dos Equis, a male guest shooting his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend -- also a guest -- in the stomach, and the mother-to-be getting beaten "with a large stick."

But you know what? That kind of cultural variety is what makes life exciting, and what makes me really appreciate all of humanity in a non-judgmental way.
