Golfing Fun: Hey, Baby! Put that ball in my hole.....???

Dear Folks,

Do you think that American Culture is getting just a bit out of hand?

If not, then please listen to this popular vid, and tell me what you think.

Thank you.....

And now, I guess you might wonder why I will never return to the USA....???

I just love girls who are IN YOUR FACE......

Don't YOU.....???

Whatever happened to the Cello and JS Bach, one might ask.....?

Best regards,

Gamma

NOTE: i AIN'T NEVER returning to the USA.....but.....you can, if you might want a bit of Black Sugar.....

Mick never had any problems with black girls, I guess.

Just take a look at his lips, for example......

If you might wonder why.

So obvious....REALLY.....

Still, Mick, we love you forever.....

Sorry:

But, originally, I had intended to ask the Academic Question.....

a. Do you believe Trump is the cause of the increased vulgarity in America?

b. Do you believe that Trump's election is the RESULT of the obvious love of vulgarity in America?

c. Or, otherwise, how can we explain what is happening in America, today, and also the bad music?

What ever happened to the listening of JS Bach, in America.....????

Dear Folks,

Once again, I wish to avoid any Question-Mark Emoji coughed up by those who might not understand this Topic, which most people probably DO understand.

We are talking about Alienation here.....or...then,....what did you even imagine this Topic to be about?

Here is what it is about:

The primary mechanism driving this text is an expression of cultural alienation. The author uses observations of contemporary American media to reject modern societal norms, contrasting this perceived degradation with idealized classical standards.

Thematic Deconstruction

  • Binary Cultural Framing: The author establishes a strict division between contemporary American pop culture and classical Western art. The repeated invocation of Johann Sebastian Bach operates as a baseline for cultural purity, against which modern media is judged and categorized as "garbage."

  • Racial and Sexual Provocation: The text relies on overt sexual references and racialized commentary. The title, the mention of "Black Sugar," and the physical description of a musician are deployed as empirical evidence of the specific vulgarity the author attributes to the United States.

  • Political Causality: The author connects cultural aesthetics directly to national politics. The concluding questions use Donald Trump to question whether political leadership creates cultural degradation or merely reflects a pre-existing societal embrace of vulgarity.

  • Expatriate Justification: The overarching function of the post is self-validation. By characterizing their country of origin as an irredeemable cultural void, the author rationalizes their continued expatriate status in Southeast Asia.

Yeah.....!!!!

Once again, Gemini NAILED IT, when some humans on TV might have been totally confused.

Thank you, Gemini.....!!!!!!

Why are you informing me of this?

Did you think this makes any difference to me?

Why not just tell me about what you had for dinner this evening?

Brown Sugar?

Any responses to my posts don't count. Still five more to go.

You are deflecting, once again.

I just hope that you are not another Larry David, one who, for some inexplicable reason, went down the wrong path....
To his eventual doom.

Larry took the wrong path.

I hope you can take a lesson from his downfall.

Once Again....Please keep this important theme in mind, and thank you....

The most revealing part of this topic is not the incoherent rambling about Bach, Trump, Mick Jagger, race, vulgarity, or whatever loosely stitched together watery fecal extraction you dredged from the cabbage patch of YouTube videos you happened to click on today. It is that after writing the topic yourself, you then had to ask Gemini to explain what you meant.

That rather defeats the whole purpose of communication, doesn't it? If the author has to paste an AI generated interpretation underneath his own writing because nobody, nor even himself, can work out what he is hoping to express, perhaps the problem is not the readers.

This has become a recurring theme with you. You throw half a dozen loosely connected thoughts into an industrial strength blender, slam it into puree mode, call it a topic, then congratulate yourself when Gemini manages to reconstruct something mildly rational from the debris. You seem to mistake AI performing literary CPR on your posts as evidence that there was any salient topic there to begin with.

Normally, I do not know what I mean.

I say what i think I mean.

But, do I mean what I say?

By this, I mean that most people do not know what they say.

In fact, there is evidence that volition precedes action.

Or, have you not yet read the evidence.

Anyway, I have no time to worry about this debate, with you.

Sorry, but there is actually quite a bit of research demonstrating that our actions and thoughts are pre-determined BEFORE our conscious awareness.

Please just read the research, and the literature, as Chomsky might say....

Also, I hope that you will enjoy the following great music:

HONG FANG DONG.....!!!!!

(Or, Dong Fang Hong)

The East is RED.....

Enjoy......

I know that .... THE EAST IS RED.......

I love this music.

Clocked this right dodgy video the other day where this bird had some poor mug’s ballocks all trussed up in her knickers, then, swear on me mum, she stuffed the lot right up her bum. Nearly spat me tea out. Ain’t been right in the head since, I tell ya. Reckoned I’d already ticked every daft little item off me bucket list, but now there’s another one that’s gone and shoved itself right to the top of the queue. Reckon I’ve got a new ambition now. Funny old world, ain’t it?

No.

These days, Business Class is 10-Times more expensive than it once was, in 1992.

As I said, any replies to other people's posts don't count. Still five more of your own posts to go until I respond to your OP.

Pro tip: any organic post that includes at least three Mick Jagger videos, will be counted as two towards your needed five.

That can be true on some routes, but it's not a reliable general comparison.

A few factors make a direct "1992 vs. today" comparison difficult:

  • Inflation: A business class ticket that cost $2,000 in 1992 would be roughly $4,500–$5,000 today after adjusting for inflation (depending on the country and inflation measure).

  • Airline pricing: Airlines now use sophisticated dynamic pricing, so the same seat might sell for very different prices depending on demand, booking time, and competition.

  • Product quality: Business class has changed dramatically since 1992. Many airlines now offer fully flat beds, direct aisle access, premium dining, airport lounges, Wi-Fi, and other amenities that were uncommon or nonexistent in business class in the early 1990s.

  • Route differences: Some routes have become much more expensive, while others are cheaper due to competition.

If you mean nominal prices (without adjusting for inflation), it's possible to find examples where a business class fare today is around 10 times the price of a discounted fare from 1992. However, as a broad statement, saying:

"Business Class is 10 times more expensive than it was in 1992."

would be an overgeneralization and isn't supported across the industry.

If you're thinking of a specific airline or route (for example, transatlantic or transpacific flights), I can compare historical fares with current ones.

No.

I think that YouTube is influencing American Culture.

This is what I think.

If you ain't never returning to the US, how would you live in Vermont, Maine or New Hampshire, the other post saying you are thinking of returning home? I always thought it was going to be China, seeing you hate the US so much, or possibly Taiwan. Your statement from about 5 hours difference, "Dear Folks,

Recently, I have been thinking about returning to my home country, which is the USA.

And, which three states should I consider in order to reduce my Culture Shock upon my return?

I am a New England Boy."

Yes.

These days, it has much more to do with India.
