Different cultures of Apricity!

[Journeyman26]

Here is my impression of the best and worst of every culture on Apricity, as I see it. Feel free to add, but you must add a best and worst.

Greeks -
Best: Love to talk about their rich and colorful history! It seems that even the average Greek has a working knowledge of ancient + modern Greek history.
Worst: Tend to take things too personally. So used to defending themselves that they will take even a minor criticism or historical question as a personal attack.

Germans + Scandinavians-
Best: Bring there bright minds and analytical nature to add well reasoned arguments to many threads.
Worst: Can come off as condescending when angered, in a superiority complex sort of way.

Hungarian
All I have to go off is Stears.. and well.. I don't feel like going there.

Balkans (Albanians, Serbians, Bosnians, Bulgarians)
Best: Very active! Always willing to contribute to any topic and discussion with enthusiasm.
Worst: Turn to insults really quickly.. old feuds die hard.

British + Dutch (Behave similarly, I know they are different).
Best: For the most part respectful, active, and love to talk about european history. Some of my favorite posters from this group always with interesting threads (eg. Gooding)
Worst: Kind of like Germans.

French
Best: Same as British + Dutch.
Worst: Hmm not much to go on, haven't noticed that much. Sometimes a few posters insult Southern Euros to distance themselves from them.

Italians
Best: Love to talk Italy :) . Obviously love their country very much and want other people to love it too.
Worst: Super sensitive about being Southern Europeans. Popular target for trolls because of this. I personally wish South + North Italians would find a bit more common ground heh.

East Asians -
Best: Very respectful.. love to participate in discussions.
Worst: Honestly, all the ones of TA I have come across are very likeable.. nothing bad to say (eg. Zhaoyun).

North American (US, Can)
Best: Love to talk about European history, european culture, european everything really! Gives them a way to connect with their past.
Worst: Can be super militaristic and dogmatic about ethnicity and culture from their ancestral homelands (real or where theyd like them to be, usually UK and Germany). Some can get pretty dang insulting some times to other groups (eg. PrisonerofIce)

South American -
Best: Same as North American.
Worst: Can be super dogmatic about how they view South Europe

Spanish
Best: Like Italians, they love Spain and it shows :) .
Worst: Same as Greeks. Used to being targetted so super sensitive to it.

Turkish -
Best: Very active, love to talk Turkey. Beautiful country with beautiful people, and love to show off their history.
Worst: Home to the most active troll contingent on TA in my opinion.. targetting both euros and MENA alike.

Wadaad
Best: Keeps it
Worst: real

buuuump

[Cristiano viejo]

Multiculturalism has failed :p

[Gooding]

Turks:
Best: Always have interesting threads about their culture and the history of their people ( Gultekin).
Worst: A few of them can be rude to those whose cultures were at one time subordinate to their Sultanate ( Greeks, Armenians), or to historical rivals ( Iranians).

Iranians:
Best: Their deep devotion and knowledge of their past and their love of their people.
Worst: Sometimes they can be quick to engage in a cyber battle with those they perceive as their enemies.

Chinese:
Best: Their knowledge of current and historical events in China and just about everywhere else.
Worst: When riled up, propensity to demolish all foes.

British ( and New Worlders of British descent :thumb001:)
Best: Their engaging threads and sense of attention to detail in their descriptions, their love for their people and history.
Worst: They can get really cold really fast when crossed.

Germans ( and New Worlders of German descent)
Best: Forthright honesty and detailed knowledge of their topics.
Worst: They can be very critical when they disagree with someone and express it bluntly.

Dutch ( and South African Boers):
Best: Attention to detail, thorough knowledge of what they're posting about.
Worst: Can be sarcastic and needling when crossed.

Italians ( and Italian New Worlders):
Best: They're warm and friendly people ( Journeyman26), they're quite detailed in their critical analyses ( Sikeliot).
Worst: Can fly into a passion when they feel their honor has been slighted.

Arabs ( and Arab New Worlders)
Best: Their posts are thorough and informative, generally warm and friendly people.
Worst: They can be relentless in exacting retribution when they feel their honor has been slighted.
Multiethnic European New Worlders:
Best: They are passionate about Europe and love their New World countries just as much.
Worst: They can be somewhat intolerant of those who disagree with them.
Spanish ( and Spanish New Worlders):
Best: They love their country and are friendly people.
Worst: They can be unforgiving to those they regard as their enemies.
Christians:
Best: They are friendly people who are willing to hear out the other side.
Worst: They do not react well to criticism and the subgroups of Catholic and Protestant can be cruel to each other at times.
Muslims:
Best: They are friendly people much more visibly involved with their faith than many Christians.
Worst: They can be defensive and quick to attack their enemies.
Jews:
Best: Tolerant and willing to hear out the other side.
Worst: Consciously Jewish, you hear more about their history than their theology ( I don't know.. I'd just like to hear more about their religious tenets).
Zoroastrians:
Best: Proud of their country and protective of their people.
Worst: They aren't too forthcoming about their beliefs either..
Atheists:
Best: They have a broad and detailed knowledge about their topics.
Worst: They can sometimes act a little patronizing ( I guess that's true of everybody, though).

You know, I really wish that people discussed their cultural traditions on here more than the genetic and taxonomy stuff. I just find that more interesting is all.

[Gooding]

That seems an easy enough request! :) For me and my family, while family means a lot, personal independence is treasured. We rarely hold family reunions, but when we do, we talk about current things happening in the family while the older people tell their stories about where the family is from, what their grandfathers and grandmothers did and we eat. There is always plenty of food and a lot of photo- ops. The men and the women tend to socialize among themselves. Those of us who go to church every Sunday might talk about our churches and the sermons we'd heard, while the atheists would discuss current events and politics with each other. Of course old family albums are brought out and we look at pictures of our great- great grandparents and we'd talk a very little bit about being English ( in the sense that X ancestor came from Shrewsbury or Gloucester).. love of Virginia seems to be something we all share in common. The older folks would talk about their aunts and uncles, where they came from, what they did and how their families connected with ours. When my sister Keli and I were growing up, we'd go to Sunday School and Church every Sunday and hang out at Granny McDonald's house in Falls Church for the afternoon. She would always make sure we were fed and welcomed us without question. She'd talk about her mother whenever I'd ask her and she spoke of the Pecot family in Louisiana and growing up Catholic. Her father, who was from Kentucky, was apparently very rarely around, so Granny couldn't tell me much about him. When we were very small, we'd visit Granny Gooding's house in Oakton every Saturday. She was more interested in talking with the grownups.. us kids were to be seen and not heard. The Goodings were a little stricter than the McDonalds, very old values.

It's great that you have that connection with your extended family. My family is nothing like that. I knew a few relatives growing up, but we never had that strong family identity...probably representative of our general cultural differences (I'm a Midwesterner).

[DarknessInside]

Here is my impression of the best and worst of every culture on Apricity, as I see it. Feel free to add, but you must add a best and worst.

Meta-Ethnicity: Italo-Hellenic
Ancestry: Italian, Greek
Country: Canada
Age: 26
Now I see why Roman Empire failed and collapsed... LOL...

[Gooding]

Well, my uncle Joe and his family still live in Loudoun and Fairfax Counties so we can see them every so often. I just described the first reunion since 1946 that happened the Summer of 2014, not long after I got back up to Virginia from Florida ( my divorce was common knowledge and my Uncle Calvin had just passed away, so those were topics we didn't discuss). It was really interesting to hear some of those stories.

Great to hear about your family Gooding :). My nuclear family are the only members of my family in North America, so our family events were usually filled out with family friends rather than blood relations. That being said, my fathers (Italian) side of the family has lived in the UK for ~120 years, so I got a chance to visit the UK often growing up. Even though my dad's family married within the Italian community of England (essentially no UK DNA in my 23andMe, ~7% north euro), they are loyal to the UK first, and my great grand father fought for England in WWI, and my Grandfather was an AA gunner in London during the blitz (then on to North Africa), my Grandfather even lost a brother who was in the Royal Navy to a U-Boat. Even now I have a cousin in the Royal Navy, he toured me around the HMS Victory at Portsmouth last year. My moms side of the family is Greek, mostly from the island of Corfu, but all over the place really. Long history in Greece, and I know that I had relatives in both Balkan wars, WWI, WWII, and the Greek Civil War (moms maternal side Communist, paternal side Fascist hah). My parents met when my mom went to London to do her PhD, and the rest is history. I also got a chance to visit Greece many many times growing up, but never learned the language.. which means I am not really that close with my mothers side of the family, which is a shame. Luckily, in midwestern Canada, I am really involved with my long term girlfriends family and their farm (I study Plant Genetics in University and love agriculture).. and they allllllllways have family around. Took some getting used to having like 10 people sitting around for Sunday Brunch.. but I love it.

Very dumbed down observations and look at the thumbs up. Lol

I just wrote what I have observed. If you don't agree let me know what you think! Its easy to criticize :)

[Marusya]

What about the Slavs? Outside of the Balkans? You left out Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Slovakia, Slovenia, Belarus, Czech Republic, Croatia, Montenegro, Macedonia... :)

[Thunder_shock]

North Euros (germans, scandinavian, British, french):
Good: tend to be slightly more thoughtful when engaging in most topics, discuss topics in a logic and constructive manner, leave their emotions at the door.
Bad: Can be condescending to others and have a propensity to look down on other cultures . Also most suffer from a superiority complex.
Meds:
Good: Are knowledgeable of their country's history and culture.
Bad: Seem to often be insecure at where they fit in Europe, have a complex where they need to prove they are "white", as a result they are constantly fighting to prove that they are "white" and are dissimilar to North Africans.
Balkans Good: keep the forum lively.
Bad: They are far too nationalistic and are as a result are engaged in repetitive pissing contests which reduces the quality of the forum and puts them in a bad light.

[Journeyman26]

I do not understand?

I suppose I haven't observed enough from them... any observations would be fairly arbitrary. Perhaps others can help me out

[Era]

I refuse to do such generalizations that mean nothing. Most people are their own person and have not much in common with their compatriots.

[Journeyman26]

Fair enough.. though anthropology as a field is essentially generalizations made through observation. Not exactly an empirical science. Though, your point is valid, not everyone conforms to a norm.

It seems to me that your family history and cultural experiences are a lot more interesting than mine ( not that that would be hard, of course). It's awesome that your family could put down such firm roots in the U.K. and then Canada! It's good to hear that you're so close not only with your own family, but your long term girlfriend's family as well! Very nice. :)

Sounds like in spite of not holding family gatherings often, your family seems to be very close with each other. Sadly I don't think some people put much emphasis on family these days.

That's just always the way things have been for us.:) I do notice the deterioration of family ties, too, and I think that's a major reason for so much unhappiness you see..

That surprises me, since you're part Sicilian. My cousin complained that Italian families were closer than our family. They always had dinners and celebrations together while we rarely even talked. He left out the fact that he moved across the country. Still, he had a point. One side of my family is more distant for a variety of reasons.

As King Kong mentioned, I'm only 1/8 Sicilian on my direct maternal line. My Sicilian great-grandmother married a Protestant German-American. Her family were devoutly Catholic mob types, and weren't too keen on the religious differences from what I've heard. Whatever the case, that side was heavily Germanized by the time you get to my mom, and she married a true blue WASP. So I share nothing with Italians culturally speaking, nor phenotypically either for that matter. Everyone in my immediate family has light eyes, and I and 3 of my 6 siblings have blond hair. I think of myself as German/Anglo for what it's worth.

[Smitty]

Best: You want to be included, accepted, respected and liked (who doesn't?).
Worst: You care too much about it.

I agree with this, King Kong. Your worth is not found in what other people think of you. I know I could benefit from my own advice as well.

All of these users from these countries behave the same way as other Balkan users.

The "Berg-Schola", the world's first institute of technology, was founded in Selmecbánya, Kingdom of Hungary[1] , in 1735. Its legal successor is the University of Miskolc in


Hungary.


BME University is considered the world's oldest institute of technology which has university rank and structure. It was the first institute in Europe to train engineers at


university level.[2] The legal predecessor of the university was founded in 1782 by Emperor Joseph II, and was named Latin: Institutum Geometrico-Hydrotechnicum ("Institute of


Geometry and Hydrotechnics"). The first steam engine of continental Europe was built in Újbánya - Köngisberg, Kingdom of Hungary (Today Nová Baňa Slovakia) in 1722. They


served on pumping water from mines.




The first steam engine of continental Europe was built in Újbánya in 1722. It served on pumping water from mines.[19][20][21][22]




Hungarian inventions: noiseless match, first flyable rigid (aluminium) airship, first electric motors(1827), first Transformer, electricity meter, cascade connection,


paralell connection, first tungsten light bulbs, krypton electric bulbs, Telephone Exchange,cyclotron, nuclear chain reaction and nuclear reactor, first atomic bomb, first


H-bomb, Quantum Theory, Game theory Flow- theory, "charge-storage" physical phenomena, a pioneer in developing Electronic Television and camera-tube (1926) and invented the


Plasma TV (1936) and Infrared camera (1929).

Hah to be clear, Stears, I didn't include Hungary because I haven't really seen many of them around on TA except you, so any observations would be based on solely on you. But you do seem to be very proud to be Hungarian, which I suppose is a good thing. Also to add to you list, Italy has 20 nobel laureates, 1 of which was born in Switzerland (Daniel Bovet, physiology 1957)

Its very true.. I grew up with my mom telling me ancient myths instead of fairy tales. To this day, The Tasks of Herakles (she was always very strict on me calling him Herakles, not Hercules) is my favorite story.

If he has one distant Sicilian ancestor I'm not sure if he grew up with his Italian family.

One tradition I know of for most Italian-Americans is that the family all gets together every Sunday for dinner. My own family did this for a long time when I was growing up, but in the last few years this hasn't happened as often anymore.

Haha well sort off, all Balkan people : Slavs, Albanians and even Greeks ( I think ) have this.
From what i've seen with my other Slav ( not South Slav ) friends is that they are easily provoked drunk, while sober not so much while Balkanics get super angry as soon as you call their Mother a whore even as a joke. The user Veneda said so to, it's more South Slavs and less other Slavs.

For example my friends mother who is Polish tells him ( she had been to Yugoslavia back in the day ) don't provoke your friend ( me ) because i've seen those Balkan people they go beserk at the minimal thing :lol:

As King Kong mentioned, I'm only 1/8 Sicilian on my direct maternal line. My Sicilian great-grandmother married a Protestant German-American. Her family were devoutly Catholic mob types, and weren't too keen on the religious differences from what I've heard. Whatever the case, that side was heavily Germanized by the time you get to my mom, and she married a true blue WASP. So I share nothing with Italians culturally speaking, nor phenotypically either for that matter. Everyone in my immediate family has light eyes, and I and 3 of my 6 siblings have blond hair. I think of myself as German/Anglo for what it's worth.

That's pretty neat, though.. a bit of variety in the blood. :) I'm 1/8 Cajun French myself, but my great grandmother married an Anglo, my grandmother married somebody from a Scotch- Irish family and my mother married an Anglo..so here I am. I think of myself as very English American ( as two of my four grandparents were almost exclusively English ( with some German thrown in.. Dad's 1/16 Virginia German, one great- grandparent was Anglo with about 1/8 German blood, Mom's 1/32). I'm about as English as an American can get without extensive endogamy). I don't think that having less than a quarter of non- British blood makes me much of a mutt and my Scotch- Irish grandparent has English blood through his father's mother ( Cecil) and his mother's mother ( Perkins).

[Brianna]

If he has one distant Sicilian ancestor I'm not sure if he grew up with his Italian family.

One tradition I know of for most Italian-Americans is that the family all gets together every Sunday for dinner. My own family did this for a long time when I was growing up, but in the last few years this hasn't happened as often anymore.

My cousin mentioned that. We always got together for holiday celebrations and dinners, as well as cookouts. Sometimes, we went out to dinner at restaurants on weekends. Cousins also visited from time to time. This was mainly on one side of the family, though. The other side was closer in the past. In fact, there was a time when both sides were close.

Yeah, I would agree you're probably in the top 10% of "most Anglo" Americans. :) For my part, I wouldn't mind some of that ethnic purity. Like we discussed on another thread, mutts like me don't have a whole lot of identity. Or rather, we have to make/choose an identity rather than having it handed down to us. But I'm way off topic here, so I'll shut up.

That is quite alright.. I don't mind seeing where the thread goes. Very interesting topic anyway. As a Midwestern Canadian with half Italian (within the UK Italian community) and half Greek DNA and limited family on this side of the pond I know all too well what it is like to not fully have a culture to call your own. I think that is why I am so interested in history and cultural diversity within Europe. I love Canada, and see myself as Canadian first, but its not really my heritage.

But I'm way off topic here, so I'll shut up.

Of course, one could argue that all " purity" means is that one's ancestors never got out much. :) I hear you, in fact, I was in a similar situation in reverse. I was using those readings from Gedmatch to try to " prove" that I was more mixed than I actually was. Recently ( you can read about it in another thread), I had an awakening of sorts. I realized just how Anglo- American I actually was and all the emphasis on being around 1/16 or so German or 1/8 French Cajun wouldn't change the basic facts about my ethnicity. 23andMe reads me as having 0.2% Native American Ancestry. I did some research. That goes back to the early seventeenth century and a quarter Miq'maq, quarter Abenaki and half French woman known as Catherine Lejeune. Two of her daughters married into the Prejean and Pellerin families via the Savoies and that's why I have the whole 0.2% American Indian blood. That was when the Protestant Reformation was going through its growing pains. I type that to let anybody who reads as 0.2% of something has it almost in the mists of antiquity, if it isn't noise. If you're multiethnic, good on you! You could see yourself as having the best traits of all the elements of your heritage.

[Gooding]

Absolutely true, and I do. Most Americans are fairly mixed, so I'm probably in the majority in that regard. I meant only that there's a simplicity to the ethnic purity of Southerners/Mormons that I sometimes envy.

ok I go with my impressions in Apricity

Spanish: the best: They are the best people of Apricity. They are handsome (me the first), beautiful, intelligent, pleasant, cultured, with sense of humor and proud of their past.
the worst: Absolutely nothing.

Portuguese: the best: They behaved as our brothers, what they are.
the worst: They dont admit that they are Spaniards too.

Italians: the best: Some of them are friendly with Spaniards, Ierax, Ulla, some Sicilian users...
the worst: They are fully obssesioned with Spaniards, overall the Terrone (Southern ones).
Wait, perhaps that it is the best ;)

Greeks: The best: No problems with them at all. I dont cross many posts with them anyway. I laugh a lot with the Linet smilies.
The worst: their trolling toward Albanians. They should do harder ;)

Albanians: The best: none lives in Spain.
The worst: primitivism, savageness, uncivilized, mediocre people. Kastrioti their best exponent, their vizier.
They deny or minimize constantly the crimes of Albos around Europe.

British: The best: They are educated people, I had a vision of them as hooligans but I was wrong.
The worst: They are the descendants of pirates ;)

French: The best: Respectful people normally. Rudel, D´Sanglard, Jean le Bon, Ivan Kramkoi... good people.
The worst: They dont admit our clear militar superiority in past.

Scandos: The best: A few times you can talk with them peacefully.
The worst: People like Dombra, who knowing his Mongol admixture wants that Southerners feel mongrels like himself and insult like a crazy in his Mongol pony imitating Gengis Khan :fhhorse:

Russians, Bulgarians, Poles, Ukrainians, Estonians (are there Estonians here?) and Eastern Euros are a bit invisible for me, I dont talk too much with them.

Jews: the best: Longobowman, Mark, sometimes Horatio aka Don Coyote xD
the worst: Anglo+Jew and his obssesion with Goyims and pretending be Whites.

Mexicans: the best: Very friendly people. When I arrived to this forum I did not know how Mexicans really are.Nice people really. A nice surprise to me.
the worst: nothing :noidea:

Argentinians: the best: Very friendly too.
the worst: They support Messi the Dwarf ;)

Brazilians: the best: Also very friendly. The Brazilian-Welsh, LESM, Also, Curupira, good people.
the worst: idk

Another Southamericans to highlight, Incal the Peruvian, a bit perverted but nice guy ;)

Americans from US: the best: most of them are respectful people: Gooding, Isleño the Canarian guy, Mark and Horatio the Jews, Alnortedelsur, Hill35 aka Captain Murdock for me :cool:, Journeyman, my bald friend Jim Crow :D

[Μιχαήλ]

I think we Ελληνές are markedly more complex than what is explained by Iberia-Hellenic. I think a short exposition on the modern Hellenic condition is warranted. My people are actively divided in to two distinguishing categories: the Έλλνη and the Ρωμαίος. I shall expand on that information. A Έλλνη is a person who is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the ancient Hellenic milieu, and the adoration of the Pantheon. A Ρωμαίος is a person who is Orthodox Christian and propagates Βυζαντινισμός or ecclesiastical dogmatism and superstition. The assertion that Hellenism and Orthodoxy are compatible is incorrect.

[Mortimer]

Ok here is my take on a few cultures on TA

Americans: all good people so far
British: all good people (only Germanicus was exception but he is not active anymore)
Dutch: Represented by Bjarte and Beitel, im sure they are not the average dutchman though
Spanish: Usually dont disturb me
Italians: not many left
Albanians: i like mellow chloe and kurt
Turks: Most are good people on here
Germans: Represented by far right types (Leliana, Grenzland, Jarla, Austo/i count him as German but he is Austrian) usually dont disturb me though, except Leliana (but she was worse in the past)
French: They are all handsome here (think of petalpusher and rudel)
