    Are you in the US? That is the vision I have of the ‘American way’. In a way they are right, they get benefits from the system for playing the game like that.

    What I don’t like is that I see that culture permeating my country…

      Bingo.

      I studied abroad in Canada and Germany… the mentality there was not like that. It was far less hostile to education and learning generally. People in Germany used to compliment me for reading books and think it was good thing. In America, often, it’s considered negative and anti-social to read. It’s insane.
