only highschool kids that never traveled anywhere else do.

What is being cultured? I doubt anybody out there who says, "pssshhh you yinzers are so uncultured" know all of Beethoven's symphonies, have a strong education in the history of theater, know every artist, been to every American and European art museum, follow all the latest scientific theories, read Steven Hawking, etc etc. The human brain can only absorb so much.

Being a person who has an intellect to want to explore arts, music, and science is being cultured to me. The same percentage of people who have a desire to feed their intellect with arts and culture are probably the same everywhere. The same percentage of people who only know American Idol and the Biggest loser are probably the same everywhere.

Some people mix culture with class. Such as putting your napkin on your lap at a McDonalds, or knowing the rotation of silverwear before a dinner. This is not culture, this is just stupid.

Not only highschool kids........I think in another thread I said why I thought PGH was uncultured. I give PGH credit for having alot of nice art galleries but that alone doesnt qualify for being cultured. JMHO
