Bill Mays was cool the way he yelled at you, but wore too much 'Just For Men' beard dye - and I think that is what caused his demise.

That is a shame because most cultures have wisdom behind them born of generations of survival and adaptation. Total rejection of all cultures is just another irrationally extreme (and also impossible) ideal.
Mexico has an incredibly rich culture which does not just consist of "illegals" riding around in rusty pickup trucks. Have you ever read any Mexican literature or watched Mexican cinema? There are some gems!

I'll take all the good, and none of the shit that I don't want.

Maybe total rejection of totally every single aspect of all cultures is, but I don't see how generally rejecting all cultures is bad; it's not like the majority of things that humans do is good, anyways.

I know about Mexican culture, and I've been into the deeper parts of Mexico; just like how religions have some gems, so do cultures, but in general, I reject them all.

Fair enough...We all do our best to sort the dross from the gold, to use a gem of a religious metaphor.

If someone annoys me I won't chill with them but I don't care what they're like. If someones another colour that doesn't necessarily annoy me.
