In germany we call it streitkultur. We had a politician here, he is named Oskar La Fontaine. He has written a book. this is streitkultur. but the people do not understand (anglo-american reasons and behaviour) and take anything personal. this is the influence of cultures who do not have this cultural ability. when i see chris talking, i can feel that he likes those culture of the beer and wine people. he like germany, although british , and also the culture and the good wines. he is much influenced of this culture. so this might be a reason why he behaves as he behaves. because he sees it as a major part of beeing culturious meanwhile the others believe in other values. i can live with this, coming from the same background.
