    What are the cultural regions of USA?

    How did they form? What are their specific traits? Stereotypes (even untrue, if marked as such)? If cultural differences coincide with geography, please mention in, too. In the questions about weird things people from different continents do somebody pointed out, that Europeans have little knowledge of this, so please fix my ignorance.

    Certain mountain in Central Bohemian Uplands. After short-but-intensive hike upwards, you get to wide park-like (the trees naturarilly grow such that they left good pasatges between themselves) mountain-top, with view-points from where you can see half of Bohemia. Then I slept here, and the night was bright, and even though I usually don't like the lights of cities, that time it looked like the stars were on the sky and also on the land.

    Could you elaborate on the lost sense of traditions?

    Also I don't agree with you about the 'nationality not ethnicity' thing, but that really may vary, and I don't think it would be possible to debate that, as we'd first have to define the difference between nat. and eth., they seem to be ~the same thing to me.

    I don't know, how would the world be different, but to spark your fantasy, imagine horses being herbivores, but turn carnivorous at every conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn (~ every 20 years).

    Any play by Václav Havel, if you're into absurd drama.

    How I'd like to upgrade the system of Czechlands:
    Bicameral parliament. The lower chamber is currently elected in a country-wide proportional ellections with electoral threshold of 5%, in name of easy established government. Let's get rid of the threshold.
    But how would we get the government (currently must be approved by the lower chamber)? The lower chamber shall elect each member of government separately (and at will they shall elect a new one). This proces would allways result in an existing government. Some fancy condorcet voting method could be used, as I like fancy condorvet voting methods.
    Upper chamber is currently elected in one-mandate districts by a two round system, I'd change it to approval system, as it has quite good qualities and is reasonably understandable (and trust is important in politics).

    As the large-scale ellection campaigns are based on "hollow promises and marketing", so would be your proposal prone to ?psychopats? who are able to act like 'good guy' and then do evil.
    And if I had to accept your system, I would propose to elect more then one representant to the next level, becouse giving my power in hands of one person is really scary.
    And another practical problem: let's say sb. would be member of the Earth council, but also member of country, lander, regional, town and neighborhood councils. How would they be able to be active on all these levels? (Including also traveling problems, becouse I don't really believe in usefullness of on-line meetings.)

    Hi, I'm going to travel through France at the end of July (cca. from Strasbourg to Perpignan) and I wonder if it's possible to get a lower price than what is calculated by sncf-connect.com. Would going by lower-category trains pay of? (In such case, could you recommend me some points-in-middle, as the site wouldn't find a connection from Str. to Per. without TGV.) Is it possible to buy regional tickets? Thank you for any advice. PS: Congratulations to your flourishing community!

    (Another time I would just lurk around, but Lemmy needs content so I participe actively.) Hi, while adhering naturalistic worldview, I've been finding my way to paganism last year. I'm still figuring it out, I only know I have to venerate Earth, Water and the others. I also find attractive to follow some parts of graeco-roman religion, but this is (for me) even more difficult task. I hope this place would become a pleasant living community.
