The problem with that is that you are bending the word culture to suit your purposes. That is a sub-culture at best (probably not even that).

Well, I disagree with this point of yours, Imperator, even more strongly than I disaggree with the originial point of this discussion.

I don't know what the most rigid definition of a culture is, but an ideology that's held by even a few can spread, like a cultural virus. Linkont cross the memes.

I'm oh so tempted to list a specific case ... but I want to keep this thread civil.

OK I took the test, and they really need to work on it a lot.

Viruses I do suffer from:
1) Junk food---NOT (Unless beer is junk food)
2) Sci fi---Oh ya, they got that one.
3) Politics---yep I guilty there
4) Environmentalism---Perhaps, but then we get fined if we put the wrong kind of trash in the wrong color bin

I (might) suffer from:
1) Linux 80%---NOT EVEN close
2) Religion 60%---NOT
3) British 85%---NOT
4) Windows 75%---True but a low number
5) freeBSD 90%---True but way high. I guess it was because I kenw it at all.
6) Brand Names 65%---True
7) Hippyism 65%---NOT EVEN Close

I would say it was a test of how much media you have been exposed to.

All in all, it needs work. And perhaps their parents should seek a refund from the uni
