  • @ktintin2010

    yup that must be it.

  • @modshroom because you are not culturally aware of your own culture

  • the foot thing is wrong.

    i'm arabic and the boot thing is just completely bullshit.

  • i use 2 wipe my ass with my left hand but then when i was about 15 i sliced thru an artery on my left hand and needed microsurgery thus rendering my left hand/arm useless for a week or 2 so and started wipeing with my right, at first it felt alien 2 me and very awkard but i got use to it and 9 years later and im still wiping with my right, and now the idea of wiping with my left seems alien.. true story, so the arabs wouldnt kno but they are shaking my "toilet hand" haha!!

  • @DeoMachina They are on television...They're not talking for the sake of talking, but to present you with information. Plus, looking at each other, they wouldn't be looking at you, disrespecting you as a viewer.

  • i love how it doesnt matter if we are over in their country or if they are in ours...its always up to the american to respect the other cultures..lol

  • Oh hey! Have you thought about intellectus list building (search on google)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin got a ton of cash pumping leads added to their list.

  • I think in ALL cultures, looking 30 degrees to the side of the person you're talking to is pretty rude. These guys need to make some eye contact.

  • Good cultural sensitivity advice in the business context.
