One of the reasons I feel America doesn't have a culture is because culture depends on a remembrance of the past--that is, history. Americans on the whole consider history an interesting pastime but nothing terribly important. We have a dislocated sense of time.

Yeah it's definitely not as cut and dry as either of our arguments. You could also make a case, for example, that while Europe is steeped in culture, they've had a lot less trouble adhering to destructive traditions.
