wow, missed that bit about culture... had one big freakin' list...
as far as culture goes... I'm not really sure I would want to teach my kid about much past the year 2000... lol
classic greek, roman, indian, middle eastern, and asian literature, mostly philosophical, social and religious texts
classic western lit like shakespeare, poe, carroll, etc...
classic movies from people like hitch:censored: and kubrick. classic movies with actors like marilyn, sinatra, hepburn, etc. and of course modern classics like star wars, the godfather, etc...
classical music, bach, beethoven, handel, etc. and classic music by people like the rat pack and of course all the music that I grew up listening to, from classic rock to punk...
Old school video games like Atari, NES, original arcade machines...
my favorite toy, Legos...
way too much to name it all... I figure I'll have 10 years or so where they actually understand me and actually listen to me so it'll be a lot to cram in, after all in the US I know I'll have to be the one to educate my kids since the US school system sucks so bad and this country has no culture other than materialism...
