It is exactly inherent cultural behaviour. It is cultural behaviour that is this desire to eat every wild creature and allows the guy chopping up meat in the supermarket to pick his nose and spit on the floor. It is culture and it is disgusting and it has destroyed your life Goji.
And the behaviour described above is Chinese cultural behaviour lite. Not even in first gear.
