Living in a world dominated by American culture is an exercise in building a progressively thicker callus to everything you like, everything you think is deep and important and nuanced, being raped and flayed into submission and consumed by plebs.

what

so am i, but i didn't say anything that goes against your statement

i was just saying that "all of america" doesn't share a given opinion about the catcher in the rye movie, because significant portions of america don't care at all in any direction. the opinion probably is pretty universal amongst the clade that does care. and its not really indicative of quality either way.
