"A study on southerners recently revealed that their obsession with asking 'how are you' comes from their ancestors' inability to look and see, and decide for themselves."

Reading the title I don't think I was expecting this. And then when I read the quote I really wanted to just post my comments about my experiences with people asking how are you... but I was interested in reading the article. So I did..

I'm all for using the movie medium to open people's eyes on their own or other people's cultures. I would need to see the movie though. Humour can be used to cure and to wound. As jim morrison said" words got you the wound and they can get you well".

But I have felt so much akwardness saying how are you and what's up and how are you doing... because the answers don't usually fit the question. I can really relate to the author's POV.

bah ... thank you thank you

in inuktitut we ask qanuippit? (literally - are you how? or how are you?)
and we usually answer
qanuingi (i am not how or - i am not in any way in particular)

interesting.. ! Inuktitut, is that a place and/or a language? And where is it, Is it near nanuvut? Are you from there? I would like to go to nanuvut becuase I hear that they have a "circle" government. MEaning, I heard, that they get the whole village involved in the decision making process and they must reach a consensus--
