I don't see the world through political eyes. I see it through filters of fascinating cultures and people. Places I want to explore and people I want to meet and learn about. The political stuff, just obstacles.

That and my travel expense acct.....

I dont think we all will be dead. The ones remaining will be worth knowing.

You need a new pair of glasses pop, perhaps LaT could tell you where she got hers. It certainly explains why I like her posts so much.

I find the isolationist mind-set very common. Whether it is a majority opinion or not I am not sure.

Aneirin, one of the reasons that I don't come to this part of the site is because it is way too US-centric. The other is that many are here to soapbox rather than discuss.

But in all sincerity, the Americans that I've gotten to know have a much broader perspective of the world. Unfortunately, they are becoming the minority.

I however always like to remind people that every country has their version of the rednecks with blinders on.

LadyA,

Thank you for that comment. As an American that was married for 17 years to a native born Korean (and still great friends with him) as well as being a liberal and hippie dippy as it sounds, I view the rest of the world as individually as it is. I am always embarrassed by the jingoistic xenophobic attitude of a lot of my brethren, and especially the right wingers. However....this may be where we part ways. I do think that still, even with all of our faults, most people have this wierd jealously or longing to be us. I don't really get all of it, but I do understand some of it. For example, the whole Asian obsession with all things American. It's like so many people hate us, but want to be us. It's kind of paramount to the Americans that tattoo themselves silly with Asian symbols, it's weird. We are beyond arrogant, I have so many friends from other countries that are bi-lingual, and generally that is their native language and English. Americans think they only think they need to speak english, and that is why we are rapidly losing globally in commerce and education. If I were young again * I wish ;)* I would learn Mandarin and probably at least one other language. Besides French, which is usually the only other language that most bi-lingual Americans speak, at least in Maine, because of our close proximity to your country and the large amounts of Franco-Americans that live here.

Malheureusement l'habitude la plupart des Américains de prendre le temps de le faire, n'est-ce pas triste?

C'est très dommage, oui!

Actually Aynne88, you have Hollywood to thank for the rest of the world wanting to be American, but how accurate is Hollywood's representation of America? ;-)

I am pretty darn sure the world will not end at all but in many ways just begin. Then again your credit card might be worth shit but I dont know about that.
