[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether one has a passport.  [/quote]

We don't have passports, and we have a 7 figure HHI. [b] Zero interest in leaving the continental US[/b].[/quote]

People like you scare me.[/quote]

I could say the same.   People that put a global viewpoint above a national viewpoint are scary to me.

But, you're not putting a global perspective *above* a national one. You only have a national one, and no global one at all. Frankly, if you want to understand the United States better, you need to see how people outside the US see it.[/quote]

You are responding to a lot of people. You think it's one, it's not.

I feel the same sentiment and have traveled plenty outside of the US, mostly to Africa as I've been in love with every wild and beautiful place I've had the honor to visit. You are shamefully close minded. [/quote]

NP. How is that "close minded"?[/quote]

This poster claims that the ONLY way to have a global perspective is to travel ( for pleasure )  globally. I've traveled for pleasure and for work globally and this is simply not true. Books, good books, written by international authors are the key to knowledge, not a trip to see Big Ben and the lovely gardens of Tokyo.

I suggest going through the Pulitzer prize winners at the inception of Pulitzer and crack open a few. This is for a basic 101 understanding.  Our very own Anne Applebaum is a start.[/quote]

So true.

I'm the poster who travels domestic by choice and was "accused" of being middle class (oh the horrors!) And I LOVE Applebaum. Gulag was one of the best books I've ever read on the topic of Russian concentration camps. So much focus is on Hitler and the Holocaust, while Stalin was just about doing thr same thing.

So on a side note,  for my fellow proletariats who prefer the Grande Canyon over a 24hr flight to Angor Wat, you should pick up Gulag, it's a great read and maybe you can come a hair closer to the sophistication of Angry Tokyo.[/quote]
