What do you think? Also, do you think changing schools several times without moving has the same affect?[/quote]

I think Danish poverty isn’t American poverty (all Danes get health care!), so this doesn’t translate here. [/quote]

Danish cuture is also insular and outside of Copenhagen families are generations deep in their towns.  I don't think this translates well into US culture.[/quote]

Have you spent time in anyplace rural in America? Maine, Wyoming, Michigan, Maine. How do you know so much about Denmark, but nothing about America? [/quote]

I’ve spend time in both, and the cultures are just different. Even Americans in rural areas are not as insular and reserved as Danes generally, even though you could find exceptions here and there. Why is it so hard to believe that people in different countries have different cultures? Does America really need to be “the most” of everything for you? Even the most clannish and insular? [/quote]
