It's hard to answer questions when people don't explain which country they mean.

And why are some Americans giving themselves a bad name by insulting other cultures so much? Aren't they happy that the world is so diverse and interesting?

I'd like to answer some questions, but I can't give a good answer because sometimes they are culture or place sensitive. I'd love for people on here to be more aware of their place in the world.

I agree, some cultures are different and the answers that are given , mostly come from the U.S. I asked a question a few weeks back and I asked about the weather and I got 15 different areas all over the world. It was great!! I them realized that I was talking with the World, not just the US. Yes I did assume at first that is was the US now I know better.(Plus at the bottom of the answer page it has all the flags of the different nations that are on this web site----hint hint) :)

I suppose most of the questions and answers are from Americans. Answers can be more specific for certain questions if the questioner relates what he or she wants and the place they are from. For instance, I have a Christian name but I am a South East Asian but I may sound like I am a westerner certain times when I answer questions. The world is very wide and we are all somehow getting acquainted without knowing each other sometimes by asking questions and sometimes by answering them.

That's an interesting point. You seem to be in a English speaking country. Correct??? Do you have a country specific question that you would like to ask?
