....It's quite strange making an effort to talk to people on the continent and hearing the same questions asked of me over and over. They clearly see the US as afar more dangerous, far more violent, place, than their own communities.
I suppose many there are as work hardened regarding terrorist attacks, as we have become to our own urban murder rates.
I'd think it would be possible to point out how our cultures aren't so different after all. Maybe, they could understand that the same agendas that created urban toilets, created their slam-n-slash? They are fortunate in that they are free of urban ghettos to steer clear of.
I don't think it's unreasonable to note that cultures are different. It seems to me to be a 'discussion' about tolerance. My hope would have been that you said joe continental average is getting fed up, but apparently not.
