I I stand by my statement. Of course I was overstating it a bit, but we don't know or care about the rest of the world, for the most part. Maybe you are too caught up in your national pride to see this. Or maybe it's just that you are on A2K, which is definitely NOT representative of the rest of the country, from what I've seen.
The only time we get interested in a country outside us is when we are about to blow it up.
Okay, I'm overstating things again.
Read this if you doubt my original statement about how uninformed we are.
