The bubble effect...

[nadinbrzezinski]

well DU is a bubble, we CARE about what is going on... not everybody does ok.

In a sick way so is the other site that shall nto be named. BOTH are bubbles. I talked to a few neighbors. Egypt? Revolt? What the hell am I taking about? That is the truth folks. They will learn the effects, but never understand why. That is the way it is. We are an insolar nation... and we really do not care.

1. Your wisdom is one blessing that DU has, that that "other site" does not.

Thanx nad. :hug:

NGU.

5. I just wanted to point this reality

life goes on, outside DU... (and Free Republic or Huffington Post...) it just does.

3. people have been dumbed down

if that's what "they" wanted, they've got it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. This insularity has nothing to do with dumbing down

it is part of our national DNA. Why historians will refer to this empire as a reluctant one.

6. Speak for yourself...

Part of "our" DNA?

You weren't born here, remember?

BTW, it's "insular" , not insolar,

and it's "I want to point to this reality",

not "I want point" this reality

8. well, you kinda make my point for me

if the population was better educated about civics, geography, languages, cultures....

along with an understanding of how so much of our own culture rests on the history of the Middle East....

then I think people would care more. But since you can't care what you don't know about....then they don't care.

I think we are both correct. :hi:

7. Is that 'insular nation' rather than 'insolar'?

Spell check can be friendly.
