109. When Bush was in office, Americans loved it when non-Americans trashed him endlessly

as he should have been. Now, some are burning calories acting as though the thoughts/opinions of non-Americans don't mean anything.

I want to hear from MORE people, not less. Hell, the fact that DU is so insulated is one of the reasons the quality of discourse has become so miserable. Instead of telling non-Americans to shut up, I wish there was MORE diversity here, not less unlike some. This place could benefit tremendously from having less loud shrill fringers and more people from all walks of life in all countries.

I remember we had a couple of posters that said they were from Africa. Haven't seen hide nor hair of them in years, not that I blame them. Many Hispanic, Asian and black AMERICANS no longer post here. And some apparently want the bubble even tighter.
