3. Posting in individual state forums?

Or posting in GD? In the former i wouldn't be super in favor of it; but I don't participate in the Oklahoma state forum. I don't live there; I've never lived there so I can't really contribute much besides my preconceived biases (I assume that everybody in Oklahoma sings all the time, for example, about what a beautiful day it is).

On the other hand in GD or even Politics 2015, I don't have as big a problem with it. This forum is open to members of other nations, and we have seen participants from all over the place (although mostly Europe and Canada I believe). And I find that people of other nations are often far more informed about our politics than we are about them. If they have something sensible to say than I want to hear it, and if not, well I don't agree with many United States citizens either.
