CerinoDevoti:Opinions on general US ignorance is something I've gotten used to reading on International website member forums. One thing you might consider, and perhaps you've never considered, is general US indifference to your opinion of US ignorance.
Thanks CeroniDevoti, actually it's the opposite. I would be surprised if an ignorant person did care because most people that are ignorant are exactly that....ignorant. They would rather stick their fingers in their ears and tell the world they don't care rather than actually learn anything.
Of course there are plenty of Americans who are aware. My point was not aimed at American players but to point out that WGT is not really helping change opinion of the negative stereotype all ready out there.
I'm living in China where most people are incapable of thinking for themselves. It's astounding how incredibly ignorant and self-absorbed they are. They couldn't care less about what the world or anyone else thinks. It's very sad.
So by the Chinese standard America doesn't look quite so ethnocentric or ignorant when it comes to learning about other places and cultures.
CerinoDevoti: If I had a say in the matter, there'd be no flags at all to be an issue. I don't so I default to indifference.
No flags at all would certainly take away the problem... but if WGT likes flags why get rid of something when you can just make a minor adjustment and get it right?
Problem solved. It's called 'forward thinking'.
I'm not surprised you are indifferent, why would you be? Why would you comment on this thread about personally being indifferent?...With all due respect, it seems rather pointless or am I missing the bigger picture here?
