There are cultural differences in people... this is not necessarily a bad thing either... the cultures (ancient and modern) of others and my own are incredibly fascinating...
Here in Canada, there is more of a "mosaic" than a "melting pot". People are encouraged to keep their cultural traditions and customs. That is why I love it here, and everyone gets along pretty well (even surprisingly so), too. In my opinion, the Canadian idea is better than the "melting pot", as it allows people to keep their customs and be proud of where they are from (but not arrogant and believing they are better than others). The "melting pot" does makes some people not know who they are and their roots, which could possibly lead to alienation.
Anyways that is just my opinion.

I'm not a guy, I'm female.
Cool, someone loves me...
That is good that the people in the DT forum and here like me; I'm used to getting ignored or being barely tolerated in most other forums.
As for the second:
It is great that we can intelligently share our opinions here and not have a lot of negativity. I just felt like mentioning that out of happiness and relief since I visited the bridge (the DMB place) a while ago. Some of the people there turn
anything that resembles an intelligent discussion, or even just everyday topics, into a 300+ post long(!) flame war that results in lots of personal attacks and ignorant comments being made.
I'm am very happy to have found this place and the DT forum. I love you all...
