I could be wrong, and would like to be, but I don't see much of China, Japan, France, Israel, Italy, for example.

Originally posted by sonhouseLOL. Not what I meant at all. I used the word "cause" not "fault". But, ironically, yours is the sort of parochial retort that kind of summed up much of the standard fare at Debates as its international character faded and faded, as it has over recent years. The forum 'belongs' to the people who are active. It is in the nature of the internet and one can hardly object to that. You should go there and offer a bit of your very, very interesting U.S-centric pouting and see if it inspires discourse between people from all over the world. 😉
Ah, now that too is America's fault.....
