I am thinking of declaring August "Other Than U.S.A. Month".
It would be perfectly voluntary of course. The proposal is for all Debate Forum OPs to be about topics and regions other than the U.S.A.
For one month only. Back to 'normal' in September.
It could help our much admired American contingent to...
open their minds
broaden their horizons
restore their humility
put their own nation and its deeds in a more vivid context
It could help our Non-American contingent to...
boost their confidence
generate a feeling of level footing elusive in 'the wild'
enhance Forum diversity and inclusiveness
put their own nations and their deeds in a more vivid context
Implied stigma and unspoken dirision could be the price that posters pay for non-cooperation.
That's just for starters.
Let's debate the possible advantages and disadvantages of an "Other Than U.S.A. Month".
