Reply #308: Wow, how parochial

Sorry you've never have the opportunity to live in The Real World, where your neighbors might be Christians (not just your brand), Jews, Buddhists, and/or Muslims.

It teaches you that not everyone thinks exactly like you - that people going home for vacation might be going home for Ramadan, not Christmas. The people might not be celebrating Christmas (!!!!). That when you have a big meeting with fellow Democrats, you need to check the calendar to be sure it's not a High Holy Day.

It's good to broaden your horizons.

Glad there are fewer of your sort every day. I'm relieved to see that all my friends' kids are studying abroad, were they actually meet people who aren't American.
