Great comment, not sure why it was down voted. Cultures outside the US are often surprising.

- 6stringmerc 11y agoThanks, I think the biggest surprise is, well, people in the US assuming other cultures are willing to change (or mentally prepared to change) upon arriving in the US. It's not that simple. Out of sight, out of mind is one thing, but when one-on-one, it's something that takes strength and confidence to address. Not all people are comfortable in the face of intimidation or just flat-out disrespect.
- msie 11y agoBecause it comes off as being slightly smug?
- unprepare 11y agoPersonally, I feel that downvotes should only be used for comments that do not add anything constructive to a conversation. I don't see how a downvote contributes constructively to the thread in this situation.
