I totally agree with the idea of AO being a global community. In fact, I had read a post the other day from some member here at AO. What irritated me about the reply was they had inferred that everyone should know what the First Amendment(United States) is. Like it was common knowledge...even some people I know don't know what the hell the first amendment is and they live here. I've come up with a link to show how many different constitutions there are in the world, so maybe the next time, people won't be so quick to assume the entire world knows the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I guess my point is, be considerate of your fellow AO members who aren't familiar with the US's culture, just like how I'd like to be treated if the roles were reversed.
