lukeiamyourdad Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Perhaps, but you will not have a good understanding of their culture. It's when they forget that you're different that what they think, how they think can surface freely. But that's just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider AL Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I just think that what you're saying is so extreme as to be tantamount to saying: "If you're not born, raised and schooled in France, and live there for fifty years minimum, you will never understand French culture". Personally I draw the line at having an open mind. You seem to draw it at speaking their language fluently and living there for some years. Hey, each to their own. I might add that perhaps looking IN on a country from an outsider's perspective can give you a truly unbiased view on how they live. It's shocking to me, for instance, how little some people understand their OWN nations. Take America as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
