MTS
I can't believe it took me this long but I finally left mock_the_stupid. Years ago I used to love reading it, well before discovering stuff like stupid_free. Out of boredom I tried to actually read a few recent posts in MTS, and the place has definitely become "let's mock other cultures for not having the same education and knowledge we do, HURR!!". Among other things. I was so damn tempted to post that one entry from an English teacher in Japan to stupid_free> or <lj comm=. It just fucking boggles me sometimes how much North Americans take for granted their education. Geographical ignorance/lack of understanding is common all over the place, especially among certain pre-internet age groups and different regions. It doesn't make someone unworthy of respect, especially if they were brave enough to ASK your spoiled American ass some polite questions.
Sigh. Besides the fail posts, I can't believe opalcat still has a vice grip on moderation over there. I wonder if she'll ever give it up.
