, 02:54, January 25, 2008→#46 ("Worldwide view" is fictional terminology) Is based on a seriously flawed premise
I am only new to CP and I have jumped in and commented much earlier than I intended to, but my chief frustration with WP has been militant editors with an axiomatic materialism so basic that they cannot even acknowledge it. The value that I saw in CP is that the axioms are expressed and acknowledged. It unsettled me a little to see a suggestion that a US-centric POV is in place but not acknowledged. Now if it is in place AND acknowledged then I wouldn't necessarily have a problem. (I'm from Oz, BTW).[[User:LowKey|LowKey]] 21:41, 24 January 2008 (EST)

:I know what you mean. I've had to add things like "in America" to a lot of the legal pages... and an "in English" to the [[vowels]] page. Ethnocentricity? Nahhh. [[User:Barikada|Barikada]] 21:54, 24 January 2008 (EST)
