yes, I agree, souggy, deafskeptic and jillio....
and I too am sorry that happened to you, RR
when I was in college I was in international dorm and had roommates from various countries - Indonesia, Japan, Singapore - and generally met students from countries in Africa, and from Pakistan...I really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and learning about various cultures. If I had not been open to this I would not have learned what I did and been able to share in any exchange, my world would be less rich. My open and unconditional interest helped to facilitate acquaintances and friendships and really made my time in college extremely enjoyable. I enjoyed benefit of learning beyond the classroom.
