The Outspoken Westerners in Forumosa.com

[technobabel]

If you really want to see how public discourses in English are being carried out, you may want to take another good hard look at this forumosa.

There are many reasons why members of forumosa are so prolific in their posts. Fundamentally, we can trace back to their cultural backgrounds, educational system, freedom of speech, level of passion towards the truth or which ever it may be. It is impossible to point to any particular cause.
Westerners in the region of greater Far East Asia may share some common traits. For one thing they are far more internationalized and open minded.
Judging from the quality and quantity of contents in Forumosa alone, and may I say that most of the posts are rational, logical and well thought out.
Unless you can find me a forum in Chinese that match the depthness and sophistication of Forumosa. I am afraid that Forumosa.com may be the wake-up call that all Taiwanese can't afford to ignore.
