"more unspoiled communities" - changed to the grammatically simpler 'less spoiled'. --duncan 20:20, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually, "more unspoiled" and "less spoiled" don't necessarily mean the same thing. The former (in context) means "more pristine" or "more corrupted" (i.e. by civilization), whereas the latter means "less pampered". I'm switching it back, because it makes more sense in context.

How do you have more of un-______? ie: "This unspoiled nature is great, but it needs more nature." Doesn't make sense.68.180.38.41 (talk) 10:07, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

How does Cul-de-sac become a "see also" on this article?

I wondered the same thing.68.180.38.41 (talk) 10:07, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


The article doesn't really explain the main metaphorical implication of the term, that they want to pull up the drawbridge behind them as they enter the castle... AnonMoos 00:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
