I noticed that a great deal of the threads in this forum have to with American issues. Although there are issues that are universal (i.e abortion, stem cell research, homosexuality, etc.) a number of them concern American politics and events.
However what boggles my mind is that a large number of KMC members aren't American. Many are Canadian, Irish, German, etc. Of course this not to demean the few threads that DO deal with non-American issues (i.e. Canadian issues, the British election) however they are far and between.
Anyone else have thoughts?

non-americans just don't make much threads about politics, they have a more: "lets keep it to ourselfs"-attitude
jaden101
ssshhh...dont tell them that...just keep it to ourselves
DeRFmAn
That and to a lot of people aren't fans of the US and people in general like to gossip. We are currently an easy target with the war, Bush, and other sh!t.

Good question... what IS the greatest country in the universe?
Deano
greatest country in the universe? probably on another planet where they live in peace
GCG
peace ? what is that ?
do you get washed in it ?

Mostly because most of the members are americans, and because in every country in the world's news they talk about american issues, and sometimes english issues.... but thats mostly it.
Well that and the fact that since America is the 'greatest' (meaning "bigger" in many senses) country, most of the things that happen there affect other countries aswell

United States of AMERICA.
finti
yeah cause just to call it America would be the same as calling United Kingdom for Kingdom.
But kidrock you who indicates USA is the greatest country to live in, how many other countries have you lived in to make a comparison?
KharmaDog
I would think that because the U.S. has a view policies that are heavily affecting the world and because currently many countries are blitzed with U.S. media, that that would all lend to more discussions about the U.S.
Bardock42
Its germany..........well if the communists stop messing it up.....

Hey, I finally found an international story that doesn't focus on the USA.
Joker1237
I am America, And I think its a great place to lived in,
I was in South Korea for 3 years, and sure I enjoy my time there, But I was relly home sick.
finti
at least you can compare though
Clovie
I would like to mention that the whole America/Americans this and that is boring. And GDF is becoming a lot less interesting place since the number of political (American-politics) threads has risen
I honestly see no point for existence of like 10 (just guessing number) threads about Mr Bush, and his decisions etc.
Also as mentioned already Europeans don't like discussing politics, they (we) prefer to avoid this kind of topics.
erm... btw i've made a thread about EU constitution some time ago, so POST THERE
Clovie
not all countries has strong enough economy to be able to 'not-be' in EU
debbiejo
If you weren't talking/gossipin about The US, then who would you be?

I think america's the greatest place to live too... well for ppl like me though...
and Iva had more than enough chances to compare, more than I wouldve liked actually
debbiejo
Maybe we should pick another country to talk about...Hmmmm how about...France
IceWithin
why france? lets talk about...china!

Nonsens.....the economy of the countries joining for them can never be to weak....for the EU maybe but not for any joining country.

Chinas slow right now...Got any dirt on Germany?
Bardock42
Yes we are ruled by communists....and they suck...so people decide to instead vote for nazis or even more communistic communists....**** germany
lil bitchiness
Because the huge issues that are in America are not huge issues in Europe, such as abortion, death penalty, homosexuality..

Norway is too rich country to bother joining the EU.

That proofs my point
debbiejo
I never liked the EU, but if they can bring world peace, then I might change my mind.

debbiejo
I hate it, but what's your beef?
finti

debbiejo

finti

Yeah, I'm up for worldwide issues, I think it would be good for this forum. Also, it could teach some Americans that theirs isn't the only country in the world

They can't get enough of us. Hate or love US they just can't get enough of us.

WindDancer
And you're posting in this one?
Clovie
it is not about the USA, it's about the domination of American threads in gdf
WindDancer
Well you guys wanted politics in the GDF. No one could predicted that it was going to turn into an all American Politics tidal wave
Clovie
you're right. but i see no point for existance few threads which for me are about the same
on the note i would be VERY surprised if someone started discussing Polish politics here
WindDancer
Well to be fair I hardly post on those thread. I really don't see the point anymore. And is interesting you mention Poland. That is a nation with a lots and lots of political history in it. It would be interesting to hear more about Polish politics.
Clovie
interesting? but it's boring, all those wars and occupations all the time
debbiejo

People like talking about us because of all the stupid talk shows we have..Shows us to be real morons...

The Truth...you can'T handle the Truth....

I don't agree about the half to half part.
it is obvious that they're occupying us for like 200 years..
but this country is EXISTING since 10th century...so just stop it.

but i honeslty don't understand.
ermm..
i'll stsart a thread about poland (
) and no one will post there
eventually they'll come and bash it,
where's the fun about it?
Bardock42
Well but then you have no right to say something aboot people who decide to make threads..you coujld make one aboot poland......I don't know anything aboot your history, but you dopn't want to do that...ok thats fine but leave the people alone who want to talk aboot something, who cares if it is aboot American issues....everyone has the right to open one aboot European or asian issues but no one does...so people should stop complaining and just shut up or meakt threads they would like to talk aboot.
Clovie
but everythread (but one) i made has died..so i see no point in making another one
Bardock42

Good for zou...but stop moaning aboot people that want to start threads.
Clovie
Originally posted by Bardock42

and imo some of them should be merged, that's all
Bardock42
Can you give examples...which ones should get merged....and why?
Clovie
because they're about the same...but i'm not a specialist, so i don't know.
but i don't see the difference between *goes to look for example*
i'm too lazy to find lnks
but there is like threee thread about homosexualism
at least two about feminism
no idea how much about bush/kerry/democrats/republicans (i don't see the difference between them)
and about 2 or 3 about the current state of GDF, monotony of threads and insults
Bardock42
I disagree...most of the threads that are stioll in use are about different topics, I don't know if on the later pages are double threeads...possible...but the threads we talk aboot are not the same...
We have the Homosexuality: Chosen or Genetic and the Christian Camp and the 12 Reasons...the one is news because it just came up the other is a whole different thing where you talk something concerning homosexuality and the 12 Reasons is a satirical thread. (Plus that is not an American Issue, only)
Are you a feminist.....and which other one....Possible that there is oen but who cares what threads are on page 400....(plus it is not an American Issue, only)
Hmm currently we have "Because I am evil I am fair and balanced" (pointless thread not worth talking aboot and not a real American Issue either) then " If two wrong makes a righ..." (another pointless thread) ... "The lynching thing (which is news) and Bill O'Rielly (which is not aboot Republicans or Democrats but an idiot) .... I don't see your problem
Clovie
i didn't say these are american issue
and i have no problem

This implies that you have a problem with the current state of the GDF....especially because of American threads...this is a not existant problem since there aren't that many same threads

they're about something i have totally no idea about, and i'm honestly not interested in those. (yes. i'm ignorant, sue me) so i find them boring.
and just leave me, if you wanna just keep on getting on me... i'm too tired.
Bardock42
Yes you are ignorant...that's no problem...the problem is that you demand from your ignorance that threads get closed or merged...although you have no idea what they are aboot...so just leave them alone because they leave you alone too.
Clovie
i'm not doing anything to them. am i?
Bardock42
Originally posted by Clovie

Yes you ask that they get merged or closed without knowing what they are aboot.
Clovie
coz if they're about the same they should be merged.
and i'm not doing anything, and if someone was about doing, they'll check firstly anyway
Bardock42

But they are not aboot the same...yes still why do you ask that...how do they bother you?
Clovie
honestly? i open gdf, and half of the threads are about some trials and american politics/politicians.
Bardock42
Originally posted by Clovie

Yes...I open the OTF and all of the topics are aboot bullshit...but now honestly how should it be different if no one (you) decides to open threads aboot anything else.
Clovie
i'm hardly posting in OTF too
it's scary, and totally not nice.
and i've opend a thread here some time ago(the EU contstitution one
) and it died. and it happens to every thread i made. so i see no point
but you are free to make some nice new one
Bardock42

Yes the OTF sucks
You opened the constitution thread....of course it won't stay forever but there wentt some talking on...but you see what you are saying is that there should be on e thread for Femminism one for Homosexuality one for American Politics and one for Abortion....that wouldn't be a lot of talking here then would it...its good as it is...if you want to talk aboot something else you are free to say that open a thread if it is interesting people will post.....but the only interesting threads in the GDF so far are the American Politics and the Science and Ethics threads.
Clovie
i like the science threads..but i don't feel like repeating the same for no idea how many times
Bardock42
Originally posted by Clovie

Well did you ever consider not going to the GDF then...like if you don't like it...why do you go here?
Clovie
coz i'm bored and tired of otf, and in other forums i'm usually posting there is no ppl
Bardock42
Originally posted by Clovie

But why not leave the people that like the forum alone...why change it....to the worse if I may add?
Clovie
i'm not changing it
i only said that i'd love if there were more threads about subjects i'm interested in
Bardock42
Well good, .... make them
Clovie
and here goes the problem. i don't like making threads cry
Bardock42
Originally posted by Clovie

Well then...but how would closing or merging other threads help you with that problem?
Clovie
i don't know *shrugs*
Bardock42
Originally posted by Clovie

Ah yes.....
. ...now there is a new not american thread....I think we got one like this though...but well....post in there
