Time for a merge?

Rockstar · 03-06-17, 09:02 AM

Political threads, shouldn't they be merged into a all purpose thread? I really dont see any difference in the content, fanboy rants, finger pointing, gotcha links, crying, see I told you so's or nay say. Odd thing about the behavior on these threads too is its just like the public figures everyone is complaining about.

Nah, UK politics isn't US politics, and German politics isn't UK politics. Don't take Steeds soap-box thread away from him.

Keep them separate. Easier to evade at least some of Skybird's ramblings.

I take your point but a decision was made many moons ago that they should be kept separate not just for geographic reasons but if I'm to be totally honest, because of the differing levels of civility in the posting content.

A quick comparison between the UK and US threads should make everything quite apparent.

UK - we are a bit more light hearted and have a good laugh at times without getting to deep.

US - serious bland and very very deep and very little laughs.

it all looks the same to me.

Also too I see more euros involved in the US politics thread than I do US people so I guess they're the ones who make it what it is. another reason to merge them.

If they are merged then we'll have people cross-talking about different countries all in the same place. It's already confusing enough trying to keep them straight.

I dont really find it all that confusing, on the contrary i find most if not all the problems, thoughts, posts and replies on matters quite similar.

Err, what!?
The UK and ger politics threads are rather peaceful and nearly exclusively run by Europeans, yet somehow it is the europoors fault that the us thread is heated?

Maybe, just maybe, the us politics thread is what it is because of... us politics?

Hey... just remember, it's Europe's fault that there is even a United States of America.
