I'd blame it on the fact that american users outnumber everyone else. This is sorta inevitable, as the USA is the largest nation to have English as a first language.
Still, UK politics is dull as fuck anyway. Apart from John "Two Jabs" prescott. I cannot speak for the state of politics in other nations though.

I'd blame it on that as well. And the fact that I know not a lot about the politics of other nations. Maybe we should start using more internation topics?

Do you think my News Stories of the Day should be more universal?

[Timisoara]

The American Congress is tame compared to the procedures in G.B parliment, less ass kissing more actually debate. American politics is more important simply because of the fact that the U.S has much more impact on the politics of other contries, plus we americans are an ignorant nationalist lot.

I don't think that is fair at all. Essential All A Forum is, Is a place where people express their opinions. To say that People who express their opinons about a subject that is not intresting to you, or relevant to you opinons, are newbies for no other reason then becuase your not intrested in what they say or that they talk about american subjects too much, is definatly not fair.

If you want it from being too american, post topics about other countries. Nobody is stopping you.

good point

[shorbe]

Tyrant: I agree with you. People should post about other nations. Pantomime Horse tried that with a few Australian topics, but there being only three Australians at NG (of whom I know), they didn't get many responses.

I don't mind either way. I'm happy as things are.

Oh, I thought this was serious, I hate the Americanisation of language & culture in countries that aren't America.

Americans don't speak English, They call it English but it's not English.

But American English is not "English", Diaper=nappy, color=colour, cooky=Biscuit, favor=favour, Aluminum=Aluminium, Gasolene=Petrol & So on & So on.

Obviously theres is a distinct diffrence in langauge. Honsetly the diffrence bewteen American english and proper english is incrdibly minute. A spaniard, a Haitian and a guatamaltaican, all together, even though they all speak spanish, probally could not understand each other.

Yo sleezebag...pardon my french...FUCK OFF! You always have to something to blame. How would you like it if we kept everything American to ourselves. That way you would have no favorite movies or bands on your profile. Let me say it again...you are a hypocrite!I'll bet deep down you wish you were American. Politics is politics whether it be about capitalism or communism. Is that not the name of the forum?

Fair enough for me... keep in mind this website is based out of one of the 13 original colonies.

Erm...well UK politics remains as dull as ever, so if you do diversify, skip the UK altogether, for the sake of humanity.

[Slizor]

Everyone: As newbie I am not refering to them in a bad way, its more anyone who is new here and since most of them are american, it is producing more of a American bias to this forum. I'm not saying I want to talk about other countries politics either, it's just becoming way too american specfic.

StupidFacistfuck: Actually the bands I would like would remain pretty much the same if there was no america, sure they wouldn't be the ones now, but if you know your music you would know the English invented punk. How am I a hypocrite? You lost the bet by the way.

ps You basterds made me get rid of 666 posts!

It could even be credited to Australia, Infact Trent Reznor does credit it to Australia, The Saints Were pretty punk, they became known in 1973, Sex Pistols weren't around till 1975, I hate how old school punk is refered to as "77 Style punk" just because that's when America found out about it, There are a surprising amount of people who wrongfully think punk started in New York, but then I've notice that Americans tend to start thinking they invented everything.

If you don't want to talk about other countries, and you don't want people to talk about america all the time, what DO you want?

Shall we discuss flowers and hot summer breezes, although not specify any particular location for them?
