    because it's an international forum, with members from all over the world, and there are interesting things going on outside the US?

    Your posts doesn't make sense. Do you mean there are no non-American threads or the opposite?
    Someone been drinking? :smile:

    No threads about race relations in any other country. No threads about the job market in other countries. No threads about the upcoming election in other countries.
    If you were drinking, what would you be consuming?
    What determines drunk to you?

    Except for the usual anti-Muslim and refugee scaremongering threads there isn't much going on. Most countries are in high vacation season. Did you try the Politics by Region section?
    Wine or Whiskey.
    Hard to say... Scandinavians drink a lot. We drink more than Americans in general in Europe.

    Is it scare mongering Muslims are disproportionately represented in European prisons?

    Haven't compared drinking stats. Are wine and whiskey your only options? What wine and whiskey do Scandinavians drink?

    I drink that not Scandinavians in general. Scandinavians drink beer a lot. You probably know Carlsberg which is Danish.
    I don't speak for Scandinavians at all... I am sure you can find that information yourself if you are interested.

    Read my post again and see if you can find such a statement in it.

    It's not vacation season in Australia. But not much is going on at the moment. I mean apart from the train wreck of our federal government but that's only of interest to us locals.

    You claimed a truthful statement is scaremongering.

    It's up to you to explain what you mean.

    Still didn't do that. You should really try to read my post. It is quite simple.
    Why? You replied to me with your opinion on something completely irrelevant to the thread.

    Contrary to your apparent beliefs, the US is not the only country with internet access.

    It appears the mixing of races and religions in Europe isn't going so well, unlike in the U.S. where 99.99% of all interactions involving different races and religions are civil.

    But it's more fun to point out American inadequacies.

    But do they have television?

    I asked why there are no threads about the domestic affairs in other countries.
    This forum is, primarily comprised, of non-American posters. Where is the interest in the Canadian economy? Women's rights in China? Race relations in Italy? The housing market in Finland? The political campaign in X? The gun ownership in Y? The tax structure in Z? The uneven wealth among citizens in name a place?
    It's just interesting to me. Very foreign, pun intended.

    Well there are a lot of other forums specific to individual nations.

    This forum is based here in the U.S. but I am sure there are say...a U.K. Political Forum....a German Political Forum...etc.

    And I think there are more of us American's on this forum that foreigners.....correct me if I am wrong.

    Well, this is what you posted:

    """""Why are the threads here on countries that aren't the US? """


    How do you know that this forum is comprised of non-American posters?

    What difference does it make?

    Why don't you start a thread on what Scandinavians drink (fascinating!:roll:), the tax structure in New Zealand (super fascinating :roll:?


    Why don't you just google the information you're looking for?

    We drink Budweiser or Jack Daniels. But lawd we have much more than beer and whiskey.
    Never heard of Carlsberg.
    What does a six pack of decent beer run you?
    The price variance here between good beer and crap beer is not nearly as significant as the price variation between good/crap liquor.
    Wonder what days/hours other countries permit alcohol sales...
