No threads about France?
« on: December 08, 2018, 10:53:25 am »

There is a revolution that has been going on for almost a month now and no one wants to talk about it?

There are over 20 different countries in Europe, grouping them all together is erasing years of history.

I'm just saying that there IS a thread. Anyhow, it has been talked about on there, sort of flipping between that and Brexit

How many revolutions has England had compared to France?

I went to that Thread and everyone is talking about Brexit.

Grouping everyone in Europe as European is a disservice to your ancestors who fought very hard for their own identities throughout history.

The French identity isn't in any danger from regional threads on Bay12, and there's not a large enough French userbase here to actually maintain their own thread. Why flag-wave about the structure of threads on an internet forum? It will collapse to what is most convenient in the end. Even full-on regional threads outside of Europe like Asia and Africa are barely extant, especially the latter, because people don't post in them.

It's more a matter of pragmatism. The number of users from any one European nation in the lower boards doesn't sustain convo well. We could probably pull off a Britthread and a Kot appreciation thread, otherwise it's a matter of united shitposting in the one european continent thread

Have you been juicing again? Anabolic steroids are not good for your health, physically or mentally.

I still think the thread should be renamed back to Europe thread as the need for a separate russia-ukraine thread is far since over.

Do we need to live in France to talk about it?

It seems to be a major turning point in History. I think it deserves a thread. Brexit meanwhile, is a massive joke where the population wants one thing and the people in power say no. If the brits had the same balls as the French (or maybe cause the UK drinks fluoridation water while France does not).

Plus France has had the most revolutions out of any country in Europe by far. This is much more interesting and likely to happen than Brexit....

Or for your balls. How are your balls doing, DFNewb?

There's this thing one can do in a such a case called "changing the topic". It's pretty effective at getting people to talk about what you want.

French posters are going to have the most interest and inclination to post about France. A France-centered thread will further draw French posters much more strongly than non-French ones.

A European regional thread draws from Europe as a whole rather than one country primarily and allows for conversation of the topic and learning that goes well beyond a single small posterbase.

Sounds like a great reason to making a Thread just about France. I would like to get input from people living in France and I am sure the Thread title is better attention grabber for them than the EU thread title.
