Off-topic too Amerocentric? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

People, I am worried.

Is it me or is the number of non-American posters on OT is steadily decreasing

What is going on?

Where are all the crazy Greeks? (yes, I know about MarkG)
Now Spiffor went AWOL also, so we don't have the only permanent Frenchman here anymore.

And really, is it normal that there are still no Slovenians, Ukrainians, Albanians, Bulgarians ... etc etc here?

After all this time? While there are exportable quantities of I won't mention who

We should start thinking about affirmative action

Whenever you spot a poster from an underrepresented country, be kind to him/her Support him in debates, tap him on the back, tell him he/she is the greatest etc

Really, the place is becoming a bit uniform. Or is it just me?

We are just shifting the power dynamics of the forum to include more from countries that actually matter. The US, being most important, naturally has gained posters .

And folks, am I right or what? Are there more or less non-Americans here now than there were 6 months or a year ago?

I think it is all the topics that scare people away.

You Americans are acting like you own the place. 'Should we send troops to Liberia?'. Who's we? Well, guess three times

The number of Americans keeps increasing as does the non-American posters. The American posters are just increasing at a faster rate.

You mean it as a joke, but think.. all the OT mods are American. There are no French people here anymore

Add two and two. I sense a massive conspiracy here.

My gf just got back from hanging out with some Americans who are overseas. They are terrified to interact with locals or try any non-American foods. And they use McDonalds. "He" is on assignment from the Army to become a Euro liason.

One by one they were driven into the ghettos ... The Championship league predictions, the suomithreadi.. till there were none left in the threads... and threads turned to American issues, and they were examined with great scrutiny, and debated. And great uniformity of thought came upon posters...

Future history of Apolyton OT?

Affirmitive action now
