Thoughts on ************?

I don't think the Mediterranean is a cultural continuum, like Europe is. I think even Sicilians have more in common with Germans, than with Egyptians or Syrians.

Hahahahaha

Europe is a cultural continuum. Yeah, Icelandics and Cypriots have tons in common. They use the same alphabet, they like the same music, eat the same food, belong to the same churches, not to mention all of the historical ties between them...

I like German music and food, but anything beyond Germany is completely and totally alien to me, whether you're talking North of Germany or East of Germany. There be Barbarians who had no contact with Rome.

It would have been better if there weren't so many apricity members there.

Well, you're an Apricity member so doesn't that make you part of the problem?

I believe in protecting the privacy of members first and foremost, so you won't find threads or posts from FN on google.

Which eliminates the main source of getting new members, and means we get our members primarily via word of mouth, and since our members come from TA and ABF, well, that's where they're going to come from. That or friends of people from TA or ABF.

I made an account to get away from the low level IQ-destroying content of apricity and discuss with new and mentally fresh people but it turned out to bite me in the ass.

That was so funny when you were like "hold up" haha best reaction to a welcome thread.

Now I have no wish of joining the forum, but what about Germanic parts that have had contact with Roma. The Roman Empire at its peak also controlled of what is now all of Belgium and the Southern Netherlands. Of course, we were at the fringe of the Roman Empire, but they still left their tracks to this day (like Roman roads and Roman coins).

The local population also mixed with the Roman soldiers from 100 AD and on and the local aristocracy gained citizen rights around that time. From 260 AD the Salian Franks started invading, though.

By the way, as of today, the largest immigrant group in Belgian are the Italians. Most live throughout Wallonia and Limburg.

Honestly, what the OP says makes sense

That was pretty damn funny.

You could see it oozing from him. Oh, fuck. I regret joining here already. All of you bastards are from that other forum I joined here to get away from.

So don't post there. Oh wait, you don't. You're a lurker with 0 posts.

Then by all means continue doing whatever it is that you do.

I found all attempt from Southern Europeans to create false pride in themselves and fight Nordicism laughable. That forum is one of things i am talking about.

Pan-med forum? Probably Americanized with Balkaners and MENA wanabees.

Modern-day Germany, Roman buildings

FN has nothing whatsoever to do with Nordicism or anti-Nordicism. Half the people who founded the forum were Scandinavians. PowerPaw, Dombra, Mazik, etc.

Yup. It's definitely Medocentric, but not Med-supremacist.

But thanks for playing. Nice try.
