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

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.

Afrocentrism for brown people? Well, about Forum ******* being 'saner' than Skadi. It doesn't have the racism going about it.

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

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

Modern-day Germany, Roman buildings

Trier is nice indeed. Visited it with school.

So bring your Bulgarian friends. We have a lot in common. I mean, I'm pretty sure we all agree that Fyrom would look better split between Bulgaria and Albania.

And we're all part of the great European cultural continuum that's existed for the last 10 minutes (but not for the last 20,000 years before that).

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...

Nearly all Europeans have a common Christian heritage and the basic foundations of European and New World civilizations are Christianity and classical Greco-Roman culture and civilization. They don't even use the Latin alphabet in Muslim countries, are mostly Muslim of course, many hate all non-Muslims and their history with Europeans has been mostly one of conflict in the last 1500 years or so. But even pre-Islamic Orientals fought Europeans. Remember the Greco-Persian wars? What about the Punic ones or how about how Greco-Roman heritage largely vanished entirely from all Near East, but still has relevance even in Iceland. Latin was not even spoken as a foreign language by Levantines. Greek was a lingua franca, but did not displace any language there like both Latin and Greek did in many European areas and indeed Asia Minor. There was even a British Romance language in Roman and early post-Roman times. Only a small population along the coast of North Africa, in some towns spoke Latin.

I wonder what they discuss in this forum? About tanning sprays and how cool is to look guido?

Or its about bashing Finns all together.

The Mediterranean countries have common historical heritage, common blood, common food, common musical instruments, common flora/fauna. The Mediterranean is where you wind up with countries like Cyprus which are geographically part of Asia but culturally part of Europe, and countries like Malta where they speak an Arabic-derived language with a Roman-derived alphabet and worship the Catholic God but call him Alla.

In essence, you've completely missed the bus. I love Southern Europe, but if I had to choose between living in Turku, Finland or Turkey for the rest of my life, I'd be on an airplane heading to Kebabistan tomorrow.

I've noticed there is little activity there... One Mexican member kept making threads about how good looking and superior Germanics are and was banned.

[Dandelion]

One question: have Finnish members registered there?
