This thread is all over the place. Somehow... nationalism, the Cold War, and the French are part of the discussion now.
It's interesting (though not really productive) to see where the conversation leads just so there's something to keep talking about.
Manic_Skafe is exactly right. The way these threads meander out into completely unrelated topics is precisely because these topics get stale quickly. A topic comes up every so often... and when all the same things have been said, it becomes a game of continuing to talk longer than the other people even though no one actually has anything to say.
I'm not saying people posting have nothing to say- I'm saying it seems they have nothing to say on this topic anymore. It's pretty much run its course unless someone comes in and breathes some new life into it.
