Expats and Locals - Moderators, please open a new thread

I already filed the report, but I honestly don't have the patience to sit around for 24 hours waiting for a moderator to actually do something.

There’s this thread over in Women's Corner about Danes and expats... and it’s just turned into this massive, rambling debate about jobs, the economic crisis, and the general state of things here in America. Personally, I think it would be a lot easier on everyone if we just had a dedicated thread for that stuff. It would make it way simpler to track how many foreigners are actually weighing in, and more importantly, it would save me from having to wade through these endless, bloated essays about Danes when, let's be honest, nobody really cares about them anymore.

Can someone please just start a new thread? Please.

Is there actually a reason we should be allowing this much off-topic chatter over in the Women's Corner? I really don't see why these posts aren't just being moved to their own dedicated thread, because they definitely don't belong in the discussion about expats.

I mean, my posts include comparisons involving people from Denmark and other foreign nationals. 😳

From what I can see, people are still drawing those annoying comparisons to foreigners—it’s just moved from cultural stuff to economic arguments now. 🤷

Why is it such a massive deal to wait 24 hours?

PMS?

It’s not really a "problem," I guess I’m just impatient. I know that isn't exactly my finest quality, but my patience is pretty thin and honestly, sitting around waiting just kills me.

Even if you try to draw those comparisons with people from overseas, we aren't talking about cultural differences anymore—it's purely an economic issue.

I really want to dive into what everyone is saying regarding the economy, but it's hard to focus when the thread keeps getting hijacked by posts about local customs.

Look, you might actually have a point there. 😁

But I honestly still think those posts need to be moved.

Renaming the thread isn't actually going to solve anything! Maybe the next move should be a dedicated "Baby Names Part 2" section and one specifically for cats.

We really need to migrate these posts. We can't have two different threads covering the exact same topic.

Chloe Roberts2, let's just let the moderators do their jobs and wait for them to finish cleaning everything up. There’s really no need to jump in and critique every single move they make...

I’ve got this nagging feeling that they’re just planning to leave all those posts sitting right where they are in that thread. Honestly, I don't see a single thing suggesting they actually intend to move them to the proper home in the new thread.

Is there actually any sign that anyone wants to keep talking about cultural differences?

Since the American economy is such a massive, throbbing headache right now, I have a feeling we're going to spend the entire time obsessing over it. Forget talking about the Danes or India...

Boom. 👍

Sarah Doyle54 said:Exactly. 👍Exactly what I mean.

Come on, guys. We're already talking about cultural differences—specifically in the business world. Why should we limit the conversation to just food, drinks, or how people raise their kids? 😕

It’d be much cleaner to just move this over. 🤷

The thread has veered completely off-track. Honestly, we wouldn't even be dealing with this mess on Zionist Kitchen if Nadan's safari hadn't popped up and pulled two separate arguments into one single topic. Sure, there's some overlap, but talking about whether bartenders should get free drinks or discussing a trip to Africa is a world away from debating American employers, professional training for $533, and the lost index.

Those cultural differences in business you mentioned are part of that overlap, so I don't see why they can't fit into both discussions, right?

So, economy is another topic on the table, but honestly, all these debates about the military and taxes always seem to boil down to Americans comparing themselves to everyone else. 😳

Are you actually kidding me? 🙂
