I would like your thoughts on something like this;

This game is very international. Why not use this for information? I was going to pitch this idea to the News Letter Writing team but upon more thought it wouldn't really fit there. So the idea.

I want to start a program thingy where we get a group of people from a country here on the forums and we can ask them questions about their culture, things going on in their country, what stereotypes are true/false, etc. This can be a bi-weekly or monthly thing. So for example, some protests have been going on in Hungary, Wyand and Submachine are both Hungarian so if we could get them to answer any questions about these protests and see some first hand views on it that our media may not cover. I know the U.S media has done very little coverage on the Hungary protests so I would like to have some things answered. Now these interviews dont have to take place only when there is issues going on, but we can have some fun ones as well. You could ask InsignificantWeeaboo if all Americans really have guns, or you could ask ji412jo what his thoughts are on Canada legalizing marijuana. WDYT?

I cant figure out how to do a poll but when i do, i will do a poll for this!
now with 100% more poll!

Generally I like the idea. I could talk on hours about the political situation here, which isn't really funny.
The worst thing that I probably wouldn't explain my opinion about it on Facebook, because it may have
repercussions since I'm a teacher, and thus a public servant...

(I guess you must look for the poll button right upper corner here, at your comment.)

It will be more of an open discussion than a interview. I wont collect questions and ask you; If people have questions they can ask them themselves. If they would like to remain anonymous they can funnel the question/answer though me who can post on their behalf.
An interview is to get to know someone. This is to get to know whats going on in your country. I dont care what your favorite food is, i do care about Greece's economy we heard so much about last year. Now if you dont wanna participate thats fine and completely understandable. I will be asking people of the country's origin if they are willing to answer questions before i start one.

We have 10 votes in with 9 saying yes. I will start a thread for this but i need to be able to moderate it so it might take me a bit to get it started. I dont want any racial or demeaning things asked.

I would like to start with Hungary as posted in the beginning. Allow me some  :time and i will get it going!
