Citizen #22:
Miestrâ Schivâ | > The Talossa is Talossa or Talossa is in the US arguments is used when convenient for the argument and lacks a consistency. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone in specific, but this is something that I have noticed.
Who's arguing that Talossa is "in the US"? Talossa seceded from the US in 1979. Talossa is Talossa, and is surrounded by the US. Simple, surely.
> The way I am phrasing this is a long stretch, but I think you will see where I am coming from. The only real way to definitively justify dropping the Imperial System as well as other trappings of our American roots is to drop the land claims.
And thus drop the whole idea of Talossa as an independent, sovereign state and become some kind of internet entity. Look, guy, Mexico's in North America. Are you going to drive south of the border and demand that they adopt Imperial measurements just because they're close to the US? You are using this debate as a red herring to push an idea that would mean Talossa cutting ties with 27 years of continuous cultural history, and becoming like every other third-rate internet discussion group populated by geeks.
