Default OT Damn the thread about secession is closed

Damn the OT thread about secession is closed.

I was going to comment on the petition to split California into 6 states. Since it concerns my home state, I've been following the petition somewhat closely since it first was announced.

But then again, there's been petitions to split California for almost as long as the state has been in existence. See the state of Jefferson.

further discussion can be sent via inbox. and that's all I will say about that here!

sorry mods, feel free to delete/close, etc

An issue for Alaska is that there actually is a reason for the Russians to lay claim to one part of Alaska. An island named Spruce Island belonged to the Russian Orthodox Church "In perpetuity" meaning the Tsar actually didn't have the right to sell it along with the rest of Alaska during the Alaskan purchase. Its not very big, but it is just south of Alaska proper.

All this talk of succession is worrying, if Wales ever declares independence I'm seeking asylum in England, Wales without the English to temper our passions would be a horrible place.

You could always move to Scotland. Mind you, we might be independent ourselves come September...

It was OT
It was political (the only thing I have asked people to avoid going to deep into)
It was generating ill feelings and anger.
It was disruptive to the site in general.

it was going down a dark path that we've seen before.

three things we shouldn't talk about:

politics
religion
sex

hey Kato, not sure how much more work you'd want to put into this but ever thought about creating an OT section for stuff like this?
