Also, (on a related tangent) the Florida Keys suceeded briefly in 1982 and called themselves the "Conch Republic".

I guess you didn't realize that was a joke?

I did. Why are you so defensive?

That was defensive? :lol:

It seemed your post asking ABG why he was being defensive was more defensive than the post you accused of being defensive. Maybe the best offense is a good defense, or visa-versa.

Sorry, for taking you down this silly little path, though not really.

I may have taken an indefensible position and unwittingly been perceived as offensive. I apologize to you, the members of this community and to the American people.

38, this is gvok's new tactic. Instead of baiting me, he'll accuse me of being upset, defensive, or even testy. Why, I don't know. Maybe he's bored and thinks it'll get a rise out of me?

Hawaii was annexed in what, 1899? Texas joined the union voluntarily.

You are just upset because I dared to challenge your theory that:

Quote:
 
Texas is the only state that was once its own nation


Actually, I only asked whether California was once an independent country. I then brought up the Conch Republic as a curiosity (which you seemed to take offense to). Now that Hawaii has been brought up you -- a good example of a state in addition to Texas "that was once its own nation" BTW -- you again feel the need to insult me.

I think your posts speak for themselves. But I'm sure you and your posse will feel otherwise.
