    Whether you call it the Gulf of Mexico or America seems uncontroversial. I find removing the original name of Denali and returning to the imperial name of McKinley to be far more offensive.

    As for this post, I guess removing the name Denali is akin to small penis energy. So your version of the gulf is fitting.

        I can’t see how a name change would legally affect documents in that way. It’s not like other countries are calling it the new name. And if we tried to play it that way our country would lose all integrity, credibility, and trust on the global scale for at least the next four years. However, I have seen name changes as a way to hide PR issues, particularly among small companies.

      It’s a reference to an ancient shock internet website called goatse.cx - it pictured a significantly dilated anus.

          You thought it might be worse than advertised?

            Most of those shock sites are gone or have been replaced so my expectations have shifted. The risk was that I WOULD get what was advertised.

      No deal, both because you accepting the “Gulf of America” nonsense is bad and also because the Antarctic Circumpolar Current doesn’t get anywhere near the coast of Australia.
