I can take a joke. When the same message is said so much over a period of time, it makes it seem like it's not much of a joke, but instead, a hostile message.
Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.You also don't seem to notice that almost everything in New Manhattan revolves around the military. There is military propaganda on literally every street in NM, we don't even have police, we literally only have a military division set aside for patrols around the city. The majority of taxes go toward military, I mean, the list goes on.
Agh, stop it.
Look, you can't win against PHMA.
You. Just. Can't.
Don't even bother trying to rationalize your boasting, because if it were put to the test, then it wouldn't be as it says it is.
EDIT: Believe me, I don't want to fight you. You deserve to be a sovereign nation, and I respect that, but if you keep blaring that message in everyone's faces, then people won't like you. In this light, it makes sense to say:
"New Manhattan is like America..."
