I was making a general consideration Bewolf (something that Xabbie has a difficult time coping with).
What's wrong with adopting a single system that 99% of the world uses ? |
Nothing wrong at all. Actually, it would make a lot more sense. The problem is, when a country starts to look more at its past then the future, then tradition becomes a nation identifier. Common sense does not work in such an environment as it becomes too embedded within these folks mind as a national trademark. Fighting it will only result in stiff resistance. Better let them stick with their system, as archaic it may be, and let them figure it out themselves. Once they gain other stuff again to be proud of, it's a no brainer.
