That is, if a citizen is convicted in some foreign court of some offence, then it is up to a Talossan Cort in the first instance to accept or ignore that foreign ruling. "Does the alleged offence contravene Talossan Law?" is the first question, and "Has the foreign court reached its opinion in a manner that seems, to Talossa, to be just?". Thus we, in Talossa, should decide, case by case, whether to proceed under Talossan Law and jurisdiction, and are not inevitably bound by any external judgement (except, as I try always to remind us, for offences against human rights as internationally recognised).

Hmmm. You know, I forgot that I put the term "Talossan values" in there, and I'm not sure I still like it, so happy to hear alternatives. I think honestly we have to go at this through a negative definition - i.e. it's far easier to declare that a Court is not "credible" or doesn't abide by our values than the other way around (i.e. it doesn't provide a fair trial in the way we would recognize it in Talossa, because of lack of judicial independence or serious bias against certain kinds of people.)

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 13, 2021, 12:37:06 PMBe careful to define, within Talossan Law, the meaning of the word "probation"... I believe its meaning differs on the two sides of the Atlantic.QuoteA court may order the suspension of all or part of any sentence, for a period of time not to exceed two calendar years. At the end of the period of suspension ordered by the court, the suspended punishment is rescinded if the offender has not violated any condition of the suspension.This seems weird. Two years is not a long time for probation, especially for serious crimes. I'd suggest five years.

I don't know that it's really as simple as "the longer, the more incentive," necessarily.

Quote from: GV on April 10, 2021, 07:51:15 AMAs an aside: Brexit is a ****ing disaster. Total ****ing disaster :( :( :(
...Had the lifetime monarchy won out convincingly, the Compromise never would have existed. This is not what happened. As with Brexit in the United Kingdom, and even more than with Brexit, the people gave themselves a split-decision. Brexit was 52-48. The monarchy referendum of 2020 was much closer.

Quote from: GV on April 13, 2021, 09:52:44 PMNo, not "Period" but "Question Mark". In England eleven hundred years ago there was no English language. There were, instead, a number of imported, and local, languages used in particular areas. Then "William The Bastard" (... that's what he was called in France: we now call him William the Conquerer) came over and imposed French as the courtly language, and language of administration.

5. If the Talossan language is not worked on, Talossa dies. Period.

Christ, is this you trying to build a consensus? I hear honey attacks more Bees then salt.
