Child is US citizen by birth, entitled to Canadian and Irish citizenship because of parentage and Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom as well as part of Ireland.

Four flies land, one on each glass. The Canadian refuses to pay for his beer, American gags and pushes his drink away. The Englishman shrugs, flicks the fly away, and drinks his beer. The Irishman picks up the fly, shakes it up and down, and shouts, "Spit it out, fucker!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was born in 1 country (passport 1). Was born to American parents and grew up in the US (passport 2). Immigrated to another country a few years ago and am just coming up on applying for citizenship (passport 3). Most countries will allow you to be a citizen of up to two other countries. Not only can you hold more than one passport, but because of multiple citizenships, you may be required to. For example, all three countries to which I have or am getting citizenship, require you to use a local passport to enter the country. If you are a US citizen, you MUST enter the US using a US passport. But when I get my Colombian citizenship, I MUST enter Colombia using the CO passport. So to travel between the US and CO, I MUST use two different passports. Edited December 13, 2022 by okalb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if he is, and that's a level of subtlety he's never exposed to date, his work is all still ahead and good luck getting a cogent explanation of his intended nuance. No, he is simply oblivious to his non stop hypocricy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You simply can not know that, you might guess that or hope that but no more. Given the prevalence of homosexuality in nature how can you not suspect it is a natural thing, not a choice? There are cultures unaffected by Christianity, the matriarchal Gunas of Guna Yala for one example, that accept overt homosexuality and cross dressing as perfectly normal. Can you not suspect it is in their DNA? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
