How bad is/are your country/ies?

[Strike For The South]

if you have dual-citizenship, i guess that means that you have to evaluate two governments, right?
america: not perfect, as any democracy.
israel: see above.

I dont know why we honor dual citizenship.

We are a tool of US foreign policy.

Better than being a tool of UK Foreign Policy. Same thing, nevermind.

He has no disadvantage, that I'm aware of, of holding dual citizenship. He mostly likely benefits.

It's the principal of the thing.

the only "disadvantage" is that i have to join the IDF at 18, which is only 1 year and 7 days away.

No doubt similar reasons I have dual. He loves Israel, like I love the UK, even though we aren't there permanently. Heritage probably plays a role. Plus the benefit of being able to vote in both, and being eligible for the benefits of both. For me being a UK citizen also has the benefits of being able to travel and gain work in the EU easier. And for hooah, Israeli citizenship can also be beneficial for getting work in the EU if he ever so desires.

You can take it back. Actually, I demand you take it back!

I can understand the commenwealth a bit more but still. I really don't have an argument than a purely ideally American (ya know something I tell my self before the 4th of July before baseball)

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic... There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else." Teddy Roosevelt

I realize this is different in other places for a reason. Its just one of my oddities. But for the Isreal/US, If a debate comes up whose interests are you going to have at heart?

hehe I sound like Bill O'Reily.

I think there's some law stating that if you're Norwegian, you're required to spend at least one hour of every day bitching and moaning about the government....

But in all seriousness, I'm content and happy. I'm well fed and properly clothed. We do have absolutely pathetic political "scandals", however, but in the end that's probably a good thing. A shame that good politicians have to retire on ridiculous grounds, but that's better than having utterly corrupt scumbags in charge...

Well you couldn't be a Texan and an American if you didn't.
