Putting a Canadian maple leaf on you luggage is helpful.

If you're all going to follow Chris into French Canada or wherever he's planning to go, just remember, it's "je m'appelle". Not the way he wrote it.

THe first paragraph reads: "People in European and Muslim countries see US policy in Iraq as a bigger threat to world peace than Iran's nuclear programme, a survey has shown."

So people in the rest of the world agrees with the people in this country on that point.

Now if we could only get the government of this country to agree with the people of this country.

So, uh, out of curiosity what was supposed to piss us off about that?

Well, as I said, it's "only" about 31% of Americans that think the US poses a great threat, which is definitely substantial but less than the 46% that think Iran poses a great danger. Most other countries have more people that think the US is a big threat compared to people that think Iran is a big threat.

To become a US citizen you have to renounce other citizenship, provided you are not born that way, but the reverse does not hold true. I know that you can become French through marriage, my aunt did that, what are other ways to be part of a different country.

Is there a way I could stay American but have a Canadian passport as well? You know, for protection in other countries.

By the way,

The only thing that would annoy me, on this topic, is if someone tried to convince me it matters when people think, "All Americans are fat and stupid," or, "Every American is either a hate monger or an apathetic bastard." I'm more annoyed by the idea that I should care about what a bigot who judges people before he or she meets them thinks than I am at the bigot's actual thoughts.

In this case nothing of the sort came up so I'm totally non-pissed.

Not too sure, but I do know somebody who was born and raised in Canada but also had an American passport simply because his mother was American (his father was Canadian). But he was born a significant number of decades ago (a nice way of saying he's an old man), and it's likely that the laws have become stricter since then.

I've found that most people will get to know you before they do the "Evil American" generalization. But when I'm dealing with a potentially sketchy person, I have absolutely no problem saying I'm from Canada.

I know about that kind of thing, it's simple really, prove that at least one of your parents is American and you are one two, no matter who you are or where you're from.

But being born isn't the only way to become a citizen, though it helps if you've done that first.

Dual citizens aren't too rare, My Aunt is a dual citizen France and US as are her two kids. A quick look says that under Canadian law you don't need to renounce earlier citizenships to become a Canadian so in theory they could all become tri citizens if they were to become permanent residents of Canada and jump through the appropriate hoops, doesn't look there are that many hoops either.

I don't think I was all that far from being Canadian actually, if I'd been a bit premature I would have been.

I have a problem, I say something random about citizenship, and then I feel the need to do research on the topic for no real reason other than saying something randomly.

my problem is that the entire nature of the war is illegitimate. not because there were no WMDs, but because Saddam was put in power by our own CIA to begin with. as throughout history, revolutions and counter-revolutions have been orchestrated by interests with the gain of consildating power. we know that our government has plotted to attack us as a pretext for invasion before(operation northwoods), and in this case even released plans to invade Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran following a 'pearl harbor-like attack' (PNAC documents)3-5 yrs prior to 9/11 and the '03 invasion.

pro-war apologists will claim that the US had "moral and legal authority," to remove Saddam, but when the reality and nature of war in general is highly political, and frankly sinister and diabolical, then such arguements are irrelevent outside the theoretical bubble theyre propogated in

the war in Iraq is really a re-establishment of a pro western style government that is proven to be manipulate-able by the elite. the central banks, the royal families, and transnational corporations are plotting to destroy all global sovereignty.

this is what happened with Iraq: they tried with Saddam, but he became an independant megalomaniac, apart from the globalists, and they had to dethrone him. thats all thats happening! there is nothing benevolent about it. it makes me sick to see people giving these actions justification, when these same people who are shaping global politics are also actively seeking to enslave, dehumanize and regulate the worlds "subhuman" (in their minds) working classes

this elite shadow government loves to create chaos, because amidst the fear and instability, people clamor for security and safety, and this leaves them the oppertunity to swoop in, with this for-ordained plan for control. this has been the catalyst for these people to obtain the wealth and control up to present; to steal everything that once belonged to people rightfully, through the propogation of fear and war

the problem with us Americans, and the world over, is that unless we comprehend the magnitude of this conspiracy, people will foolishly be caught up in a Lie, a reality opposite of the truth, to your own peril. it seems the democrats have an agenda to promote the failure of the war, because the globalists dont intend to leave; and the republicans will keep pushing for Iraq and the war on terror because theyre using America as the engine to create this mechanism that will become a one world economy, one world fascist plutocracy police state.

the thing is, real issues cant be avoided, so since both parties are controlled, they cant be so obvious as to both support the (luciferian) grand agenda. so the issues must be taken and spun in the favor of the globalists, with the parties giving 2 sides to the same arguement.

for example, in this illegal immigration debate, shouldnt Mexicos economy and government be scrutinized for the situation theyve created? or the American elite for profiting from slave labor? but NO! instead our 2 primary parties give us the option of amnesty, a guest worker program, an ID card, or a wall. none of which resolve the problem, but deflect it onto we middle class Americans. only from the truth can you establish a solid foundation, but their is no intention to tell the public the truth. thats a case in point.

i dont know about Iran, but i am highly skeptical of everything that is happening, just remember that you cant listen to what the politicians tell you; they are selling you on something, telling you something which is a highly sanitized half truthful rhetorical arguement; but obvserve their actions. if youll notice, all signs are pointing to the deliberate creation of a "new world order"
