[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 332299, member: 7185"] I'll answer your first section with this: got a better idea for a system? Because we don't. And please, don't bring that socialist crap here. As far as the international opinion of the U.S of A....we've taken a beating there, no argument. If you're going to blame Mr. Bush, fine. I will not defend his foreign policy decisions after March 2003 when the Iraq War started. I've lost at least two high school classmates in the Middle East in the last three years and quite frankly find the Iraq War to be a miscarriage of our checks and balances system. Let's leave this alone now, shall we? Hey, UK, I've got a lot of respect for your government and your people. Next to Americans, they're the hardiest people I've ever met! I'll never forget Winston Churchill's 'we will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them in the streets' speech my high school history teacher extolled for a week. No, that's not where my problem lies. I'd like to visit London in the next couple years (my reward for paying off these student loan debts I'll be carting around starting soon). As far as the young [I]woman[/I], I would not give up my American citizenship. Uh-uh....NOT happening. And if I'm not mistaken, you are allowed to retain the citizenship of your home country when you become a naturalized American citizen. As a result, you would have dual citizenship. I fail to see a problem here, with the exception of the pride of being a British subject being lost. Ahhh, well....never having been a British subject, I really can't speak intelligently on this subject. He's taking advantage because he's been here since he was a teen, had a job here since then and has a wife and kids here. He's enjoyed the freedoms of American shores, the protections afforded Americans AND the rights (with the exception of voting) and the amenities of American shores (probably including home-ownership, too). I saw a figure once about home-ownership in the UK, particularly England. Its nowhere near what we have. C'mon....being here THAT long while doing all this without deciding to become a citizen doesn't bother you a little? Sorry, UK and Sober....I guess there's too much of that traditionalist and/or patriot in me. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
