I looked up ‘natural’. It said nothing about “two parents this or that”.

You would. The concept of "context" or "term of art" is apparently foreign to you.

This is such a silly statement, and several of your other comments have been so silly, that I feel i'm wasting my time responding to your commentary.

I don't care if the world "Natural" meant "Jumping jacks with polka dot shoes", the point remains, xzins' definition left it as a superfluous word. What it meant wasn't relevant, because the way he interpreted the phrase, it didn't need to even be there.

All xzins gets out of it is "born citizen." He simply leaves off the word "natural" as having no purpose whatsoever.

Do yourself a favor and when referencing another freeper, ping him/her.

It's the polite thing to do.

Free Republic Ettiquette chief says ping a guy when you mention him.

I told you I would get to natural later, but that my point was to deal with born at that point in time.

One can be born a citizen naturally, so apparently, one can be born a citizen unnaturally. The only way I can conceive of an "unnatural born citizen" is by an act of tyranny decreeing a status on an undeserving child.

What do you think an "unnatural born citizen" would be?
