There was a troll rant posted last week that complained about how hard it was to renounce ones citizenship. In fact I've heard similar comments from liberals lately.Not at all. American citizenship is remarkably hard to get rid of. For example I know of an American who took on Japanese citizenship. Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship after 21. When he did the American consulate *refused to take his American passport*. They told him to put it in a drawer somewhere in case he reconsidered(which would have gotten him in trouble with the Japanese). He had to petition the state department or something really silly to finally renounce his citizenship.I think the game is to convince us that we're held hostage behind the iron curtain of America. In reality the biggest impediment to renouncing one's citizenship is getting another country to accept you. The simple fact is that the state department isn't going to allow millions of liberals renounce their citizenship only to have them remain in this country.
I've done some reading on it so I can show whiny liberals how to go about "escaping concentration camp Amerikkka". So far there have been no takers.
I’ve never seen such a load of gibbering imbecility on an internet forum in all my f&^%ing life. What the hell is wrong with most of the people who have contributed to this thread? The self-same people who would be the ones whining and bitching about foreigners living in their country and refusing to take full citizenship are the ones who are heaping contempt upon a lifelong British citizen and Member of Parliament (and now Mayor of London) for becoming a full citizen of his own country.
I daresay Winston Churchill would have completely renounced his claim on US Citizenship as well if the US State Department made it such an inconveniance to hold a US Passport, because he was like Boris, British first and foremost, but the window-licking hoards on this thread can’t get that through their simple minds obviously...
