And they don't make the choice at birth to be citizens. How is that voluntary?


"Minors seeking to renounce their U.S. citizenship must demonstrate to a consular officer that they are acting voluntarily, without undue influence from parent(s), and that they fully understand the implications/consequences attendant to the renunciation of U.S. citizenship. Children under 16 are presumed not to have the requisite maturity and knowing intent to relinquish citizenship; children under 18 are provided additional safeguards during the renunciation process, and their cases are afforded very careful consideration by post and the Department to assess their voluntariness and informed intent."

                    ah(nm) - dangertim MU - 4/8 11:20:22
     citizenship is applied to a newborn, they aren't given - 90Tiger STL - 4/8 10:40:50
          So if you aren't able to be a citizen at birth but can do so - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/8 11:08:39
               No. How do you compare those two things? - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:31:05
          That does not change the fact that as soon as their - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/8 10:49:47
               I was corrected on that(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/8 11:21:02
               This is downright false. (nm) - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:19:10
               Citizenship is imposed at birth by force and without choice - pickle MU - 4/8 10:53:57

                    sure, but this is about dropping it - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/8 10:45:56
                         This isn't just about "dropping it". The question in the OP - 90Tiger STL - 4/8 10:47:32
                              But dropping it is voluntary...is it not?(nm) - Outsider MU - 4/8 10:48:57
                                   That doesn’t make the relationship voluntary - pickle MU - 4/8 11:04:29
                                        Wow, awesome example. (nm) - Outsider MU - 4/8 11:30:34
                                   Sure, what does that have to do with whether becoming - 90Tiger STL - 4/8 10:50:59
                                        I said it is a voluntary association - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/8 10:58:36
                                             No, you realized halfway through the thread that minors - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:18:23
                                                  I was wrong on that point, but it is consistent with most - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/8 11:20:30
                                                       It's not. (nm) - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:23:17
                                                       lol (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 4/8 11:22:30
                                                            Show me one adult being forced to maintain citizenship - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/8 11:24:40
                                                                 It's amazing how quickly you change your parameters - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:26:07
                                                                      So answer this - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/8 11:31:16
                                                                           It's not the same thing. - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:34:34
                                                                           There is no legitimacy behind it - pickle MU - 4/8 11:34:03
                                                                      yep (nm) - pickle MU - 4/8 11:30:43
                                                       No, it is not a voluntary relationship (nm) - pickle MU - 4/8 11:22:28
                                             false (nm) - pickle MU - 4/8 11:06:00
                                        because citizenship becomes voluntary - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/8 10:55:07
                                             A relationship can't all the sudden become volunatry. - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:17:20
                                                  look up what voluntary means - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/8 11:21:11
                                                       Look up what voluntary association means. - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:28:14

                                                                 To use pickle's example above. - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:36:53
                                                                      Who is forcing you under threat to remain a citizen? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/8 11:37:26
                                                                           The state, unless I hand over money. - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:39:00
                                                                                So since there are consequences if I don't pay my - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/8 11:43:23
                                                                                     You signed up for that under a written contract - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:45:13
                                                            yes, that's why I said it is no longer a voluntary - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/8 11:29:34
                                                                 I think you mean the opposite. - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:35:55
                                                                      correct, sorry(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/8 11:49:00
                                                                      Penalties have nothing to do with it - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/8 11:36:52
                                                                           the State solely exists by force and coercion - pickle MU - 4/8 11:40:17
                                                                                except that your citizenship becomes voluntary - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/8 11:49:38
                                                                                     It doesn't. - kmawv8 KC - 4/8 11:52:27

                              you responded to this specific question - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 4/8 10:48:56
