    Therefore, continuing with your train of logic, Emma Watson is not British as she was not born in Britain.

    If my parents were Italian, but I was born in Ireland, would that make me Italian or Irish? Again, it's just a simple case of not being a hypocritical flip-flopper. If you believe in a certain philosophy and then back-track, alter definitions and not hold true to your original claim, than you are fooling only yourself.
    2 things make nationality, Parents nationailty and the country you was born in. I said he wasn't born in America because that's how you usually claim fighters, now your trying to claim people that moved over there as your own. You're worse than Canadians claiming Lennox Lewis.

        This is your personal definition because an individual's parents nationality is not considered to be a determining factor of one's own nationality. You are making up your own definitions which makes it difficult to argue a point since you can continuously alter meanings of certain words.



        I said he wasn't born in America because that's how you usually claim fighters, now your trying to claim people that moved over there as your own. You're worse than Canadians claiming Lennox Lewis.

        Since, you claim that two things determine nationality, is Emma Watson half-French?

          Emma Watson is French if she considers herself French. All those **** scientists they shipped over to America lived most of their lives there, were they American too or don't you want to claim them because you have nothing to gain?

                You are adding new elements to what constitutes nationality with every new post. Now an individual's choice of what nationality they are is also thrown in the mix, in that case Nonito Donaire considers himself a Filipino-American, so do you agree with him or do you still believe he is exclusively Filipino?


                Nonito Donaire jr. is a Filipino American professional boxer.

                    ahhh so that explains why hes always carrying the american flag in the ring with him everytime he fights and he has stars n stripes always in his jacket!
