Poll for Americans
Real American:
--- Quote from: -Sikotic- on November 09, 2005, 07:34:05 PM ---The whole Japan/American connection doesn't work. Japanese are one nationality of people while Americans are made up of hundreds of nationalities. Of course if a non-Japanese person goes to Japan and becomes a citizen, he won't be as Japanese as a Japanese person. Your argument is flawed.
Sephr is proud of his Persian heritage, but he's as American as you and I are. Why should he completely deny being Persian in order to be 100% American? Just because you choose to ignore being from Poland, Ukraine, or where ever your ancestors are from doesn't make you any more American either.

You arguement is flawed. Sephyr himself referred to Iran as "my country". Clearly that is where his allegiance lies. I am 100% American and that is where my loyalty is at. Don't tell me that someone who doesn't feel the same way is just as American as me. I don't care about some foreign country and its culture, I care about America and our American culture.
[sepehr]:
Are you or I a president? No, I am just as American as you are. Just because I have pride in the country which is of my descent, does not mean I "pledge allegiance" to it.

You can care about foreign countries and your own. It's not that hard.
I mean, there's some people with dual citizenship. They're only 50% American now? If you're a citizen of the United States, live here regularly, and abide by it's laws then you're 100% American.
