And here I was thinking you were a true American if you were either born in the country or met the requirements for citizenship and took an oath of loyalty. Silly me.

So, does that mean I'm not a true American?

 

[The ClayTaurus]

So, does that mean I'm not a true American?

Only 90%. So sorry.

 

[Shattered]

Only 90%. So sorry.

Now what do I do?

 

[The ClayTaurus]

Now what do I do?

Run towards a government installation yelling "LALALALLALALALLALALALALLALALAL" at the top of your lungs. Your virgins await you.

[misterblu]

Now what do I do?

It says you MIGHT be an American, leaving the 'requirements' open. I think you're OK.

 

[The ClayTaurus]

It says you MIGHT be an American, leaving the 'requirements' open. I think you're OK.

True. But you'll need to get the ACLU to represent you, legally.

 

[Shattered]

But it also means I might not.. Unless Clay's just trying to cause trouble by basically telling me it's hopeless...

 

[misterblu]

Sure, but you might also do ALL of those and still not be an American.

Perhaps it IS hopeless. :

 

[The ClayTaurus]

Just face it. The 3 of us will never measure up. Anyone speak French? SUCK-AY-BLUR or something, right?

Hey! Don't drag me down with you two. I do ALL of those things. :

 

[GotZoom]

I guess I'm good to go.

I'd like to see one more added though.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You always make a point of thanking any military member you see for their service to our country.

 

[007]

I guess I'm only a 90%'r too. I'm not giving my "last dollar" to anybody. Go earn your own.
