That is interesting. Although my younger daughter is too young to really grasp that ideology, I'm thinking she would say she is American first and British second (although I'm sure my husband would beg to disagree with me ), even though she was born on British soil. However, my older daughter's children will more then likely think of themselves as British first, and American second, purely because they will be brought up in the UK.

Interesting topic ET, even though I hope it would never, ever see reality.

Oh wait, you mean did I piss myself in fear of the pictures? No - but then I've lived in the USA for long enough that maybe I've unconsciously absorbed some kind of tolerance for weapon pictures by osmosis.

That's six. It's too many. Nobody can possibly keep six whole promises.

I know you know what I am running on about!

But for those who don't... you have to answer 1 out of the 6 in your Naturalization exam, but you are making a promise under oath to all of them.
