If you are half 1 nationality and half another, and there was.....

It's more than possible, maybe you should talk to 'other' people more who are of dual nationalities, before you talk about things you don't understand ... ?

I feel like I'm on an American forum with all the 1/3 this and 1/4 that talk.

Did we get the token 1/6th Irish yet?

You see, the crucial word there is 'entirely'.

Oops...i was tired! i know Africa is not a country

Couldn't you convince the rest of your family to move to the South. I mean, you'd have the Queen and everything there

Damn! Why are you forcing me to be blatantly nosey? I just wanted to know what African country your African parent is from.

It's not a question of moving, my family will be northern no matter where they live.

Not sure what you mean by the Queen comment to be honest. Though theoretically in the event of a North vs South war I can't see the Queen makeing much difference. For that to happen there would have to be a huge shift in the political landscape and so if you are thinking practically issues such as industrial and military capability would enter into it far more than the Queen. Who is really a constitutional safeguard against tyranny, which would be meaningless if the political process had broken down that far.

This is exactly why dual nationality shouldn't exist. First, because it puts certain people in a superior position to others, and, also, because it causes confusion in times of international conflict. How can someone with both an Afghani and British nationality be entirely loyal to one or the other? It should either be the case that you rescind your former nationality completely or that you keep it and stop calling yourself British.

Okay, I think the whole partial nationality thing to be incredibly stupid. If you have dual citizenship then I guess you can say you're split between the two(or more) but when people think that they're 1/3 Spanish and 1/3 English and a 1/3 Italian because their parents were born there it's absolutely ridiculous. I have both an American passport(I was born there) and a British passport(I'm currently living here) and yet people think I'm only 1/3 American since my parents were born in Scotland and England(I'm not even going to debate why people think the other portion should be split between Scotland and England!) The reason I think it's incredibly dumb is that if I were to look back at my other relatives the ratio would be closer to 1/16 of each country. Since I don't retain any of the cultures of these countries, and the one that I prefer and am most closely related is the US, I consider myself 100% American, contrary to what almost everyone believes. Also, the question about what you would do if a war started is pretty idiotic. Obviously you would back the country with the best motives. Sorry if I sound really grumpy but I'm having a really bad day today.

Okay, you took my post way too seriously I'd move to the Southerners side, even though I'll always be a Northerner, it's just more convenient for me, because they'd win.

I don't want to be a loser.

How can you be a third something? One of your parents must have been born to an incestuous relationship, surely?

a war between them, what would you do. Im half spanish/english and live in britain. Im quite in touch with my spanish side, and can speak the language however ive always felt more english because of living here. But if they both went to war and i was in France at the time then i would probably...... stay there and chill and wait for the whole thing to brush over.

Saying that i figure france would probably be no mans land

Hmm.. yeah that might very well happen. And there are quite a few who feel rather strongly about past grievances, members of our generation, but still pining after the pre-Trianon great Hungary.
Oh dear... just .. move .. on.

Hmm, the whole concept of "Nagy Magyarország". It comes up far too often, as though Hungary is still what it once was.
