That's not the question, which one do you possess?
DA!
You adopt the mindset of the country in which you live the longest, which is why traditionalist persons who bring their children here, to the US, like Mexicans, Indians, Chinese, for example, forbid their children marry outside the religion or nationality. When, in fact, these children often do not and it brings "shame" on the family. A Jew marries a Gentile, an Indian marries a Bovine, a Muslim an Israeli, shit like that happens all the time in the US and it is an almost purely American mindset. One would not see that all the time overseas.
Also, if I have a certain mindset and I work overseas with my children going to school in say.....Australia, if I send them to regular schools they will develope an Aussie mindset and Australian accent, but you're right that makes them AMERICAN.
They would cease to be American and be Australian.
Exactly.
What is this?
where can one purchase this?
I want one too.
DA!

I only have Libyan citizenship. Only country i feel any affiliation to, which is why i never thought about getting another passport.
In a country that is essentially made up of immigrants that may be the case. But not all the time, i was born and raised in Britain, but i didn't adopt the British mindset(whatever the fuck that means), i still feel Libyan, i never pursued a British passport and never will and i speak Arabic as my mother tongue.
Are you saying that despite all that, i should consider myself British?
That doesn't sound right.

There's an equivalent to that Weegie song in Ireland.
Get dole cheque,
go to pub,
get fucking plastered,
go back home,
beat your wife,
you're a Dublin bastard.

You see you're being close minded about this. The point i am trying to make is there is no universal rule on nationalities. Its not as simple as you're trying to make it sound.
On a more personal note, why should we assimilate? its not like we left our country to immigrate to another country. My Father went to work in Glasgow, that does not make us Scottish.
Also, how about people who have lived all their lives in the UAE. The UAE does not give out nationalities to immigrants, do you think people should assimilate and consider themselves Emirati's regardless?
Nationalities are very concrete and simple. You simply are, or you aren't. It's called citizenship. No races, no nonsense, just you being a citizen of a country. If you have dual-citizenship, that's fine as well. It's not at all confusing.
If the UAE doesn't allow immigrants to eventually become citizens, then that's their rules and their loss. Just another reason to dislike the place and choose not to go there.

I have Libyan citizenship. Yet you want me to call myself Scottish because i haven't lived in Libya before.
I don't feel Scottish, but you think i'm wrong in not feeling Scottish, don't you?
So it is confusing, because all my life i thought i was a Libyan, now all of a sudden i find out i hail from the Queens country.
