I think it’s Great. But I don’t think the test is that hard. My Mom is from Holland & came ovr after ww2.  She passed the test as a 10 yr old I think.  They changed tge spelling of her 1st name at Elllis island Irma to Erma . The women said that’s the way it’s spelled in America, which isn’t true.  My Mom changed her middle name from Christeen Ann the Rae.  Not because of Marylin Monroe. Because a older girl in school had the middle name.   When she became a American citizen. My last name is Naitive American it was changed long ago to a more English name.  It’s multi meaning the main was is The Forrest . GW called us the Invisible warriors of the Forrest. We used a advanced technique of multiple curled waves  in different directions to hunt. The same is war.  In Vietnam they tried it but it didn’t work because they ended up shooting each other. The military still can’t use it the speed of too many directions.  They attacked from trees too.  I was joking with another part Indian a gorgeous chic. About being 3 yrs old & climbing all ovr apple trees. She said her brothers did the same. I know the question what was Americas  1 st ally would b on the test.  History says France but that’s not true.  It’s the Oneida Nation Indian Tribe from Ny.  The Turtle Clan helped George Washington defeat the British to declared our Independence.  On a promise that they could keep there 6 mil acres from i90 into Canada . They got 300k acres GW passed then they. . Took it all away.  They where told to move to the west side of Green Bay . Yrs later the gov fought Ny. To get some of there land back . They got 32 acres.  I get copies made at a educational bldg I speak there language.  Hv to sign in on a tablet it’s in English & Oneida , no Spanish. Pic is a relaxation area with bean bags.  ya^ ko, Thank you. The k is pronounced as a g.  Ha google says only 10 people speak the language. Truth is most do .  Ovr 400 languages here b4 the colonist .  The Oneida Tribe called it Turtle island b4 it was called America.  Not because of the oceans because of a miracle of earth that appeared on a turtle. See pic. They go back aprox 30k yrs.  They still do spiritual stuff most r in the fall . It’s for everything really & all the people here to get in harmony etc. It’s a sacred land & 1 should try a little to get in harmony with everything here . The beautiful land, to the trees , plants & all creatures and each other.

100% gurantee he would never ride for USA, not when he is proud of his German heritage.

Interesting. Chatted to my accountant about it and he advised against . US has one of the most punitive tax systems in the world (only Eritrea and Hungary are as bad) and will tax you on any earnings made outside the US - so even if you are a permanent resident of and living in another country and earning your income there the US will grab what it considers it’s share of that income ( if you are a US citizen) .

No it wasn't. A lot of men and women sacrificed their lives for this country, and to make it what it is.  A lot of people are proud to be or to become an American citizen. Kenny is one of those people. 

 No American claims it's perfect. But then we got sods like you that think those sacrifices are a joke. Out of curiosity, what country were you born in?

I’m from the UK—the country the U.S. broke away from to reject forced loyalty (ironic). The UK has also made immense sacrifices in history, often alongside the U.S. If sacrifice is what makes citizenship an unquestionable privilege, should British citizenship be held in the same regard? Or does that only apply to America?

Mate, no one in the UK sits around worrying about ‘sovereignty’ the way you think they do. People care about the economy, healthcare, and whether the trains are running on time—not some imaginary crisis you read about online. Meanwhile, the U.S. has practically sold itself out to Elon Musk, but sure, tell me more about how the UK is ‘cooked.

mods, if you need to clip this post feel free. but since it seems to be a non moto thread now....

yeah. sovereignty was too large a word for this context. what i should have said is that they hand out citizenship to anyone that's not western or se asian and apply a two-tiered justice system against the indigenous british that get to pay for the scheme through obscene taxes and all they get in return is an erosion of their freedom and a sense of despair from egregiously elevated violent and sexual crime. it's ok tho. canada and germany are right behind them. US is too in the long run if nothign changes. 

when i used the word sovereignty, i mean that there's no longer such a thing as a british state FOR the british people. don't worry tho, they'll play the patriotism card bigly when it's time to go die for the MNCs in ukraine.

many riders have done this before, it was more common in the 80-90's when you only needed the countries federation licence to race for that country, now you need a passport, 

Dean Wilson has raced for Canada and Great Britan., pretty sure Billy Liles raced for the USA and Luxemburg too,

A day in the life of the average British citizen.

8am - Get woken up by the call to prayer of the local government funded mosque.

9am - Arrival at work god praised to Allah for he is the great provider.

10am - Register for the draft to go and fight the Russians in Ukraine.

12am - Lunch time, but it’s Ramadan so eating is illegal, not even fish and chips or rat paste on toast is allowed. Kier Starmer checks all food intake personally as to not offend the Islams.

2am - Another call to prayer and the mandatory daily Arabic classes including enforced use of Arabic numerals in everyday life.

3am - Get mugged by an illegal immigrant fresh off the nearest dinghy.

4am - Get a visit from the police for reporting said crime and get a warning for offending the immigrant.

5am  - Try not to get suicide bombed on the tube home, although no one would notice as it is winter and London is very smoggy this time of year.

6am - Hand your wages to Zelensky as he makes his daily collection so he can buy a 5th house in the south of France. He doesn’t even say thank you.

7am - log into vital mx, if the horror of the day isn’t enough they come across one of magoo fans post and wish they had been suicide bombed on the way home.

8am - Its time for bed as they are travelling up to Bradford tomorrow to buy a stage 2 Cat C RS3 with pops and bangs from Mohammed and his cousin for a killer price. Unless they get arrested and thrown in prison for posting a spicy meme first.

Praise be to Allah.

I don't doubt what you are saying at all, much of what you say is actually true of the people here in the US as well. Contrary to the extremism the news media pumps out, the US didn't turn into an apocalyptic wasteland under Democrat or Republican leadership in the last 8 years, and I doubt it will in the next 4 simply because of Elon. Most people I interact with day to day, whether on the left or right, are happy, and do not in fact feel like they're living in an apocalyptic nightmare.
