| Message | I'm not to sure on this. I think testing people to be a citizen isn't very affective. Whether a person can speak the language, or spell the nation name properly isn't a concern we should have. |
| Date | 01:41:01, January 02, 2008 CET | From | Enlightened Cosmic Brotherhood | To | Debating the Nationality |
| Message | Exactly. Logically, citizenship may only be granted to those born in this nation. Immigration is most illogical. |
| Date | 08:10:30, January 02, 2008 CET | From | Union of Logic (The Original First One) | To | Debating the Nationality |
| Message | We believe that gaining citizenship by testing means is better as it gives a test for as the CLWPAB says to know if they can even speak our language or understand our way of life, and citizenship is something that we have that defines our common unifying factor. So therefore there is no unifying factor in someone who does not know our way of life, and therefore a means of testing someone in our way of life is better as we believe that if anyone no matter where from deserves citizenship if truly committed to gaining it. |
