re: #203 Targetpractice

I was about to say that a lot of the countries on that list are currently dealing with horrendously bad immigration problems where they have second and even third generation immigrants who are being born effectively stateless or considered citizens of the state their parents/grandparents immigrated from because the government either drags their feet with naturalization or refuses to grant them citizenship. So you have young men who are essentially French in all but citizenship, who are being treated like shit because the government absolutely refuses to grant them citizenship if for no other reason than bullshit pride.

This is a very good point. Imagine the alienation of, for example, a young person born in France whose GRANDparents came from Algeria. You’ve lived your entire life in France. You might only speak French. It’s the only country you really know.

But you’re not REALLY French.
