Is it your place of birth, the blood in your veins, is it where you grow up or is it the country that your passport says? imo nationality is determined by someones parents, the blood that passes through a persons veins. A person can be born in a place that they may never return to or spend a few years of their chilhood in different places. |

Its where you are born and thats a fact, its the law. It can change depending on your passport but your parents/blood in your veins as you put it has 0% to do with it and its not an opinion I am giving its a fact. |

its where your parents are born, the blood in their veins is in yours. laws are just opinions of powerful people of what is right and what is wrong

Its what the law says it is, what you say vs what the law says. Only one winner, this goes for more than just this. |

Nationality is usually the place your parents are living in when you're born and subsequently the place you grow up. Blood and such and such has nothing to do with it, it's not to be confused with your ethnic origin. |

It's whatever you feel an allegiance to, for whatever reason you feel that allegiance. And that is a fact. |

Law is different from country to country, and is still a decision made on opinion and debate. Not fact. |

what does the law say about an illegitimate child born in a country to a mother illegally living in that country and is subsequently deported? |

Yes but when the law is put in place its then fact.  Ok if born in England what i said is true which also sparked my comment in the random thoughts thread which then sparked this. So law is fact in the circumstance I said.

I dunno, you can feel an allegiance to a few different countries, even if you've never been or only been once or twice  There's a difference between your nationality as required by forms and stuff and what you just decide you are I guess. |

WOAH WOAH WOAH I might be wrong but DTMM put this in the "Debate" section for a reason. I think he's looking for more than just the definition of law but what he feels may be a greater inner feeling, a sense of belonging or even looking at other options than simply where you are born. After all a few on here have British passports but consider themselves English, Welsh and Scottish. For me, your nationality is what's in your heart. If I was to move to another country although I would live by the laws of that country I think I would still consider a big part of me as British. |

Law is still not fact. The fact there is a law doesn't make the actual law itself a fact. In whatever circumstance you talk about, including yours. |

thanks ted. my opinion, as I stated, of nationality is the blood in you. i was born In Dublin, raised in Dublin, rarely leave Dublin. Both my parents were Irish, 3/4 of my grandparents are Irish, 1 was english. I'd say I'm 1/4 English but anything less than that is negligible imo. We can take all sorts of examples but come up with them yourselves. @az - I've been to Germany and like the people and the place immensly but I don't consider myself german or ever would. I don't think feeling an allegiance to a place defines nationality. |
