RE: Citizenship is a responsibility not an asset

in #life6 years ago (edited)

I never asked to be born in a specific place (I'd pick better), I never signed anything, I've never taken (or be granted) any money or privilege from "my" govt. So I owe them nothing. If they think me having a piece of paper with their logo on it make me their property, well, I beg to differ. They don't own me and I will die fighting while protecting my freedom rather then bow to the criminals in power.
And I can go wherever I want as long as I can get there.

Have you put this to the test? Have you ever paid a tax (including automatically added tax like VAT) or tried to cross national boarders without a passport?

Would you also agree that the (presumably) relative security you, your family and property enjoy has been given to you by the same accident of your birth and birthplace? In other words, that you have benefited from that chance birth and the work of your compatriots and ancestors?

No, you have no idea who I am so you can't really say anything like this about me.

Totally true, that's why I asked, albeit in rhetorical form. Could you expand on why you disagree with the statement?

Not gonna bother, really, I said enough already.

The law says you require a passport.

Who writes laws? A rotten and corrupt bunch of parasites and criminals, simple as that.

The laws exist to be followed no matter who wrote them.
