Thank you for this, recently found the 3 min thread on the BBC website and was fascinated by this. I actually live nearby where it was sighted and actually have the means to speak to the guy becuase of a work thing, just a bit concerned that it would be a bad idea for proffessional reasons...

That's a matter of opinion ;) but that's ok, I did insult you a little unfairly. My overall arguement isn't about individuals, partly because I don't really know any beyond the things we've all written here, my point is that as an outsider, this topic reflects very badly on America as a whole...

Thanks for validating my arguement by ignoring it completely and attacking me instead. Did you do that because you're pissed off that I'm right or because I'm wrong Coyote? If I'm wrong - can you tell me why? Instead of telling me blahblah about Obama kissing peoples ass which didn't answer a...

I think all of us that have grown up in the city know a few friends that have become drug casualties along the way, set against a background of the majority of others who just stroll on regardless with whatever minor habit, and of course those who don't bother at all. At least prohibition...

Ok thanks again for the info, I'm part asking because I actually don't know this kind of detail - of course we take an interest in our partners but we, sorry I - don't look at the detail of your politics, I think it's fair to say that a lot of people on this side of the pond just pick up on the...

lol ok, even I'm bored of my rightous indignation. I'm still right though ;)

*shrug* I'd love to hear you elaborate on that one. Racist.

If the subject wasn't one you know you can contribute to, you wouldn't have posted :P Don't be shy. When Obama was elected - America said "look at us everyone now, we have moved on from our problems now". Then America proceeded to chase it's own tail around and around and around. You wanted...

Ok thanks, that's more like it, I was hoping someone would say something sensible. Still... 240+ posts about a birth certificate... and this is hardly the place for politics generally is it. Here's my next question. Has the birth certificate question ever been asked before of a single other...

*shrug* How does that answer my question? Tell me why I'm wrong.

Thanks Gene. So presumably there's a reason behind that rule, if all is equal there is no need for the rule. What is the reason? ---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ---------- I'm going to tell you what I think. I think that the reason this is written...

Ok trying again with my question, maybe I phrased it badly last time. Why does America insist that it's president has to be born in America? Also, perhaps I don't quite understand the actual rule, is it really based on place of birth and not actually a citizenship thing? To an outsider -...

As a non American, I'd interested to understand the answer to this question. What is it, specifically, that makes a baby born in America, better than a baby not born in America - at having a career in American politics later on in their life?

Really enjoyed this show, innovative choice of guest, a fascinating conversation that gave a a real insight into an area that I previously knew nothing about and often felt irritated by if I'm honest.

Fantastic, congratulations guys.
