See my comment below. He has not only U.S. citizenship, but also French and Polish citizenship. Either allows him free movement through the EU (well, to places that won’t extradite him to the U.S.), and his French passport also gets him visa waiver travel to a number of places outside the EU. It’s exceptionally…

Polanski has dual nationality- in all likelihood, he’s traveling on his Polish or French passports. Either is an EU passport that allows him to go anywhere in the Schengen region, and his French passport would give him visa waiver access to a lot of other countries, as well. But there’s no way he’s getting his US…
Well, the bright side to that is that I’m pretty sure you can’t renew your passport if you have an open warrant against you, so if/when that time comes, he’s hosed, at least.
It’s true! I don’t even have a full appreciation of what it means to have four seasons.
My personal favorite “explanation” for why something was done a certain way in Japan was, “We are Japanese!” Okay, that’s nice and all, but that’s not actually an explanation in any meaningful sense of the word.
Chinese women typically don’t, either. Of course, there’s a distinct tendency in Japan to consider China and Chinese people backwards, et cetera, so that’s not likely to convince Team Retrograde that they should go ahead and let women keep their last names.

Right now, I’m just imagining this:
Yeah, I know that now, but not when I was fourteen, which was, um, a while ago, since I’m an Old.
Ah, Sejanus. We watched I, Claudius in my high school Latin class back in the mid-’90s, and when he showed up, there was a collective gasp, and multiple going, “What the fuck? Where did Picard get that hair?”
It’s not true that it’s automatic. Whether or not an American citizen parent can transmit citizenship to their child born abroad, depends on a number of factors, including whether the other parent is also American, whether the child was born in or out of wedlock, and whether the American citizen parent(s) meet (and…
That’s... not true at all. I mean, maybe the taxes part, but the child of an American woman doesn’t automatically get citizenship at all. The American citizen parent must meet very specific physical presence requirements, which includes submitting evidence to a local Consulate or Embassy in the form of transcripts,…

“For this president lies... like all the other men who woo you with their lies, who leave behind nothin’ but broken dreams and a torn, cotton negligee you ordered special from a Yankee catalog!”
I just googled “bewigged dogs,” and this is what came up:
I hate that I know this, but a lot of these (so-called) Christian-owned places will emblazon advertisements with Jesus fish and such. Personally, I tend to avoid such places, so fair’s fair, I suppose. Though it would seem to directly contradict the advice Jesus gives in Matthew 6:5:
Yeah, countries where and eleven-year-olds are forced to give birth after being raped by family members because abortions are illegal, or where they’re arrested and handcuffed to a hospital bed before being forced to give birth, or are told that even having an abortion in order to continue cancer treatment would…
Not to mention that the officer who was killed was himself a devout Christian who was not in favor of abortion, but he did his job and gave his life trying to protect the people in that clinic, because that’s part of being a fucking professional.
If the parents aren’t yet citizens and only have green cards, then moving to Qatar could end with them losing their immigration status if they failed to return to the U.S. at least once a year, and even that is iffy, since you’re really supposed to be able to prove that you’re residing in the U.S. if you’re traveling…
More importantly, how will everyone know how important I am without the monogrammed thermoses I’m selling?
Depressing, but not surprising. That’s basically the same argument you hear from all of the people obsessed with keeping the Confederate flag up all over the South or having “Old South” dances, or whatever. Although I feel like the “Black Pete” thing would be way easier to repurpose a bit and make enjoyable for…
