       Once again, you interject an observation that is not on topic or even
       comprehensible to normal people. I don't know where you come up with
       these. I can only assume this is some bizarre way of proving how wise
       and worldly you think you are.

 
       Example:  Someone who's "proud to be an American" likely had little
       choice in the matter and thus has little basis for pride.

 
       Of course they have a choice. No one's stopping anyone from
leaving and
       renouncing their citizenship.

 
       "...had..."

 
       No one was stopping anyone from leaving and renouncing their
   citizenship in
       the past, either.

 
       Says little about pride.  Most live in the state where they were born.

      
       That doesn't mean they have no choice in the matter.

 
     True, if I tell you at gunpoint to eat wasps, you still have a choice...

    
     Yes, because people are being held at gunpoint and prevented from
leaving
     their state of birth.
    
     Great analogy!

 
   If I'd intended an analogy, "gunpoint" would refer to the enormous
   inconvenience and stress surrounding a change of citizenship ...

  
   So people decide to stay where they because they can't bother. Not because
   they're forced to.

 
 What would it take to "force" them to?

 
 Um... force?

 
Such as?

Such as the force the government typically uses: laws, rules, regulations,
statutes, ordinances, and by-laws backed up with men in uniforms with guns.
