budaatum:Charlie stated that airlines are required to meet a certain quota of certain democraphics, So when they do not have enough of that democraphics, they reduce their cut off and admission criteria When you get on a flight how will you know Pilot A or Pilot B got up to the required marks or he was pushed to meet a certain quota Same way we view Adamu in Nigeria, Is this Adamu at NNPC there because he was one of the best in his school or just pushed there as part of a quota |

raumdeuter:I do not think I would necessarily have a "proof of citizenship" even if I was born in Texas. Ijebos, please correct me if I am wrong here. I just got a new birth certificate here in UK, and it specifically states that it is not proof of identity, much less citizenship, since just about anyone can order a copy of my birth certificate if they have sufficient knowledge of my details. In fact, I had to go to Scotland Yard to prove I am me the last time I renewed my passport because someone else had acquired one in my name. I had to give finger prints to prove I wasn't that person whose finger prints they already had because that person had been in jail. |

IjeBos:Please, what is a proof of citizenship? And would I have one if my grandparents were citizens? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by budaatum: 6:21pm On Apr 01 |
raumdeuter:I thought it might be. It isn't here in UK because of reasons I've previously stated. |

GracieX3:I hope you aware that Hezbolla from their South America bases and sleepers in America weretrafficking cocaine and other hard drugs to mainland America. They was laundering the money by buying American cars and selling them abroad especially in Nigeria. They were sending over 2000 used cars a month to Nigeria. When the DEA investigation Project Cassandra was about to start making arrests Obama stopped them. He was negotiating the jpcoa deal with Hezbollah who are sponsored by Iran. Another reason to hate Obama. Talk about competence also . |

budaatum:Your birth certificate is your proof of citizenship because either 1. It shows you were born in the US which automatically makes you a citizen or 2. It shows one of your biological parent whose name is on your birth certificate is a US citizen which makes you also a citizen The other way to be a citizen is by naturalization and this is where your certificate of naturalization comes in |

benalvino3:Yes, In 1540! And the same UK is resisting to abolish it. Cousin marriage has been legal in the UK since 1540, following a 1,000-year prohibition by the Church, allowing Henry VIII to marry Catherine Howard. Once common, particularly in the 19th-century upper classes, it declined sharply by the 1920s to around 1 in 300 marriages. |

raumdeuter:No reputable airline anywhere will "reduce their cut off and admission criteria" to the extent they hire unqualified pilots to fly their multimillion dollar planes. In fact, I very much doubt such an airline will get insurance cover to fly. Even you are smart enough, I hope, not to fly on an airline that hires unqualified pilots. And if an unqualified pilot crashes a plane, which is to be expected, that airline will immediately cease to exist, and will have to pay millions in damages too. But what's worse is how some will react to seeing a black person or woman is going to pilot them. They'd question their qualification, as if being black and or female is disqualifying, and white and male is a qualification. Below is an example of the idiocy Kirk's rhetoric promotes. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFg4LCaxpa-/?l=1

raumdeuter:Similar here in UK I guess, ever since Margaret Thatcher abolished citizenship by birth with the British Nationality Act 1981, which came into force on January 1, 1983, and abolished automatic right of jus soli ("right of soil" .Like in USA, one of your parents must be a British citizen or "settled" in the UK to qualify. And you must provide evidence to prove it. So, basically, a birth certificate is not sufficient to prove citizenship in UK, because it does not state parental status. The below is from the copy of the new birth certificate I just got. My original does not however say anything of the sort.

budaatum:Black or women is not the disqualifying, Its the quota system that guarantee that a certain number If I tell you that admission into flight school is 90% but we must pick 10 people from Osun, 10 from Gombe, 10 from Abia. What now happens if we have more than 10 people from Abia who score 90, but we only have 6 people who scored 90 from Osun? That means you have t drop some over 90% from Abia because its pegged at 10 candidates If you are trying to enforce 10 people from Osun, that will mean you have to pick 4 people who did not get up to 90% In the future when passengers hear a pilot is from Osun, then they start to wonder, Boy, I hope he's qualified or Are you one of those under 90%? |

GracieX3:Don't you worry. You'd stop thinking and actually know after you've been here long enough. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by GracieX3(f): 7:03pm On Apr 01 |
raumdeuter:There are standard minimum flying hours for pilots in America. There is no reduction in standards or pass mark for pilots. Instead of talking rubbish, just admit Charlie Kirk was dead wrong and racist. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 7:05pm On Apr 01 |
budaatum:The bold only applies when you are not born on US soil which means you have to report the birth at an embassy and fill certain forms to prove that at least one of the biological parents is an American https://travel.state.gov/en/international-travel/living-abroad/birth.html Every birth on US soil is a citizen by default |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by GracieX3(f): 7:06pm On Apr 01 |
budaatum:I'm really worried for the guy. We were talking about how some things (cars) are expensive in Nigeria, then he just shifted to Hezbollah and Obama. This is how madness starts. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 7:07pm On Apr 01 |
GracieX3:Charlie was not wrong and was not racist, That was the argument he made which is very applicable to quotas used for certain people in Nigeria to guarantee outcomes. Shockingly most Nigerians who frown at that in Nigeria are supporting it in America |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by budaatum: 7:11pm On Apr 01 |
raumdeuter:DEI would make you ask why you have 90% from Abia and only 10% from elsewhere. And it will propel you to address the barriers, which can not include reducing the requirements for admission and final competence because of reasons I have stated. Most countries will do DEI where women are concerned because it is recognised that barriers that have precluded women have existed for decades and need to be dismantled, and it does not involve lowering standards, but helping them meet the standards if assistance is required. Here is an example from F1. They are not making cars slower or anything, just making it possible for women to stand a chance of getting on the grid. Îgnorant people like Kirk would however claim that's how Lewis Hamilton got on the grid. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by GracieX3(f): 7:13pm On Apr 01 |
raumdeuter:What rubbish are you saying? Charlie Kirk was talking about American pilots and you are here talking about Nigerians. Charlie Kirk questioned if a black pilot is qualified. Is there anything like an unqualified pilot? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by budaatum: 7:14pm On Apr 01 |
raumdeuter:Not here in UK, sadly, since Maggie changed the law. Parents must be here legally for the child to qualify. But I have the funny feeling compassion would make us apply that law leniently, as we tend to not deport children. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 7:23pm On Apr 01 |
budaatum:The way to address that is to ensure everyone is given a fair chance but not reducing criteria and enforcing quotas Ensure that every state gets a chance, you interview from all state but stick to your admission criteria. When you enforce quotas, then it might make some with less that the admission criteria get in, which at the end, the people getting served do not want to be served by someone who only got in through a quota |

GracieX3:Anyone that is not emotional can understand the logic behind that especially Nigerians |

budaatum:So whats the criteria to register to vote in the UK |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by GracieX3(f): 7:29pm On Apr 01 |
raumdeuter:Budaatum has destroyed your Nigerian sideshow. Please is there anything like an unqualified American pilot, as Charlie Kirk insinuated? |

IjeBos:Bros, I said he as a Supreme Court justice has voted against some of Trump’s cases. Yes I get that people look at him as conservative. But I think that at the court, the guy acts to not pervert the course of justice. Na wa o. Your gay things no make sense anymore bros. Thanks be to God you’re not like buda. She said she’s both male and female - in real life. I wash my hands off. Enuf said. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 7:40pm On Apr 01 |
GracieX3:Anyone can fly a plane with minimal instructions, what raumdeuter or Charlie Kirk are talking about is if the person is the most qualified, the best from the basket or the person was selected even if they are not the best option because of their color. This is common sense. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by IjeBos(m): 7:40pm On Apr 01 |
budaatum:These are proof of citizenship for the Save Act: -Valid U.S. Passport: A valid U.S. passport (passport card or booklet) is the primary acceptable document.Interesting question. If your grandparents were citizens, I think most likely you'd be a citizen, but there are residency requirements and you'd have to apply I would think. Found this: 3.

DEI ensures that everyone is given a fair chance!!! Y’all conservative folks cannot truly be this slouw. OBVIOUSLY, the isms that plagued this country made it such that only a certain subset of the population were given chances. You have to be truly denzze to think that people who bought and sold your kind would happily give you a chance if there weren’t any kind of policy to enforce it. That’s what DEI did. Made it such that people who’s fair chances were taken away because of their race, gender and identity were included in the fair chance pool from where the most qualified are then selected. It cannot be explained in simpler terms than this. You guys should stop wasting your time explaining Sorry I’m “yelling”. Slow folks annoy me 🤣🤣🤣 |

raumdeuter:The local authority send you a form and you fill it out with your name, and I think they've included National Insurance number now, but every worker has one. You are asked to state if you qualify to vote or not, and are reminded that you should not vote if you do not qualify. It is a criminal offence to lie, and the assumption is that they will find out. You must provide id if you go to a polling station to vote. I vote by post, so no id is required. Below is a list of id that are accepted. https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-elections/voter-id/accepted-forms-photo-id The following accepted items made me laugh, but know you must show id to get them. And the standard Oyster Travelcard we top up in the shops is not included. Older Person’s Bus Pass funded by the UK Government Disabled Person’s Bus Pass funded by the UK Government 60+ London Oyster Photocard funded by Transport for London Freedom Pass Do know that I have nothing whatsoever against id to vote. My objection, if any, is dump's weaponisation of it. But personally, if the hunter learns to shoot without missing, just learn to fly without perching and get the id, is my motto. |
