A quick definition of jus soli:

Term: JUS SOLI

Definition: Jus soli means that if a baby is born in a certain country, they automatically become a citizen of that country. This is the rule in the United States, as stated in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. It's like saying that if you're born in a certain house, you automatically become a member of that family. This is different from jus sanguinis, which means that citizenship is determined by the citizenship of the baby's parents.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Jus soli is a Latin term that means "right of the soil." It refers to the rule that a child's citizenship is determined by the place of their birth. In the United States, this rule is affirmed by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. This is in contrast to jus sanguinis, which is the rule that a child's citizenship is determined by the citizenship of their parents.

  • A child born in New York City to parents who are not U.S. citizens would still be considered a U.S. citizen because of jus soli.
  • However, a child born to U.S. citizens while they are living abroad would not automatically be considered a U.S. citizen because jus soli only applies to those born on U.S. soil.

These examples illustrate how jus soli works in practice. It means that anyone born on U.S. soil is considered a U.S. citizen, regardless of their parents' citizenship. This is meant to ensure that anyone born in the United States has a right to citizenship and the protections that come with it.

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.

@babycat: got to keep those legs flexible so you don't pull anything, I need to get back into yoga to release and stretch out tension in my muscles. Stretching is where I fail the most with fitness

Gotta always be ready to release that energy. Like if I am in a fight at the bar, I just gotta bust out a couple punches. No stretching.
