    hmm, let me give examples:

    if u were born in Britain, then it is your right to be British!

    and if u r British, then u should be grateful that u r British with all the advantages of being British as it is a great country and many people wishes to be British!

    but, there are many who wish not to be British and are grateful to be citizens of their own nation like me!

    I'm "Swedish" and i wish not to be British even though Britain is a great country!

    and I'm grateful for being Swedish

    but may be there is some Afghany, who wishes not to be Afghani and wishes to be British!

    Citizenship is an honor if u percieve it to be an honor!

    It is a right because we pay out our ears for it.
