    To start off: a Jezebel article that every single one of us should get mad along with.
    Back when Grantland was a thing (I miss that site), there was an article titled something along the lines of "Kate Winslet is a Murderer." It was a tongue in cheek look at all the dumb things her character did in Titanic which caused so many people to die. Basically, the point in time when she goes back onto the ship from the life boat and how many people died because of that action.

    I never could understand why that movie was so popular when it was so bad...

    Ahhh, here it is. I was a bit off on the title: http://grantland.com/hollywood-prosp...till-at-large/

      Prince Charles has announced that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged. The wedding will be in the spring.

      So, does she lose US citizenship when she says "I do" and gets a royal title?

        To the US she does. Don't know if the Brits care anymore.

          I don't think it'll be royal, as in princess. She'll end up with a Duchess title, like that other one who just got married. The princess thing ended for commoners with Dianna's divorce.

              Can't you refuse the title, even though you're married to royalty, to remain a US citizen?
              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                It's not the title. The US does not recognize dual citizenship.

                      Haha.

                      One side of the Titanic is quickly sinking. The other side is not. Rose doesn’t know where to go. “This way,” Jack says, pulling her toward the not-sinking part. She goes. She stays alive. (2 hours and 37 minutes)
                      Rose is literally staring at the ship being pulled underwater. She asks, “What’s happening, Jack?” Jack doesn’t even bother to respond because he knows Rose has eyes. (2 hours and 42 minutes)
                      The ship goes under. Jack and Rose are underwater. Her one job was to not let go of him. She lets go of him. He is pulled away by the current. (2 hours and 45 minutes)

                        I had a friend in HS who had to choose at 18 between US and Polish/EU citizenship, because both of his parents are first-gen Polish immigrants and Poland is one of the EU countries that do not recognize dual citizenship. He obviously stuck with his natural-born US citizenship.

                        Germany currently only allows it with other EU countries, so your friend's dad must be grandfathered in.

                          Most likely. I think he's around 80-85 years old; I don't know the circumstances behind the duality.

                              Sorta. They don't recognize it officially, but they don't NOT recognize it. IMO, it's kind of like "English as the official language." It's not, but it kinda is.

                                I suppose, if you want to get into the semantics of "recognize" vs. "permit/allow". I thought you were intimating that the US does not allow dual citizens; my mistake.
