Sad, but I gotta stop playing Paintball

[HoppysMag]

were u born in the US? If you can prove your mother is a US citizan, try to contact the US embassy and apply for asylum or citizan ship what ever it is.

Hoppy'sMag, I was born in Singapore, not the US. And I'm still trying to find out info about my Mom...

DR, I got my resume posted on Monster already...:)

Wow. If ur ready to move to the states for paintball, I'll say THAT is dedication. I really respect that.

Not that wanting to move to the states is uncommon, but it seems like you've got a comfortable life, and ur ready to shake things up for this game.

Joeyjoe367, in all honesty, this is the ONE game that I truly love and support. Out of every single sport I've played, believe you me, I've played almost every single sport I could play here, this is the one sport that I firmly believe in.

When Paintball first hit Singapore, I was there to help it anyway I could, from free advertising in my workplace, right down to volunteering to 'educate' the public about the sport on TV for free.

I even tried to get the field operator interested in trying to raise some money to do a weekend exhibition game in town so as to generate interest and publicity for the game, but the field operator wasn't really too keen. For one, he said it was too expensive and the Police might object...I think it was something else but that's just the sentiment shared by me and the rest of the team...Oh well.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I hope they one day amend the laws that will allow you to take up the sport again. It sounds like you have love for a game that many of us here in the states take for granted. Makes you think, huh?

PS How much for the mag?

Citizenship

Residents of the United States can be aliens, nationals, or citizens. Aliens are people who have emigrated from a foreign country. They have some of the same freedoms and legal rights as U.S. citizens, but they cannot vote in elections. American nationals are natives of American territorial possessions. They have all the legal protections which citizens have, but they do not have the full political rights of U.S. citizens. Persons born in the U.S. or born to U.S. citizens in foreign countries are automatically citizens of the United States. Persons born in other countries who want to become citizens must apply for and pass a citizenship test. Those who become citizens in this manner are naturalized citizens.

All American citizens enjoy the freedoms, protections, and legal rights which the Constitution promises.

Here is a website to find out how to become "Naturalized".
