Matt and Luke: Ships Passing in the Night

[Angrboda]

Where was jesus born? bethlehem. Why isn't he known for being born there? let me ask if you parents were american but were posted or served in the army in japan and you were born in japan would that make you a japanese citizen? no You are still an american unless you parents defected to japan.

This is a matter of law, not convention. Japan is strictly jus sanguinis with respect to citizenship. The U.S. on the other hand, is not. A Japanese person born on U.S. soil would be an American by birth, not by blood.[*]

And thus your point falls with a deafening thud.

[*] I believe there are certain exceptions to this, but the point holds regardless.
