[21:25] MinceR lucky bastard [21:25] IsambardPrince The court took the standard for transmission of US Citizenship from unmarried people to their children and changed it. [21:25] IsambardPrince MinceR, He was trying to stay in the US, and his parents were unmarried. [21:26] IsambardPrince Which made him a "bastard" in the literal sense of the word. And since he failed and ended up in Mexico, he was "unlucky". [21:26] IsambardPrince So he was an unlucky bastard.
