If an American were to marry a Brit what would happen to their citizenship if they got divorced?

Nothing, you don't automatically become a citizen of the other person's country because you marry them, there's a whole of legal hoops to jump through first. It can takes years to gain citizenship of the UK. For a spouse to gain citizenship in the UK, they must be legally resident in the UK for a minimum of 3 years then apply Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), once ILR is granted you must wait a year before you can apply for citizenship by naturalisation. In theory once ILR has been granted you could divorce, you could even separate during the period leading up to applying to ILR but you would need to satisfy immigration authorities that the marriage was genuine - if the split is acrimonious & the British citizen decides not play ball there won't be an issue around citizenship. Generally speaking once citizenship is granted it isn't usually revoked, unless it can be proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the marriage exists for the sole purpose of defrauding immigration & gaining residency for one or other of the spouses, in which case you'd both be in sh*t, presumably there are crimes which allow the authorities to strip a person of their citizenship & deport them back to their home country.

Would you rate Oakland CA as a top 11 city in the country?

You know Oakland, a poor Bay Area city, crappy schools, and the second highest crime rate in the Bay Area. That and CA's taxes.

How do I designate others to become moderators at our group site?

I ume you are the owner of that Group (because you must be to appoint moderators). If so, then log in to your Group's web site. Then click on Members on the left-hand side of the page. Then go through the list until you find the member that you want to promote to moderator. Just under this member's login name will be an Edit Membership link (pencil icon); click on it. Then click the Change To Moderator link down in the Membership Privileges section. Then, in the Moderator Privileges section towards the bottom of the screen, check each box that represents a privilege you want to give that moderator (it's common to give all the privileges in the left-hand column, but be very picky about which privileges in the right-hand column you give him/her). Don't forget to click the Make Moderator on (towards the lower-right-hand corner) when you're done.

Will the real barack obama stand up?

Obama's intentions are clear (and they are not honorable) - but the problem is, there is a mindset of pack mentality here among star-struck young voters, and largely black voters - who believe the Utopian Picture Obama is painting for vulnerable, easily manipulated voters. The Democratic party members have no choice but to "go with the flow"...........But there is more to come out about Obama to be sure - and the super delegates may just be giving up their opportunity for another chance at the White House. It will be McCain that prospers when the rest of the dirt is revealed. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot......

Dark Knight question?

Who exactly was responsible for putting Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes in the rooms with the explosive barrels? Was it the Joker or was it Sal Maroni? Did the people who picked up Harvery and Rachel (Wurtz and Rameriz) know what was going to happen to them? Were Wurtz and Rameriz working for the Joker?

Should I keep her as my friend?

Okay so I told my friend Leah I kinda act like a vampire (I hate the sun, I can play Beethoven on the piano without even learning it first, I'm a freaking super genius, I am pale and have black straight hair, and I can run scary fast and not get out of breath) and I told her not to tell anyone and she went and told all of the girls that I told her I am a vampire and I have fangs and all that crap.she kept saying I'm sooo sorry but now all of the girls are pissy at me and are talking crap about me. So I told Leah I hated her for doing that and I would never trust her again and I dont know what to do....
