This is, actually, an absurd opinion. Massive civilian casualties are inseparable from war, and you will be hard pressed to find a war without them.

The laws of war are built around, and exist because of, this assumption. They exist to give a framework that sets forth principles by which the loss of life can be evaluated.

Otherwise, by your definition, every warring faction ever is a war criminal.

But you'd also be giving their governments total control of all information, to the detriment of citizens and any possible organized resistance.

Omg what if it's a feature not a bug, a coded script as a defence against non Dr. Prescriptions.

The existence of legible doctors disproves it, but I enjoyed the thought enough to share.

We could run steam engines off overhead electric lines using a good old heating element.

Would it be efficient or practical (or safe)? No.

But it'd be SIICKKKKK

What happened to it? I never got around to play it. Is it dead?

Since it doesn't happen often, respect for choosing to share that you accepted a counterargument.

Many dual citizens pay double taxes in some way or another.

Also, some countries are vindictive towards those who renounce their citizenship and make it very hard for such persons to enter, which is a pretty big deal for anyone leaving friends and family behind.

Other countries don't allow for revoking citizenship whatsoever.

One reason to allow dual citizenship is to encourage immigration, especially of in-demand professionals who would otherwise be quite deterred by a one way ticket.

I don't agree with the thinking behind this, but note this cuts both ways - international agreements have many provisions to prevent statelessness.

So the state can now strip a dual citizen of their German citizenship, whereas before once someone chose German citizenship both the state and person are stuck with each other.
