>>What I'm suggesting is that person B might be happier elsewhere. It's no different from suggesting that a friend who is not crazy about his job or his wife might want to seek out happiness elsewhere. I think one being forced and the other being voluntary and one being rejected and the other seeking happiness are meaningful distinctions.<<

Karen -

I'm sorry, but I'm too stuck on the importance of nuance to let this one slide. You first said that a person who doesn't love this country should leave it. Then you said they should leave it as a matter of conscience. Now you're saying they might be happier elsewhere. I see different meanings in all three statements.

What you're saying now is very different from "love it or leave it", but what you said originally isn't.
