They aren't. It was started specifically because of Hogwart's. Fuck, the guy that started it is on my friend's list. Another person on my friend's list is trying to get the "Old School" added. This whole school thing has already turned into a farce ... and it's all the fault of those damn HP fanatics!
The Hogwarts thing pissed me right the hell off. While people were trying to get legitimate schools added, the LJ staffers were inundated with fictional bullshit.
It took two weeks to get the Gymnasium I attended in Germany added - they had too much fandom shit to wade through. Gods forbid something meant to be useful be left to actually BE useful.
My mother and/or father was/were born in Germany. Does this mean I can become a German citizen? The fact that your father and/or your mother was/were born in Germany is unfortunately not enough to attain German citizenship. Rather, your father and/or mother have to have been German citizens at the time of your birth. If you were born before 1 January 1975 and your parents were married, you only attained German citizenship if your father was German at the time of your birth or if your parents submitted a declaration by 31 December 1977 stating they wanted German citizenship for their child
That really isn't what I'm asking. Neither of my parents were German citizens at the time, so they probably wouldn't take me as a citizen outright, but I was born on German soil, not on American, due to the fact that Wiesbaden AFB only had a clinic, not a full hospital.
Then, again, do you want to live in this reality? I'd rather be annoyed by lame sillyness than nauseated every time the government starts trying to create a theocracy again. In fact, I'd be a lot happier if some of them were imaginary. Perhaps we should sic some sapient pearwood on them.
