Once you are a citizen, and if you get involved politically and you become a politican, right? Therefore, are you not considered to be a citizen anymore and have a "politican" status? Or would you have both statuses at same time?

uh. man, couldn't u wikipedia that. lol. u dont lose your citizenship when you become a politician, you are still considered a a citizen. if u are military you are no longer civilian. i think maybe that's what your getting confused about. even the president votes.

I know and I agree.

This is why it's a bit confusing, hence there's a big difference between a citizen and a politican.

If you were a politican, I don't think you could view yourself as a citizen, too...

^No, actually it doesn't make sense, unless you'd like to explain how so. Define citizen and politician then explain why becoming a politician exempts you from American citizenship.. Your question is (no offense) ridiculous really and you should know better...

Hmm, perhaps I got mixed up, none taken, I get you.

Citizen, from my view, would be a member of the society, thus when becoming a politican, you sort of gain the control of society and therefore you're not longer a citizen or a civilian...understand? (You can be still a citizen, but you get a V.I.P. bonus when politican)

I may also meant the purpose of being a civilian being ranked to a politican.

^In what way is a politician in "control" of society and how are they not a part of what they control even if that were the case?

See, that's the thing!

For example, some percentage of people say that Bush attacked America (planned 9/11, etc.) and would you consider him as a citizen for that? If this was the case, I guess would label him as the [I forgot the term, that's anti-social or something-like] corrupt citizen and a politican? Again, if this was the case, I wouldn't see him as a citizen, but more like anti-social or/and anti-american?

you are thinking about this while using the concepts in your mind for reference.
you need to go outside and watch humanity.

Anti-American doesn't equal non-citizen.. Just means that you are an unpatriotic citizen..

No.......

And yes, I know humanity.

I'm guessing that if I talked about this (I probably should) to a real politican, he or she would know what I'm talking about, so never mind then.

Thanks for the replies.

man, go wikipedia some philosophy, fire up the bong, and enjoy. it almost sounds like you are referring to a socialist theory, but in some <b>extremely</b> abstract and uninformed way. go read the communist manifesto and holla back. ;)
