Answer 1

Star for you.

*sigh*, I see that some people still have their humor-reflectors on.

Answer 2

Do Born-Again Christians get issued new birth certificates?

Answer 3

Birth certificates are proof to man of our time of birth. I would be more concerned with your social security number, and the possible addition of three like digits in the coming times.

Answer 4

In reality, no one can prove that they are here. All evidence can be made up. I saw President John F. Kennedy being murdered. I am an eye witness however, now it is only written down in a book and I can not prove that I was there.

Your point is correct.

Answer 5

Fun story. OK, not exactly fun, but it does demonstrate the usefulness of birth certificates.

Long story short: my dad had two kids with his mistress. He ended his relationship with her after 18 years. But his mistress was a cruel and greedy woman. To get revenge on my dad for ending their relationship, she had his rights terminated on the eldest of their children. His name was removed from the birth certificate.

A few months later, she filed for child support from my dad. But since she had his rights terminated, she could only get support for one of the kids. She fought it in court. She was fighting her own stupidity in court.

It's amazing what kind of power a little piece of paper can wield.

Answer 6

So that the government can know when your born, when your old enough to register for draft or what ever they use now. when your old enough to draw social security, statistically speaking , It's your proof your a citizen.Identifies you as who you are and who your parents were, etc. Oh, and gives you ID to get your ID. Had ta throw that in.

Answer 7

Answer 8

There help to continue our existence... for if we become friendless and no longer believe in ourselves we would cease to exist unless there was a document saying that we do exist. Our existence must be maintained so that we can be taxed.

Answer 9

The Uniform Commercial Code is the law of sales and commercial transactions. Berth means arrival or come into dock. A certificate of manifest is the law of the high seas to show port authorities the contents of the cargo to show identity and value. You come out of your mothers water, you are now a corporately owned item or "human resource".
December 23, 1913 congress signed the Federal Reserve Act (Bank of London) for a loan and World War I, 1914 put us into bankruptcy. 1933, Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act which he pledged "warehouse receipts", people as collateral against loans and municipal bonds with the Federal Reserve Bank. "Full Faith and Credit"= labor to pay back debt. The bank bought our government and now it's putting private owners out of business so as to control the land, the waters, the people and any other asset.The certificate of equity matures on the 18th birthday.
I'm a full time law student and would like to explain this issue. You can research for yourself in further detail because my book is not complete. We are ignorant to law and history because we've been distracted with gadgets and pleasures. Caesar of Rome established the law under the Roman Catholic Church in the Vatican because the birth of Jesus eluded them. Then came the German Nazi concept of who is this person and how much money can they make for the New World Order. See Holocaust also.
This is an unconscionable contract! Among other charges to be brought against the government is undue influence, abuse of position, abuse of process, FRAUD or theft.

"Ok buddy...prove that you're dead.....I don't believe you" (as I'm poking him with a stick)
