Sure hit the nail on the head with that one Steve.

I'd say there have been plenty of social experiments in the last 200 years of American history ;-)

Who August?
Don't be so cruel to him, he can't help it, its the glasses.

Yes some have worked out better than others.

Some people have a lot of critics about USA while living in a country which sets a example on how you should not run things.
But again its USA to blame.

Frankly, there is no point in this statement.

And I would assume that's why the USA has such a major problem with illegal immigration?

Last I recall if you cross borders in places like, say, Iran?
You go to prison or are just given a lead present.
Roughly between the eyes.

I don't live next door to Iran so what they do? I don't care.
But if they want to be nasty to some Stupid American that crosses thier boarder?
Let's look at the math.
3 American Idiots versis God only knows how many Iraninan Idiots!

I'm not sure if it's legal?
But I'm thinking Ovens here.

Frankly, there is no point in this statement.

He has rather missed the point hasn't he.
It isn't the country it is the claim, its the same as if a Frenchman said it with his red white and blue glasses or a British or Norwegian, Thai, Russian, Serb, Dutch, Croat, Cuban or any other nation that red white and blue fits, its the same whatever the national colours are.

Just because you don't get the point doesn't mean there isn't one.

Just because you don't get the point doesn't mean there isn't one.

Yet you didn't get the point at all.

Don't you see that you just sank yourself with this comment? When you couldn't come up with anything else, you started to question and mock my intelligence. Really?

What MH wrote was clearly a patriotic statement. Thus, it was pointless. One cannot see the true state of things when one's vision and thoughts are filtered and obscured by patriotism and ignorance.

A few centuries ago, someone from this continent (?!) said that any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

At least they know they head toward their fall.

Mock your intelligence? Hardly. But you do seem overly sensitive on the subject. Do people often mock your intelligence?

Don't do that. You're better than that.

Is that your wishful thinking or analysis of situation?

Good one...actually i get paid to write pro American.
As far as freedom and way of life its a matter of taste for me.
I'm not American or EU.
