Default OUR COUNTRY - 03-14-2003, 01:40 PM

i read a lot of posts by people from other countries. mostly i respect their opinions and their right to have and share them with others.i try to ignore the jackasses who bash our country in a lame effert to start a flame war or whatever. so for all you people who dont live in this country i submit this to you so youll see what i think is the way most americans feel about the current state of this country.

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multi cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!

"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.

If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a m! ove to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every! citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

WTF? you're talking like religion is one of this country's merits, in fact it's more of a problem, too many self-righteous shits (john asscroft) are trying to push their idea of "morality" on the rest of us

Well, when you have a country that espouses religious freedom(400+ recognized denominations)religion can be a "problem". If you are receptive to it, fine. If not, so be it.

true-but American colonies were founded on christian values. I think everyone should have a right to religion, but they shouldnt sew people who say things about how good jesus is and stuff.

what I mean is that though I agree that people should be free to worships whatever they wish (including nothing/no one ) we would be better off if religion didn't make people stupid

(ever see the nuts who are camped out at the movie theaters for days to protest the Force when episode 2 came out? surely these people could be contributing to our society instead of standing there yelling "george lucas is teh devil")

not morals, "morals" (for example Ashcroft seems to have nothing against the government acting like big brother, but heaven forbid abortion being legal)

also it's "moral" to force a person who was a victim of a violent crime to live their life paralyzed, but it is "immoral" to do stem cell research which may very well grow the demaged nerves back.

i disagree with you. it dont matter how or where you grew up. i believe every person in the world knows the difference in right and wrong. we make decissions every day based on the morals we have. cheat on your wife or girlfriend/ you know its not right. see someone who needs help/and choose not to help/ take something that dont belong to you/ rob / steal / cheat / when people do these things they know while their doin it its morally wrong. but they do it anyway. they understand full well what their doin and know its morally wrong to do it. those people have no marals but they know the meaning of the word all the same.

yes they do, but I never said religion should be banned, I just said that it does more harm than good.
But to me my freedom is more important than the lack of nutcases, so whatever, if they like acting like fools, more power to them.

Religion is not a bad concept, it keeps the simple people in line. It's those christian fundamentalists that give me heebie-jeebies.
