This is the one single thing that I am trying to point out to you. I haven't been trying to do anything else.

You have argued with me but really avoided what I was saying to simply attack how I was saying it or to point out how I'm generalizing...which, as I said, I'm aware of. Others have cursed me and tried to belittle me. Everyone has this holier-than-thou attitude towards me- hilarious attitude for an atheist site, I might add. This is EXACTLY what I expected from a liberal crowd. So I do know something about liberals.
You are assuming that I am trying to belittle you. All I have been doing is trying to point out how you are generalising and making assumptions that are wrong while complaining about how people are doing the same about Texans.
ok. I get that. But you have completely ignored everything I've said, except to surf through it and copy/paste things to show I'm generalizing. Great. EVERYONE generalizes. I'm talking about the liberal situation in the US, which you are not a part of. Although I have spent time in your country, I don't know the politics, particularly. My statements may be way off mark for England, but I think they're spot-on for America.
Basically, when I saw that you folks maintained a royal family for no apparent reason I lost any interest in how you govern.
I'm of german descent. I spent every summer in Germany growing up. My family only spoke German on sundays. I have to disagree with you on quality of life. I would MUCH rather live here than in Germany, and I love the German people. The culture is so restrictive, they don't have freedom...I would feel smothered, and would probably wind up in jail.
Your impression of the US is incorrect. We don't have gun battles everywhere and mad-max style wastelands controlled by warlords, lol...in fact, the only places where you have a good chance of being shot are large LIBERAL RUN cities. This is a statistical fact.
Though we disagree, I like you- I like anyone who is passionate about their beliefs but doesn't resort to juvenile or violent behavior to make their point. Respect.
Things are a lot more like they used to be, than they are now.
