A country is either born an abomination, or becomes an abomination by its own doing.
America is both.
Though as I have said before, America will live for at least a while longer.
America has a number of cancerous tumors within itself, who will eat the country inside out. And well, if it won't be treated with some serious Chemotherapy, America will eventually succumb to the cancer. Right now, its being given morphine to dull the pain that the growths cause.

Hmmm, I didn't ask for a reiteration of your opinion of America. So let me try this again:
Why was America born an abomination?

He's probably going to say something like we lost our nationalistic feeling toward our mother country, England. He seems to hold that nationalistic crap in high regard.
We're a nation of rebellious people. I can see how he would think that cancerous.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.

I'm sure the US is an abomination to many arab nations, but I don't think he's going to be able to produce a legitimate answer to my question regarding his claim that we were BORN an abomination.

Why was America born an abomination? The fact that America lacks a common identity that the country is based on is enough I'd say. Tax-evasion, the reason for the war of independence of America.

I'd say you're quite the conformists when things are going your way. The only time you rebel is when you are taxed a bit more than usual, or when you're taxed at all.

No, its not about that, so did the Irish. But Ireland is a nation that is united under a common heritage, history and culture, albeit they lost their language, they successfully resisted assimilation mainly because of their lasting faith and love for their roots.

As long as they have political power, you kinda gotta listen to them. It makes actually dealing with them a lot easier.
Unfortunately, as much as they talk about cutting spending and reducing the debt, whenever there's a Republican in the white house, they never actually do it. Regan didn't reduce spending and the GOP damn near worships him. Dubya really didn't reduce spending and he's also the one who insisted on the bail-outs, being the first to use the line "to big to fail." It would be nice if they actually cared enough about the debt or cutting spending to eliminate some of these wasteful government subsidies for oil companies or defense contracts to build tanks and let them just sit in storage.

Republicans/Democrats, neither holds the moral high ground and both parties are completely corrupt. I do not have the words to express the disdain I have for those who believe that their elected official is somehow more ethical and benevolent than the other. Horseshit! We should stop fighting each other and deal with the real fucking problem: We have a criminal government.

Hilarious. You are joking right?? I mean I assume that you're joking because only an ignoramus would make such a comment with sincere intention. Seriously, this response is so stupid I'm reasonably sure that no one here even needs to read an explanation of why this is such a stupid response.
