I asked you what you thought our problem was and you said intolerance, didn't you? Or am I going insane... Quote:
Well like I said...I don't agree with this war. Quote:
Quite a bit actually. Unlike %99 of Americans, I knew who Osama Bin Laden was BEFORE 9/11... Quote:
Most Middle Eastern countries do. Quote:
But we created society. How do you know society isn't a problem to begin with? Quote:
I can't list every social right I think we deserve. I think we all need to be able live as those created in the image of God should live. But that comes from my religious beliefs. If I had no religious beliefs, I probably would not be able to talk about what I "believe" about social problems. |

I disagree. I think the elecetion of Bush again came from a total lack of a countering candidate (Kerry? please.), and the thought that Bush would never be able to marshall support for another war, and the fact that Kerry supported this war to begin with too! So I think Bush getting elected again was not the result of people's happiness with the war but with a lack of a better candidate. Quote:
Well if one believes, abortion, contraception, engaging in homosexuality etc. etc. are wrong, certainly one could think that the U.S.A. is too tolerant? The world for that matter. |

You are probably going insane.. (jk)...because when I wrote WE --I was clearly considering the human beings as a whole....I didnt say especifically 'Americans'...sorry if you didnt catch it...:rolleyes: Quote:
Well...this is why I love you!! ;) Quote:
So you are helping me to confirming my theory...americans know nothing about what is 'outside america'... Quote:
And most of the Western countries want it...;) Quote:
I dont know if its a problem..proabably is... .but we live in society...so we need to live using and respecting rules and having socual rights... Quote:
You know that I dont have ' religious beliefs' ..hum..like you...right? but I still belive in social rights and Im sure Im able to talk about them...why not? See ...you are being intolerant...:rolleyes: |

Ah I see. Sorry for my misunderstanding. Quote:
Only because of my political views? Doesn't this make you intolerant of those who don't have my views? lol jk Quote:
No no no, you don't geti it. Americans don't know anything PERIOD!!! Inn a poll conducted the other day, only 1 in a thousand people even knew what five rights the first ammendment to the Constitution gives them. tons of people thought one of the rights was the right to own a pet! The vast majority of americans, thanks to this pathetic excuse for a school system we have, are totally lacking in knowledge. Quote:
Yeah. Well, one thing I DID agree with Bush on is that we are addicted to oil. Quote:
If society is a problem shouldn't we fix it or get rid of it and make something new instead of just dealing with it? Quote:
Well you may have a few beliefs but where do they come from? Quote:
I'm very tolerant of those in error. I know they are in error and won't compromise on that, but I do not persecute them for it. |

Re: "Americans kill dozens of prisoners"
Ana & Stephen: I think you'uns (that is evidently an Ozark word indicating the plural "you") are at odds over the issue of intolerance simply because you're discussing different kinds of intolerance. Socially speaking, the majority of America is rather tolerant. Watching MTV or Bravo or HBO for a couple of hours will dispell any myths that we aren't. Yes, there are those, such as the KKK, who aren't particularly open to social change, but American culture, as a whole, allows for just about anything.
Politically speaking, however, President Bush at least conveys an image of intolerance. The Bush Doctrine--"you're either with us or you're against us"--is quite apparently intolerant of opposition. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the whole American political system is intolerant. It has adapted substantially over the years to changing social circumstance, so I don't see any reason why it will in the future. It just seems that some politicians, such as Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rummy, Bush, etc., are stuck in a Cold War mentality. |

One slight disagreement... I don't think the majority of Republicans oppose the wire tapping. They way they look at it is if someone is receiving calls from certain terrorist hotbed regions of Afghanistan... then the government has the right to know who it is you're talking to. I think the majority of the nation still sides with Republicans on issues... especially with the surge of liberalism within the Democratic Party... and with the antics of people like Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Chucky Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi the Democrats are only hurting their chances. I honestly think the Republicans will wrap up the '08 election if John McCain runs... I don't think someone like Hillary Clinton stands a chance against him. |
