I celebrate christmas...but I don't walk into a WalMart and yell at the manager because they have a "happy holidays" sign up. You know how much effort that takes to restrain myself? About as much effort as taking a shit. It's all about fairness. You say Amerika was founded on christian values...but we let in millions upon millions of non-christians and now we expect them to follow suit? Fuck that.
And for as much as you see me complain, you sure do like to complain about my complaining. Don't agree? Be the bigger man and let it go. Don't respond with non-sensical dribble that's about as easy to tear apart as a single piece of paper. Face it Rob...there's a reason you were banned before, and it's exactly because of shit like this.

You raise some good points. But America cannot allow itself to be altered. You have such a good melting pot situation, and to change that would let you become more like Canada. Which is not a good thing. I admire how America allows people from all over the world to call it home, but I admire more how its been able to keep its American culture. Thats not something you want to lose to quickly. If you want to know what I'm talking about travel north and spend sometime here.
Losing ones culture or watering it down isn't good. It tends to lead to less unity and ultimately creates alot more issues.
