OK I'm curious...
What is just an honest to God average American?
How does that make you any different than say, just an honest to God average Englishman? Or just an average honest to God average lamb.
Why do you think you're just average?
Does it make you feel more comfortable believing you are the same as most other people?
Do you try to be average?
Do you except what the average person believes, and if so why would you do that?
Do you respect God enough to believe His name should be capitalised? Do you believe America is above God? Or anyone else?
Thanx...

Very well said, and so true.
I don't think the average person believes that?
...This shift, according to social historians, demographers and others studying the trends, will severely test the premise of the fabled melting pot, the idea, so central to national identity, that this country can transform people of every color and background into "one America."
Just as possible, they say, is that the nation will continue to fracture into many separate, disconnected communities with no shared sense of commonality or purpose. Or perhaps it will evolve into something in between, a pluralistic society that will hold on to some core ideas about citizenship and capitalism, but with little meaningful interaction among groups.

I think Iraq is being fought over oil and power to make rich, powerful, old. white men Richer and more powerful.
The upcoming election.... I would say our leaders are not elected but selected. Many Americans would disagree but many Americans do not understand the Electoral college process.
And no, I do not feel that the US should steal other nations resources and police the world. That only makes the world hate us and gets our soldiers killed.

LOL well you didn't really answer my questions, but that's OK.
So you've bought into the 'melting pot' BS. Do you really think America is the only country people emigrate to?

I sometimes read statements like the following and would like to know if they're generally agreed upon by the average American?
"The Superbowl is the biggest televised event in the world with the highest worldwide viewership"
and
"The US is the best country on Earth in all aspects."
