America is such garbage lol. You guys should really focus on the important stuff.
It's garbage because brainless rednecks voted in Trump and Republicans
while that was pretty fucking bad, let's not pretend it is the singular source of all evil.
Huh, almost like I didn't say it was perfect.
Did you think they can only be garbage or perfect and nothing else? Really?
Yes
Republicans existed before Trump. How can you fail to understand the basic concept of persistence? The Republicans that are still helping to screw up what Trump started were here before, also screwing things up. They didn't poof in to existence with Trump.
Stop pretending like anyone is saying it was unicorns and rainbows. A false dichotomy is patheticlly inept thinking skills on your part.
The republicans of the 50s are far different than those of the 80s and today. You don't expect everyone to have the exact same beliefs as you do you?
The person they were responding to specifically referenced Trump and modern Republicans. My point does not require Republicans having kept the same ideals throughout many decades of time. The 80's were almost half a damn century ago.
bipartisans think in absolutes, 2-dimensional mind
We're trying, but our government won't let us.
Please separate government and politicians and media. Plenty hard work happening in our agencies solving important issues. And of course then congress wakes up and just spews bullshit.
We’re trying, but our government won’t let us.
Its full of evangelical Christians. That and Anglo-Saxon culture even minus the evangelical Christians is very squeamish around sex. Just look at the different attitude towards talking to kids about sex that you find in the UK and on the Continent, even the Germanic countries tend to be a lot more open about this stuff than the UK.
That number has been shrinking for decades, while at the same time the christo-faccists are getting more pushy.
The Brits seem to have an obsession with pedophilia on par with the far-right in the US that you don't see in other countries.
It really is profoundly Anglo-Saxon (whether in Britain or the States). I really don't know why they're like that.
It's definitely not Anglo–Saxon as in "inherited from the Germanic tribes of Angles and Saxons", afaik medieval and early modern English society was quite open about sex.
After the Reformation, England bred or harboured quite a few fundamentalist Christian sects which had a huge impact on English and especially American society.
Yes, you are right. I meant Anglo-Saxon in a more colloquial sense
It drives me insane.
Pornhub is Canadian actually
And they're doing nothing wrong.
Texas, the American State, is wrong.
And that's how we hope the case will go
They are doing many things wrong.
Texas is American.
Please stop saying that out loud.
Dude you can't deny facts just 'cause they're uncomfortable. Texas is American.
I know it hurts, and I know it's hard, but you can't treat cancer by ignoring it. It can be cut out or medicated, but if you ignore it, it kills you.
They're the ones that keep talking about how they used to not be America and "threatening" to secede.
At this point I'm not sure we shouldn't kick them out.
Maybe give the land back to Mexico?
I'm not sure Mexico would want it, what with all the Texans running around on it...
(To all my lefty/socialist friends in Texas, I apologize if this is offensive. Also, living in Iowa, it's not like I have a lot of room to talk...)
But isn't Texas 'Merican?
