The fact that no matter who you are or where you come from, you can become anything you want with hard work and faith.

What does faith have to do with anything?

I don't really buy into the whole you can do whatever you want if you work hard enough thing, but I do buy that we are a beacon to the rest of the world, and that living in America, you get the best in entertainment, sport, a pretty good political system, and a public education through grade 12.

Faith has everything to do with it. Without faith I would be a Drug Addict, or dead right now.

If the best thing you can think of about america is entertainment, sports, and polotics, then i pitty you.

For you, faith may be crucial, but is not for everyone. Make the distinction.

In America you have more opportunities than anyone anywhere else. We still have work to do, making sure everyone has an equal opportunity, but I'd say, compared to most other countries, we are far along. With diversity comes more options, more types of work, and it is the matter of choice that makes America special.

Faith does not necessarily have to be in the existence of God, GWB.

I think Akno is misconstruing what he said to mean having faith in a god.   You can have faith simply in believing you will succeed.

I think GWB means in the God form.

Why do you love Canada?

Oh yeah, kinda an off-topic question, but do you (a Canadian) lock your doors at your house?

Violent video games are banned
Porn is legal and freely available
There is no draft
We have cheap postage rates
It's really easy to find rare collector vinyl and indie film DVDs here

Thank you, Nation of Ulysses - I was having trouble thinking of anything..

Man, you make me sick sometimes. I'm glad you left the country, you don't deserve the freedoms that men like Washington and Lincoln established. "I can't tjink of one" the lame excuse I hear everyday from anti-Am,ericans who say that we are not a "free" people because we can't smoke marijuana and take dangerous narcotics until we blow our minds so much we can't think or screw everyone in sight without being thrown in prison. You and BRTD make me sick. How dare you accuse our nation of not beeing free. Perhaps you would rather live in China or North Korea, where they have no freedom, but they have 100% totalitarian rule. You complain we don't have 100% freedom, so just take the nation that has the complete set of a government.

The day is coming when you and your anti-American and anti-Religion groups will have to answer before the lord Jesus Christ your sins, and I hope you are ready for it opebo, because I would not want to spend an eternity from God where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

You had me on the first paragraph, then you kinda lost me. So you think Anthony Romero (ACLU director) is going to hell, along with perfectly decent people like nclib, and people who may not want christianity draping from the courts or want to smoke pot for medical purposes? You think every liberal is going to hell?

No nation is totally free PBrunsel, and I am thankful for that. Both economic conservatives and social liberals will give very convincing arguments that we are no where close to being free.
