I -really- wanted to discuss this and the latter social topics brought up but to be frank all the piss-on-the-U.S.A. potshots just kills it for me. This country has problems, I tried to start that dialogue earlier on in the thread, but it wasn't a concept of "We have it better" or "They have it better". I believe it is a cultural epidemic that will persist and propagate throughout the world in the years to come regardless of what political group is in power or the basic structure of that government. Again, potshots at particular political groups and schools of logic seem below the standards of this forum. And while trying to formulate my response I just kept feeling the need to address them, and quite frankly I refuse to stoop to the level of insulting everyone from {insert country} or {insert political party} just to get a rise out of people or simply for entertainment.
I also refuse to use direct personal attacks as it is not only against MR rules but I also feel that everyone in here right now, regardless of the temperment of the discussion, are intelligent and thoughtful people.
People obviously can disagree, even heatedly, and can discuss problems they feel are relevent but I think it can be done without the above mentioned tactics.
