Yes but there are some things that races have in common. But over all we all even out. Even if you take race out of it. Each group of people can't survive without the other group. We all have good things and bad thins. Over all we can either be good or bad. But by ourselves we are never very good at everything. I don't think it is race as much as culture. Just because you are black doesn't automatically make you think and act black. It's how you are raised. I think Race and culture are two commonly confused terms. I think you are correct. But still there are differences. I also think race and culture go together a lot.

I think you should read this thread back it does not show you in such a good light to be fair now........
I was going to stay out of this but I can't now;
why should you care what the foundders would think/ what are they to do with anything now ? And how would that help at all what was their accent like does it matter you are looking at all the wrong factors by jumping to race before your first line is the problem to get over it you all sound really bitter what's that all for he has not even been in long enough to tell anything surley? although saying that Our new spak in charge over here has been in for about 3 weeks and I already hate him well him and al the other people it could have been, nothing really changes from administration to administration really as the system and other people elected see that nothing of any note will go through

Nope I'd love you just as much ^.^ It's not obamas skin color, it's what his religion is really.... I truly believe he's still a Muslim, and america is a christain country :l * christian countrySo you dont like that he's Muslim? That's another kind of a prejudice act. (grammar check? Why can't prejudism be a word?) Also: the US is not a "christian" country. It's a country that's supposed to be open to all types of people, religions, colors etc. The Christian/Catholic religions are dominant, but they're not the countries religion. I think although Obama hasnt really done much, he's doing better than Bush ever could have. The guy was a jerk, and he did not know what he was doing imo.

The problem with Obama is the only stuff he has done totally hurt the country. Bush although i do agree most of the time he was bad at least tried to make the place better and protect us.

The shit in this thread makes me cry.
There's a lot I could go on but I'll just say this: America was founded on the idea of religious freedom. It is NOT a Christian country and several of the founding fathers stressed this fact. A lot of them were Deists, and Thomas Paine was a flat out Atheist. Thomas Jefferson ripped out all the pages from the Bible that he didn't agree with.
Seriously, who cares what religion a political leader is? They aren't supposed to be governing by it anyway. If you don't think someone should hold a political position because of their beliefs or lack of belief then you have no idea about what America stands for. America is for people of ALL religions and beliefs, so stop thinking that this is a Christian nation.

America is not a Christian country, if anything our government is completely non-secular and it should continue to be that way (if I had my way, we'd be extremely non-secular).
Now, has Obama done as much as he said he would? No he hasn't because people put such large obstacles in the way that it's extremely difficult to change anything that's already in place.
With all that being said, he was the better choice because we've seen more change and stability from his presidency than what a Republican would do in the presidency. If anything Obama was definitely the lesser of two evils because he was more in touch with the American people.

The problem with your theory Nightwalker is that the Taliban are guerilla fighters. You cannot just send in the troops. The Taliban will just melt back in with the villagers until the troops leave. It is much like Vietnam. America must follow certain laws and acts that the Guerillas do not have to follow. America cannot line 5 people up and shoot them and later find out that they shot one guerilla out of 5. Whereas the Taliban can line 5 people up and shoot them just to shoot them. The Taliban member will eventually die and he sees no reason why he should not continue to kill.
You cannot just pull the troops out because other countries will have a feild day. America attacked Afhganistan and destroyed the country. Not on purpose but the media has a funny way of not telling the truth. Yes America did help rebuild but the job is only half finished. You cannot invade a country, start to put it back together and then just leave before you are finished.
There really is not an easy way out of this for America.

I'm laughing at the "race" argument mainly. According to modern anthropology there is no such thing as a race. If you look at the DNA the division simply does not exist; its impossible too tell "black" DNA from "white". Which undermines the entire race argument thus causing me some lulz.
Also the section about how Obama hurt the economy. Last time I checked he was a political leader, not a stock broker and seeing as the economic crash was mostly caused by the unsustainable selling and buying based on "risk" I don't see how he could have foreseen/prevented/be involved with any of it.
