ORIGINAL: tracydolls quote:
Yes. There are subcultures. For example; Latino, West Indian, Native American, African American. Yet, as a whole, they make up the American Culture. For example; dress, the music we listen to, the shows and movies we promote, cheese burgers and pizza delivery. Etc. That's the super-culture. Europe is a super-culture made of of many subcultures, or countries really. There's Italy, France, Britain, etc. And I do think America is great. My father just came from South Africa this month. And you hear it from a number of people that travel abroad. America may not be at her best, but she is still better than most. Look at what's going on in China. OUr worse problem is our own arrogance. Even about our own economy. Yes, we've "fallen" far from our Christian value. But you have to realize what immigration has done. It's only natural the more you dilute, the less potent the original ingredients will be. AS people from all walks of life continue to flock here, chances are they will not bring with them strong protestant Christian values. Ok. Do you think America is Babylon in the Bible? What Christian value did America fall from? That's what most of the Europeans in U.S are complaining about--the subcultures. I don't think America is Bablyon in the Bible. Countries will rise and fall. As far as falling from our previous held values, I do feel that America has forgotten how important, family, marriage, and faith is. We used to be a society with tight knit communities. OUr children didn't do anything and everything they wished. People weren't always ready to sue. God is schools and government never used to offend anyone. Now you can get kicked out of school for wearing a Jesus t-shirt. That's what I mean. The founding fathers knew how important faith was and you can see it in the early documents.
