I'm going to refine my definition here because it was -blam!- stupid and you all know it. I think an American is someone who believes in the ideals set forth by the founding fathers. It is not this commercialized, corporate, dictatorship that is presiding over the people of America now. It is all the ideals of freedom, liberty and non-infringement upon others. Anyone who espouses these ideals is to me, a real American

I don't want to be a new age American anymore.

Huh, I didn't realize that to be a traditional, not bat-blam!- crazy American meant that you must believe the country is broken, wrong, and immoral.

Insofar as I consider myself human? Sure, yeah. I'm not really proud of it though, because I don't like to be proud of things beyond my control.

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

NOTE: This is my new primary account. My old account was AgentCOPP1, and I changed it because it was linked to a gamertag that I no longer use.

I don't think this country is wrong (what the hell could that mean anyway?), but I do think it's immoral.

I'm American, I'm proud to reside here, and I understand we are certainly in the frying pan in terms of economy, but I'm still living in the best country in the world.

The country you hail from is not who/what you are defined as. Actually, I'd go as far as too say that you define yourself.

Good job, Jimmy! You passed first grade! Now don't you feel good about yourself?!

Please leave. You offered nothing of substance.

Implying your thread is worthy enough of actual substance. You asked a simple yes or no question based on a some poorly conceived definition you made up in an attempt to indirectly insult the United States. Then when I pointed out how dumb this whole thing is, you tried to redeem yourself by making another poorly thought out insult instead of simply ignoring the post that had "no substance".

  • 01.06.2013 8:22 AM PDT

Of course I do

You're idealizing early America. In the days of the Founding Fathers, there were plenty of issues in the country that would have made you ashamed to be considered American: slavery, widespread chauvinism to the point of men having more legal power than women, gaping divides between rich and poor (this has never changed), ongoing genocide of Native Americans, etc.

The ongoing genocide of NA's? Don't act like we were the only ones with hostile native relations.

When did I imply anything like that?
