I'm just asking because we STAY in disagreement on anything.

This country is going down the tubes and fast.

Folks cannot agree on anything.

Red-vs-Blue

Blacks-vs-Whites

Gay-vs-Straights

Tops-vs-Bottoms


It seems like we are destroying our own "home". But we seem to be so up in arms about "outsiders" coming in.

What gives.

Because one side thinks government can get us out of the mess we're in, the other believes the free market will. We will never agree as long as this fundamental difference is solved, which it won't. It's unrealistic to think we're ever going to agree on everything

Blacks-vs-WhitesThis isn't just an American issue

Gay-vs-StraightsNot my issue, so, maybe we agree, maybe not.

Tops-vs-BottomsI dunno????

Have you ever watched the Britt Parlament in action? LOL!

HUMANS do not, as a general rule know how to get along.

last time I checked, all the Americans I know were humans.

If you really think Rodney King has the answer to anything except misery and mayhem, your thread cannot be taken serious. One doesn't take safe driving lessons from a guy with high auto insurance rates.

If you look since the 60's american get alogn very well. look at the violence in many countries on issues.The fact that we so not accept what we don't agree with shows a strength that has alwasy been a american trait. Id much rather have people aguing than fightihng in the streets as we see i mso manyy countries.Free spoeech means more than just a slogan.Peple here are shocked when a senator crys Lier but that is pretty noraml in many countries governamnt meetings as the parlament commets says. Its often a shouting match to americans but the brits see it differently.Rodeny king last I saw was in drug rehb and isn't getting along very well it seems.

I'll never agree to the apparent liberal mantra of "Free Love For All, No Matter The Cost, No Matter The Consequence." In fact, I believe it is this very banner that has destroyed this nation. The only way to change course is to wholly and completely reverse the attitude that everyone deserves everything in this country. Contrary to liberal belief, everyone simply does not deserve everything. We can't afford it, and it's simply un-American to believe that Government is the key to all things good. Until we get rid of this destructive arc of liberal ideology, we will continue to implode until the USA is bankrupt.

So, to answer the OP, no, I will not get along with those who are hell bent on sinking this once-great nation of ours.
