Fischer's Theory goes on to say that instead of being a uniformed culture, the US is actually a country of subcultures. He is basically making the exact same point I am making....

Fischer

And in case you don't know who David Fischer is, seeing you can't seem to "find" anything on the internet that talks about what I am talking about, here is a starter link for you to learn about David Fischer.

So you seem to think my culture and your culture is the same national culture and language?

No i don't feel like a stranger. Most of the "strangeness" people feel is because they don't realize that other races have more or less the same basic desires. People like to think other races are so different because of what they hear from stereotypes, media etc that they refuse to even try to communicate to others. Open your view. Talk to people.

Do you feel like a stranger in your country?
I feel like my country has been stolen from my children and grandchildren. I feel like my grandchildren will have to fight a civil war if they want the American dream.

Are you or are you not having this conversation with Old Glory in the same language, American English? And if you say there's no such thing as American English I'll know you're lying through your English-speaking teeth.

What exactly has been stolen from your children and grandchildren that they would have to fight a war to regain? That just sounds extreme.

We are typing in English, that is a language that comes from England. American English is a type of dialect, when spoken in the US, it varies from region to region.

This country was founded by Christian Pilgrims fleeing religious persecution from Europe. Now we are importing all the religious persecution from the world plus half of our own people have lost their faith because of easy living and wealth. Now we are bringing these Islamic nuts in to fill the vacuum left by atheism and people who just don't care about God anymore.

The downfall of this country will be these Muslim immigrants. I have no idea what it will look like in 50 years but IMO it will not be pretty.,
