Looks like Sweden is winning the poll. Hmmmm... Demographically, Sweden is a much more homogeneous country than the U.S.

Liberals, how do you plan on making the U.S. population more homogeneous? (That means how do you plan on making the U.S. much less diverse?)

I don't want America to be any other nation but I would love for us to see what some countries are doing right, and what some countries are doing wrong and apply it to our nation. I don't want us to be like China yet I admire the financial state of the nation no matter how much people hope China will fall, I don't want us to be like Norway but admire the Norway Pension Fund, I don't want us to be like Afganistan yet there national oil program is genius, and I could go on about what I think would be great in America but that doesn't mean I want us to become those nations. America has done well with capitalism and I'm sure a nation such as North Korea would like to apply it to there nation if they weren't stuck in Cold War era politics.

So because I do like what other nations have done, I'm un-American, less patriotic, etc? No, I just know thier is plenty room for improvement in our nation but it must start with our citizens first.

This is the kind of nonsense that makes Conservatives look bad.

Swedes live a pretty good life and they invented melodic death metal. They're alright in my book.

Default Liberals: Which country do you want to become?

The one that's dedicated to liberty and justice for all. Not the one that's dedicated to corporate agendas and robotic consumerism.

Every country on that list is more homogeneous than the US.

I just got back from a couple weeks in Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Sweden, Finland). They were really, really nice. Very clean cities, very happy & friendly people, and really nice amenities. Expensive as heck for someone traveling on the US dollar, but still very enjoyable.

All these countries are routinely voted some of the happiest countries in the world, so they must be doing something right for their people.

That said, I don't want to be those countries...too much snow, and not enough daylight in the winter
