Is civil discourse dead in American society?

Good question,

For everyone no, but for the majority of Americans yes. When it comes to the people vs the government, yes, it's been dead.

The presidential oath says "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

For the last 20 years we havent had a president to uphold this statement at all. In fact our liberties are disappearing before our eyes, and when people try a civil discourse, people get ignored. America wont have another revolution, everyones too busy going to work.

It would not take a rocket scientist to verify the final age of those in this internet site is probable 14. every time any question comes up approximately an era, the farthest returned everybody is going is the ninety's. i'm 40 8 and am having a stressful time understanding why a number of those infants have the time on their palms that they do AND the lack of ability of supervision whilst surfing! it particularly is in simple terms too undesirable that somebody from different than our us of a sees this as how usa particularly is. this is Yahoo, I pray no longer the country as an entire.

I see you been watching the debates between Obama and Hillary. Obama is still civil. One out of two is one out of two.

Not if you're a Ron Paul supporter!

it ought to be dead. crimes such as the theft of a presidential election, followed by the theft of hundreds of billions of dollars should not be tolerated in any way
