ConfuciousMouse Ask: will America survive to reach 300th anniversary?

I don't think so.

I am from America and everything is based on money, no one has morals or values anymore.

It's all about fame and being rich.

The future of America (my age group) is full of bums.

Everyone is out having sex, drinking, doing drugs, not caring about anything but "seeming cool"

If we are the future of America, I believe that my generation is digging America's grave.

You're only focusing on the negative. Look on the bright side, just imagine how much history would be changed if the United States never existed. Think about all the people who changed history so much that were born in america. Think about all the inventions made by people born in America. All the influence America has had on other countries. All the good things America has done for other countries. How America has become a figure where everyone can express themself freely, without getting in trouble for it. And so on and so forth. Not so many nations can say all of that about their country. Sure, the United States has done some bad things and has contributed negatively to the world, but think of all the positive my country has done. I'm proud to be born here. Judging from the points you have made, you aren't from America, so you can't just be so sure that you know what it's really like. I'll just leave that at that, so you can look into all the good the USA has done by yourself.

if u ask me most of europe is already at this point. we give the most humanitarian aide than any other country in the world and even more than the entire EU which is why confucious' humanitarian compassion theory is wrong. a lot of us do think we're entitled to everything we want. we are a gluttonous energy user about as much as the EU but we do produce alot of our own energy which i cant say the same for the EU. we have 300,000,000 ppl almost as much as the EU and russia has the highest murder rate, we just have more murders because we're twice their size in population. we are divided politically (conservatives vs liberals) some people think the government should cradle them but that is what the socialist EU governments do. the EU gov's have extensive welfare, free heatlh care, economic clench, etc. but we are shifting in that direction. ALSO the reason this same thing isnt being said for the EU is because they are not the world power and hating on the USA is the new "cool" thing to do just like hating on the brits years ago was "cool." i also agree with p.h. to a point. i give my country to its 400 birthday at least because i do not see it falling apart any time soon

Every civilization fails at some point. The way things are going it very well could fail.

We are morally poor as well, have lost our desire to be upright, honest people, youth are spoiled to the point that they will commit crimes in order to get their way. Mama needs to go home and stay home.

ConfusciousMouse: You take a country that is doing pretty well and it gives itself licensure to kill it's own unborn children and that country begins to go downhill and rolls faster every unborn baby killed, because murder does not please God.

China is doing the same thing.

This is what Mother Teresa said about abortion. She is who most consider to be a modern example of what a good person should strive to be:http://www.gargaro.com/mother_teresa/quotes.html
