Welcome to Anerica

What do you mean? Are you being sarcastic? I don't get it. I was born here in America. I was just pointing out an historical example similar to what we are facing today. They were human beings 2000 years ago in Rome. (I guess "Welcome to the 21st century, too"?) We are human beings today. Human nature doesn't really change in space and time, even in 2000 years.

Things have changed in America, haven't they? Things changed in Rome too. I think we're living through the same type of thing Rome experience at the end of the 4th century - nearing the end. Too many people are preoccupied with porn, sports, and rap to notice what's being taken from them - their freedom.

That's right. Bread and Circus mentality. Americans care more about what movie is coming out this weekend than the safety and future of America. They blindly put their trust in our govt - when it should be in God. True freedom does not mean "licentiousness" - it means freedom to do good - pursuit of happiness within moral bounds. Root of problem - no morality.
