I Am Not Sure What America Stands For Anymore

It's sad to see how fast this nation is unraveling all that people have died for.

You're an American. Act like it.

Exactly how does one act like an "American". America is supposed to stand for freedom. An American can act however they choose to.

@Tatsumi unless it disrupts ones life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness.
And maybe trying to take control of ones life may make you happy, but it's not right.
Violence isn't allowed even if you're allowed to act free.
Freedom does not allow you to act inhuman.
Freedom means practice of religion. Speech. Guns. Vote. Liberty.
BUT NOT TO THROW AWAY DECENT HUMAN ACTIONS.

@londonbr1dge Yes. But, freedom means more than that, to me. It means you can think whatever the hell you want and have whatever position you want.

Incidentally, where there are guns, there is increased homicide. Just a fact. That "freedom" impinges on other people's safety, doesn't it?
