US sides with Iran and N. Korea in record UN vote over the death penalty

10. The "true nature" of the USA is a mix of who-knows-what.

When we have such a mix of backgrounds and cultures, it is hard to broad-brush us as a country.

In states where the electoral votes go pretty much automatically to the "liberal" candidate, you have decriminalized/legalized MJ. You have some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. However, you also have propositions voting for the death penalty and against gay marrriage.....and this is just California.

Abortion is legal here and outlawed in parts of Europe.


When someone is dumb enough to start a sentence with "Americans all...", I believe it is as dumb as someone starting a sentence with "Europeans all..". You just know they have no idea as to the difference between cultures in Naples and Milan, let alone Zurich and Niece.
