This is more than a little presumptive and slightly obtuse.
She moved from the airport terminal (Atlantic Station) into Decatur for exactly that very reason.
I will add that I think she has a VHS copy of the movie "1984" secretly hidden in a shoe box under her bed.

I am, but it's very difficult in today's America.

It's cool I guess.
Despite America's many many many MANY flaws, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
I'm proud to be from Oklahoma, as weird as that sounds. Moreso than America.

How'd you become a Bama fan?
Also, do you own a Yankees hat, or a Lakers jersey?

Because I go to school there?
OU was my second choice though, along with Clemson and USCe. quote:

Don't follow baseball, too slow and boring. And despite the fact the Kevin Durant is in my sig pic, Yeah I'm a Lakers fan.
My favorite team is the 49ers if that says anything.

I'd always dreamed of being an Uzbekistani, but those are the breaks. The U.S, is okay I guess--but it's no Uzbekistan.

My priorities are as follows:
God
Country
Family
"Brothers"
Self

No way in hell would I put God or Country before my family. That's insane and immoral. You could probably go to jail for it too

Really? So I take it you wouldn't go to war? Or give to Earthquake or disaster victims?
I'm not saying you're right or wrong.
Have you ever played team sports outside of High School?

I would probably switch Country for Family, but your list is what all Americans should strive for. It might help turn this country around.

I get what hes saying.
He's implingy that if there was a earthquake or hurricane, he'd be willing to save his family before he would save a complete stranger, despite them being an American. Nothing wrong with that, I think most people would.

I wouldn't send my son to war because "God" or "Country" said so.
I would not neglect my own family in any way to help my country. Family comes first.

We know, man. You bash the military and America every time one of these threads comes up. We get it

I have no issue with that. I don't agree with it, as it's a personal choice you have to face. But my issue with your first statement is to call me immoral. You admit to willing to break a law so that to me is immoral. The deliberately breaking a law if called to service.

Yes. I think there are plenty of examples of countries doing certain things better, but our individualism and freedom sets us apart.

You said you value your country more than your family. I fricking hate my country compared to my family. We could all move to Iceland and be totally fine. We would still have family and love. That's the best part of life. What if the country decides you need to kill one of your children? You'll do it?

If I am called to defend my country I would. If the Pope called me I would. I think you're being way to literal but that's why I asked the sports question.
I think you do not understand living by a code and what it means. Which is fine.
