Luckly not all americans are totally stupid, about 49%. But religion sure dictates what goes on here, that and corporations of course.

Then again, I do have a good laugh about those "dumb" things that are going on in the USA. Then again, a country that votes a movie-star for president and a terminator as governor doesn't seem to care much about intelligence, but just about appearances. As long as things appear to be okay, there's no problem. No matter what's going wrong all the time, just cover it up and keep quiet about it.
Things like teen pregnancies, for example. Sure, abstinence would prevent those but teens have these raging hormones in their bodies (believe me, I know about them) that will just force them to choose a different path sooner or later. And with no proper education about other birth control methods or safe sex, it's no wonder that there are that many teenage mothers in the USA...
Or gun control... Kids just go to school armed to the teeth, shoot anyone that moves and shoot them again if they keep moving before they kill themselves when the police arrives. Snipers in the big city using life targets to practice their skills. Parents shooting their children because the child comes home late and they think it's a burglar. Or my favorite: people shooting their own feet because they thought the gun was not loaded. Yet no one dares to even mention that these things would not happen if there was much better gun control.
Or the Janet Jackson incident. So she did show her tit in public, big deal. You didn't even see a nipple because that part was still covered up. No one here would even get excited about it yet in the USA they are already giving huge fines to the broadcasting companies and they're considering even further steps. As if a bare breast is such a big a deal.<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region> was not always like this. Overall <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region> is the best place to live and invest in, even though there are some crazy things going on. These crazy and absurd things are because of the new religious movements in which the Christian fundamentalists are trying to takeover and integrate religion and state to reflect their “moral” values. It’s so absurd that I read a survey that 67% of Americans (in the survey) believe in the bibles account of human creation over evolution.
