First you acknowledge that there is evolution in cultures that is different in different parts of the world.
Then you acknowledge that this difference has created potentially beneficial "American" qualities.
Then you acknowledge that these qualities could be used to make America the "best place on earth."
Thus, you believe in the possibility of countries becoming exceptional as a result of evolution that has taken place more-so within it than other places.
:roll:
More so than other places? Really. When did I say that?
On the contrary, I think that developing that particular advantage without any real maturity on the part of the culture actually has a better chance of going south. I think I'm playing losing odds. But I could still be wrong, and with enough motivation, I could definitely be wrong.
Furthermore, just about any society could be argued to have certain paths to success. America is not unique in that way. And what I actually said is that it has those particular qualities more so than any place I have personally been to. I did not say it was "better" or even that it had more potential.
Once again, you just ignore what I say to make it convenient to you. It's the only way you can even pretend to respond, isn't it.
