Alright, There is this one book I found in my room(no idea what it was doing there) and I read it. It was called The Day America Told the Truth The thing was, the authors James Patterson and Peter Kim have utilized a way to get the absolute truth from americans.
They had listed 54 revelations and here, I'll list some. It might be shocking. _______________ 1. Woman are morally superior to men.
2. America is now at it all-time moral low.
3. Only 13% of Americans truly believe in the Ten Commandments
4. Young men are the main cause of violence in the U.S.A
5. Almost all americans would not mind having to pay much higher taxes to help stop Global Warming.
6. A mens revolution is brewing in response to the Woman's revolution. (I think this one is nonsense) _____________ Well folks, tell me what you people think about this.

They JUST caught on about this? I guess it would help people who aren't very bright to realize our country has flaws like any other. Morals worldwide are at an all-time low by the way.
As for the 10 commandments, I don't know some of their actual wordings, but I do remember them.
10. Thou shall not envy your neighbor 9. Thou shalt not steal 8. Thou shalt not commit adultry 7. Thou shalt not kill 6. Thou shalt honor thy mother and father 5. Thou shalt not hold gods name in vein 4. Thou shalt have no idols 3. Thou shalt not swear 2. Thou shalt not worship any gods before me. 1. I didn't remember this one.
I got 90% right, I guess that puts me above average.
While the book may generally be true, not every American is the same.

I agree with Magi. Its not like every other country is perfect. BTW, I can recite them in order without looking at a website or in the Bible. 1. I am the Lord your God. You shall not have any false gods beside me. 2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain. 3. Keep holy the Sabbath. 4. Honor thy father and mother. 5. Thou shalt not kill. 6. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 7. Thou shalt not steal. 8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. (You can't lie. ) 9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods. Fin.

We're are getting off topic.
It's not shocking really, but that's what the critics say but who listens to them?
But it's not that shocking.
[q]All-time moral low? How the hell do you measure that? [/q]
They compared it to the other years... I think, I can't remember.
And also Trance Rolin, I definately have to agree with you on the Men's revolution thing. It is crap.
And I do believe them since they had an appendix that was literally 50 pages long about how they got their information and their "Catartic Method" or something like that.
And your"Money griping not a very nice persons", are they regular citizens like you and me or are they normal people?
