What is America?

You are an idiot if you believe that.

Here's what happened:

1) Someone made the comment that all trolls type in lower case.

2) PR, a self admitted troll who previously typed with proper cases, suddenly began typing in all lower case, all the time, 100% of the time, and he hasn't typed with proper cases since that event.

3) Someone pointed out that he obviously did this as part of his trolling, because he thinks it's funny to give hints about it.

4) He made that statement.

Now, we objectively know that his statement is false, because he a) does it all the time, b) used to never do it, c) only started doing it when he thought it would make him seem more like a troll.

Why you would take anything he says at face value is beyond me.

please tell me more dr. lecter

sorry america was founded on both of those things

What the hell PR?

Why the hell is your example American shooting an animal only found in Africa and India?

As quintessentially American as shooting critters in the face is, I find it hard to believe that couldn't find a photo of an American shooting a proper American varmint, such as a timberwolf, white tailed deer, buffalo or ghetto-dwelling-minority. You're obviously trolling with that pic.

Never the less; I'd much rather be hunting along side Sara Palin than along side Dick Cheney.

Along side? I don't even want to be in shotgun range.

There are 2 America's.
Rural America
Urban America

With completely different sets of values and ideals.

I would argue that there are more than 2 Americas. Suburban America, for example, is significantly different from both Urban America and Rural America. In addition not all of these types are alike.

America is far too complex and diverse to define so easily.

Yeah so complex it requires a video

Urban, Suburban, Rural, Corporate, and the Silicon Valley cultures are the different major cultures I've seen. I used to divide them up by geographical region with exceptions (i.e. this area is surrounded by sub-culture A but is itself sub-culture B), but the exceptions have become so frequent that geographic divisions ended up being entirely useless. Silicon Valley is a holdover from that time, and I'm sure my model is still incomplete. But, yeah. America is complicated.
