Replies rivedi Posted at 7:45 pm on July 2, 2009 Well, clearly there should be a solution to the angst of each American, though there is no logical reason one would expect there to be a single, individual solution to the angst of hundreds of millions of Americans, since they don't necessarily share any attribute other than hailing from America.

American is a demographic. Don't insult me for inaccuracies you need to edit out later, dude. I know happy Americans. Do you mean making the totality of Americans happy? That seems unlikely, as the only trait they have in common is being from the United States, so their criteria for happiness vary wildly. I made a typo. Nice job cherry picking my argument with two left out letters, jackass. I meant the totality. Hence referring to Americans, and not "People who live in Kansas" or whatever the fuck you thought of when you saw "America" rivedi Posted at 7:05 pm on July 2, 2009 Quote: from Mein Alias at 6:59 pm on July 2, 2009 I said American angst, you dumb-fucking-cunt.

Mein Alias Posted at 6:59 pm on July 2, 2009 Quote: from rivedi at 6:58 pm on July 2, 2009 "America" will never be happy because "America" is a country, not an individual. Nations don't have emotional states (or brains). Aiming to please groups of people rather than individual tends to lead to failure. I said American angst, you dumb-fucking-cunt.
