Its not a competition. For Americans to live happy prosperous lives you don't need to crush everyone else.

As for the 'give them their freedoms if it means we can make money from them' idea, it sounds like you think they are animals that you give some comforts to so that you can get more production out of them!

I'm sure that's not what you think or meant, but it sure does sound like you've got some pretty extreme ideas germinating in your head.
Not quite, although my statements can admittedly be easily misunderstood. It's not that I don't like the gays, despite their flaws I still like most people in general, although I won't ignore certain aspects of them, most times it has no affect on my friendliness. I'm no biggot, I have my opinions but I am not so pretentious that I'd attempt to save anyone from what I believe is wrong, or persecute them for being the way they are.

I don't have a problem with them doing what they want as long as they aren't impacting anyone else, and with alternate lifestyle homes cranking out kids over a few decades they will. It's unnatural, and I don't believe people who live like this should raise a child without proper psychological studies assuring the child won't be damaged. Of course the problem there is getting a test subject. They're better left in a home until a proper home is found. (note: That doesn't include some of the good for nothing abusive parents I've heard stories about. I will yield to the idea that a child is better off with potentially having a social disorder then bruised to hell, emotionally scarred, or dead. Having seen the places they live, I'd say they should stay in the government home until a suitable family environment is found.)

I don't remember saying anything about breeding a super race, what I want for America is to have a healthy and strong populace. As I said earlier, I think economic and social ruin is a far greater threat to America then any power you could ever wield in your hand. My point is that with growing problems in these areas, 60% of our populace being overweight, and an unknown number of people with emotional problems, I find it disturbing people would be throwing gas on the fire.

I'd look silly wishing for a continual increase of obesity and mental instablity wouldn't I? These are two things we as a nation could fix, as an individual it's not hard to eat well and exercise so your blood sugar doesn't turn you into a sluggish lazy blob at work. Mental stablity is another story, we have got to start raising our kids better, and if you don't, pass a law that allows me to hit your unruly children. Speaking of rules, where have they gone? Authority figures? Punishment? It's a joke, they aren't going to be ready for jack with all this PC "everyone wins" musical chairs and "Hey, go knock that guys stuff over and scream all day while I threaten to do something, but I actually won't because I'm too lazy, and I bet you know it" crap I sat through at the mall.

I want my country to have a good stance towards a variety of types of health for what I think is a good reason, I want people to pull their own weight, so America can prosper, and I can prosper along with it. The thing about it is this is a competition, our society is based around competition. Free enterprise has made us a lot of money, and I don't think we would have gone to the moon if we weren't racing the Russians. Things are good, but they can be better, and better is always better.
