That character doesn't count!. Really, it is everything!. It trumps intelligence, experience (though it can be proven by experience), and is the only basis for trust!.

I've been trying to think of an answer to your second part, but honestly, I'm stumped!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i don't know this one is a toss up between lots of different ones!.

christianity is one!.

the american dream is another!.

racism is one!.

there are so many republicans feed their people!. like there are 'evil' people that must die!. and those people are probably saying the same thing over there!. both are lies and both are truths!.

you should vote for mccain is a big one!.

i noticed you are an american against socialism!. i think you suffer from believing a few lies you could do without!. but getting into that would be complicated and long, certainly you think i'm full of it, and you would perhpas think of cuba and vietnam, and north korea, and china and certainly and mostly the USSR as examples, though this would be partially in error and partially there would be much about these places i'm sure you don't know!. particularly that technically none of these places would be socialism as defined by karl marx that invented the term, but did not invent communism!. nor any specifics of socialism, but what he said of it, means it has not occurred yet!.

there are lots of lies about history as well!. americans governments have kind of a history of lying to their people and committing political stunts that would allow them to do things!. like allegedly 9/11!. more certainly how the war started in vietnam!. JFK!. Bay of pigs!.

I guess what hurts americans the most is simply the unneducated ones, the ones that have never travelled abroad!. *ahem* palin!. those that don't know history properly!. those that don't know that the greedy ones in power that seek wealth and power look to take advantage of them and exploit them!. this is the single most consistent historical trend of humanity!. things like your government allowing knowingly 9/11 to take place is not inconsistent with the types of things history has shown humanity does for greed!.

but quite honestly, i think the biggest one is christianity, because this is a platform whereby many other lies can be transmitted, and where bad people can gain political power!.

how you canget rid of that!? i have no idea!. it was designed expressedly to be difficult to eliminate this way, and designed specifically for minds that would not let go once they believe!. it exists because humans will believe it and not let it go!.

what do you think is the biggest lie hurting the islamist terrorists the most!? hmm same one!. isn't that funny!.!.!.!.

We are getting away from God!. We live in fear: We bear arms in our homes, we have the biggest military power, we fear of minorities, we fear of terrorist, we fear that our "proud" would be hurt, we fear of the Mexicans, Russians, Arabs, Colombians, NorthKoreans, Chinese People Etc!. And it seems to me that the majority of our fears are a response to abysmal Gap between God ans Us, becasue the further we get the weaker we get!.

IN GOD WE TRUSTWww@QuestionHome@Com

That capitalism is healthy
-- That money has intrinsic value
-- That capitalism is any less corrupted than communism

That we are a democracy

That prejudice is a dying, de-emphasized practice that society is doing away with!.
-- That prejudice is an unhealthy evil in and of itself
-- That we are all equally created with equal potential in all things
-- That legalizing equality proves how non-prejudiced we are
-- That policies that undermine prejudices are themselves non-prejudiced
-- That non-individualized pride, an affiliation for a group, is a virtue and not a foundation for prejudice!.
-- That the ethical need for social equality is sufficient basis to reject statistically and scientifically based stereotypes!.

That we actually own anything!.
-- That owning anything is desirable, in the first place

That resorting to the final desperate act of slapping a child for disciplinary purposes is just going too far!.

That blind tolerance is a good thing

That morality is subjective

That science necessarily rejects theism as a possibility
-- That science has proven religion a farce
-- That atheism necessarily affirms Gods non-existence
-- That keeping a closed-mind to the un-disproven God and asserting it as truth isnt bigoted, but rational and empirical at the same time

That Americans are rich because they have high rate of production not realizing that once US resources will be depleted there will be huge crisis again and USA will face yet another revolution far greater then the one in Russia in 1918 and its possible that America as we know it today will not exist, but change a lot!.
