Part of me thinks we would say "hey, we're the most powerful nation in the world" and they would go "wow! that's fantastic" part of me thinks they would respond "so... are we just?" I don't know how I would answer the ladder. | ||

I don't know how I would answer the ladder. You should re-balance the percentages to make divisions and T8/25/50 and 100 ranks more obviously separated by skill. And on topic, HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA! Almost 250 years ago, great men set out to test their compromises and theories as a solution to tyranny. That not only has this nation survived this long, but thrived and inspired other countries is a tremendous feat. No matter how cynical I get about our government or culture, I'll always love my country. On July 04 2013 14:55 lethal111 wrote: Well im not American!

"The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more." John Adams (yes, this is for the second of July, the day Congress decided on independence, but still applicable!) | ||

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." -Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863 | ||

Their brains would explode over cars, computers, internet, airplanes, 10000 types of beers and alcohol, having Alaska and Hawaii as a state, nuclear bombs, nuclear plants, etc. | ||
