In the news

Its very difficult for British/Europeans not to come across as smarmy and 'know it all' when talking to Americans about gun crime. The US position is so alien to anyone outside that they'll never understand each other.

Unfortunately the inability to communicate extends beyond just guns.

I don't think it's that alien really. There are plenty of theocracies in which the majority defend a religious text as infallible, and live by them. It's just America has 2 such texts, the bible and the constitution.

Do you understand what a constitution is?

It's only in the mid 50's that they decided to put "One Nation under God" moving the "indivisble" away.

Odd how the Constitution changed.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
