No one becomes a billionaire by being nice to others.

There's even a term for that: American civil religion

every american i know has never done that and nor do they worship it

I think this could extend beyond just the constitution and encompass American Pride in general. American Patriotism has become almost synonymous with under educated, rascist, homophobic, redneckasshole bible thumper.

They seriously need to do some upgrades. Ours (South Africa) permits LGTBQ+ marriage, for example, and abolishes death penalty.

Pt. III - Do I fly our national flag? Yes, I’m proud of my home and the opportunities it’s afforded me; I used to fly the Gadsden Flag until is was high-jacked by people who don’t understand its true meaning...unfortunately similar to the swastika that traces its roots to Native American and Indian traditions/symbolism. Constitution? I think it’s pretty cool...and dynamically adapted to changing times. Do I know it by heart? Admittedly not...but that doesn’t dismiss my respect for it. Everyone else respect it? That’s not for me to demand or decide... but it does govern our highest levels of government and lays the foundation for many of the mechanisms for how our country works.

Or they e never read it and can't tell the difference between the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence and they only know 2-3 rights from the Bill of Rights. Most of these types couldn't even pass the citizenship test.

Yep I agree as an American that we’ve got problems

Pt. II - We’re a big and relatively young country; still figuring things out. Our public transportation isn’t the best...big country. Extremely divergent opinions across 50 distinct states all with their own governments, further divided into counties, parishes, municipalities, cities, and towns...big country. The U.S. simply does not have the same historical constants that many other countries do...it’s not an opinion, it’s just the reality of the situation. Before anyone bashes me please know I’ve spent ~3% of my life in over a dozen foreign countries (~9 months alone in Asia) and ~10 states. I’ve tried to always be respectful and adhere to other people’s customs whether in my own country or elsewhere.

What always got me infuriated was Supreme Court Antonin Scalia would say that "the constitution is not a living document." Idiot, of course it is, otherwise the amendments would have stopped, along with repeals of those. The document is interpreted within the times that it is being reviewed within. We would still have prohibition, slavery, etc. if that were the case for what that man said.

Pt. V - Apologies for the perceived rant, but again it grows tiresome to continuously see such commentary on BP. If I picked another country and roasted it I’d likely be eviscerated...yet for some reason piling on the U.S. is almost encouraged based on more recent BP topics. Anyway, I’ll continue to love my country, not force it on anyone, and be a conscientious and courteous visitor wherever my travels may take me...hopefully OP can do the same.

The Christian Nationalist "patriots" are a huge problem.

Seriously is indeed the most important document of our nation and is regarded as something akin to the bible. Yes there is on going debate but it is the law of the land of freedom and home of the brave.

Yes, some Americans are like this, for sure.

Funny. Seems all those that want to alter it, seem to also want to institute Socialist Fascism. It's kinda hypocritical to mock those who believe in the Bill of Rights, when you are peacefully burning cities in order to institute tyranny and political theft of personal property and income. Sooo...

That's the beautiful part of its design! It CAN be altered. Unfortunately, the 2 political parties are going in extremely opposite directions

I remember a discussion with a die-hard gun nut who told me guns where there to stay because the constitution says so and it can't be changed😂

There’s a lot right with the US Constitution, but it’s often vague, like the horribly worded Second Amendment. I’m more a fan of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, but even that needs to update its language regarding marriage as a right between adults, not just men and women.

Amendments where built in there for a reason.

Nope.

Well it's the greatest document in the history of the world so... 'Murica!

You mean unemployed freeloaders

Avoid at all costs!

Problem in States is when ANYTHING is made mandatory people flip out and think somehow their freedoms are being threatened.

"Crapple" products.

I learned very quickly not to ask other moms for advice, especially on the internet. Go to the experts, folks.

Germany considers it to be a scam, I can only hope that the US can follow that lead soon.

Ok. Who is this?

I find this so... weird. I mean, it is cool that you work like 60 hours a week and so your boss can say bravo, but i want to work as much as i am payed, do my 8 hours a day and go and spend time with my wife, kids, friends or just by myself

ALL!!!!!

Football

See, the use of the word "woke" is what concerns me in this one. Their gender identity notwithstanding, cis or trans, anyone who refers to someone as "woke" in order to dismiss them, I can't trust to comment on the issue they're talking about.

Disney adults are weird and you cannot convince me otherwise. I have my fandoms, yes, but I'm not making a yearly trip to a special theme park like it's Mecca.

Companies don't want customers, they want fans who will buy anything that company sells

Definitely. "THEY" are wrong, the blasphemers. WE are the true ones. etc.

They also can't even pronounce Greek the right way. "GGGGGAMMA", "BETA", "PHYYYYY", "DDDDELTA" (γβφδ). I may be exaggerating but still.

No dude, crypto is as scammy and religiony as the stockmarket. Sure, some people are obsessed with it, yep. But so are stockbrokers.

let's see. Unscientific. Check. Magic. Check. Unfalsifiable. Check. Irrational beliefs, check. PS why are there jiggleballs there?

In God We Trust...
