Blah, blah, I don't even know why I bother taking part in serious discussions. It always ends with:
a) me getting ignored
b) everyone disagreeing
Then again I suppose that is the nature of debate so I shouldn't complain.
I know USA is very diverse culturally, but the fact remains that it IS one country and Europe is not. In the USA can you geographically divide the different cultural groups? I don't think so, because they all lived mixed up together. So are you proposing that the USA gets many votes, one for every ethnic minority? I.e an English immigrants' vote, an Irish immigrants' vote, an American Indian vote, a Mexican immigrants' vote etc.? I guess what I was trying to say is that I thought American was pretty mixed culturally everywhere so you can't really define culturally different geographic regions to give individual votes to whereas in Europe you can. Then again I don't know taht much about America so maybe I'm wrong.
