      Al, that's a game you are sure to loose
      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

        the main difference is Britain exported its loons and non conformists to America whereas we mainly just got the poor and crims

          You would describe the Puritans as non-conformists? Maybe to post-Glorious Revolution laissaz-faire, Catholic-loving England but otherwise,

          The real main difference is America is a lot larger so we have a greater volume of whackos.

          Plus we had this discussion before but English are hardly the majority of Americans. We imported people from everywhere.

            If the cult above is the exclusive brethren, they came from the US

            And yes, the puritans were religious dissenters, we didn't get those

              That's where you fail - US has way more than their reasonable part of wackos considering size

                  If your'e talking about religious nutcases, maybe, if it's political nutcases, then no.

                    The US also acted like a penal colony in lots of cases. In fact, the push to colonize Australia is a direct result of Britain needing a new place to send it's poor and criminals as the US was no longer available.

                          You've got it backwards. America is the one bastion of sanity in this world. Where else do you have genuine gun ownership rights?

                          (Admittedly New York isn't one of those places, but I dream of a day, one day...)

                            I thought Georgia was the penal colony.

                              We can't open carry RPG-7's and grenades and stuff in America. Damn liberal fascists.
