That's okay, though, because these white youth obviously come from a background of blue blooded hardworking whites who earned their social statuses.
Not to make this discussion about race but it has become about minority group status. What these posters are typing has gone way beyond fraternity membership and homosexuals as a minority (in power and status) group. To discuss entitlement and welfare is obviously not about homosexuals.

Surprise, surprise. We got where I figured we were going all along. Ask what I think is wrong with today's society, I give you my honest answer (which wasn't intended to offend anyone, the problems are widespread across all races), and then you get offended and self-righteous.
Ladies and gentleman, I give you People's Exhibit A.

And this is exactly why you're incapable of answering what I asked you all.
Me: Remind me of what American culture is.
What you all read: What's wrong with America?
You all have an axe to grind which makes it impossible to have a real discussion. No one is offended or self-righteous. You're just doing exactly what I expected from you all.

Because no one was ever discussing what America's culture is. We were discussing the fact that America has a flawed value system.
Exactly like I said about you earlier, you wrongly define things and take them out of context for the sole purpose of getting someone to argue with you with the intent of trying to get them to say something that could, if misinterpreted, be offensive.
People's Exhibit B.

You know damn well what American culture is. Go read the wikipedia entry on American Culture if you don't. We gave you our opinions on which parts of it were relevant to this discussion. You're being an obtrusive ass to try to get a rise out of Crackerbarrel.

Do you know what I want to hear? Don't assume that you do.
I'd rather someone who thinks they know that this country's culture is decaying to answer the question.
