How did USA become such a messed up country?

lol @ your religious fanatic BS. Believe it or not, but some people do believe in god.

You have to admit that interest groups use religious beliefs to sway the government officials or other groups.
One instance is abortions. Planned Parenthood does a lot more than abortions and the reality of that is that it's a small percentage. Yet,
people say that taxes shouldn't be used to fund it. I think that religion should stay out of the government or the churches should start paying taxes.
They want a say in how the government is run on a 'corporate' level then they should have to pay to have the say. As individuals the church officials
are citizens just like the rest of us.

American's that play Uto should be used to being trash talked for living here. It's no different than people thinking poorly of Romanians or the Dutch. Does
the place my mother happened to give birth to me make me less of a person. Don't think it matters as long as you're a good person. (shrugs)

There are many, many things wrong with the gov't and yes, I agree that the separation of church and state is not enforce enough.
