Someone Said Most Americans Would Choose "Pride' Over "Comfort"
Would you be willing to give up your "pride" for the assurance that the government would provide for as many of your needs as politically possible? Help settle a little private debate.

I don't even see how this argument makes any sort of sense. Of course no one is going to give up their pride, meaning that this is a loaded statement. That's like asking a Republican if they would give up their right to bear arms for some monetary value. It ain't gonna happen buddy. And Strike on the right-side of this column shows just how people abuse pride in this country; he has so much pride that he is blinded. If that is pride, I don't want anything to do with it. I'd like to also mention that pride is linked with six other sins...

 "The liberal agenda will never prevail in America"- See that debate from a few days ago and the dialogue between BLUESTATER and myself. It will speak for itself.

You may leave now....again.

P.S. Unfortunately, The editors have a habit of editing a debate title. I guess to make it follow a true debate format. It really kind of changed what I said.

I'm going to have to disagree with this one, as our country becomes more and more diluted with aliens who are less educated, use to poverty and love to take advantage of handouts. Pride in the US seems to be going down hill.
Here in California, they have places where illegal aliens can go and learn HOW to take advantage of the system (Just take with nothing in return) Pride, I don't think so. All you have to do is go to where they live and you'll see they're bringing the country down.

 Still, I did say most.


For background, see the dialogue between Hiddel and I in the debate from a few days ago- "the liberal agenda will never prevail in America".

 The editors reworded it a little it it make it a true debate format. I had a debater tell me he would pick "comfort over pride". Meaning he would be willing to let the government provide for his needs even if it meant losing his pride. would you?.

I think that the people your talking about don't have pride in the first place to even weigh the two options. Abusers really piss me off too buddy.
