How would you fix America?

Forums > Community > Politics

~Grendeer Dec 13, 2012

My studies of history have shown me the gradual decline of America. I'm wondering what ideas you have on how to fix it.

My question: If you could fix America with the flick of a switch, how would you do it?

I thought I'd update how I think America should be fixed.
Ultimately, most of America's problems are a result of spiritual apathy or lifelessness. If Christians were to wake up and start living like Christ, then many of America's problems would simply disappear.
Firstly: Economics
The Bible clearly teaches good stewardship. (Lk. 12:42-48) If the government were to observe the teaching of this passage, then America would start to revover from her economic woes.
Secondly: Marriage
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh." (Gen. 2:24) Unfortunately, this one sparks uproar in homosexual communities. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah over this issue, He will destroy America as well.
Thirdly: School
"He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes" (Pro. 13:24) This concept sparked the popular phrase, "spare the rod, spoil the child". If schools were allowed to enforce discipline, academics in America would be much stronger. Also, their would be a lower crime right in American schools, because kids would be taught the difference between right and wrong, and the consequences for stepping out of line would be severe.

all they need to do is follow the constitution

~Grendeer Feb 12, 2013

True, but does that include the Amendments?

I have a solution in mind but it involves unicorns...

If we find a living breathing unicorn willing to help only then will the US be "fixed".

(in other words give us something doable please)

~Grendeer Feb 9, 2013

This is a hypothetical situation, I am well aware of how difficult it is in real life, that's why I asked the question in the first place.

~Azza9 Feb 9, 2013

I think the original post was political trollbait/ flamebait. I don't think you expect anyone to come up with a feaseable plan to fix a country with so many problems are the US. On a serious note I hope you guys do figure it out.

~Grendeer Feb 14, 2013

Also, I'll try to bring over someone who has a different view by politely showing them errors in their logic. At the same time, I will not tolerate disrespect of any kind.

~Grendeer Feb 9, 2013

Actually, the original post was bait for people to come express their feelings without the fear of being trolled.
I will never attack someone, or blatantly attempt to irritate them. I will ask questions, in an effort to understand the reasoning behind what people say, and I will more than happily argue my points of necessary.

sounds like u have a good point but to me it could be all fixed if everyone was more educated, and i agree with u about removing all the scumbags out of government. Obama should do a boris yelstin come in pissed and say your all sacked!

~Grendeer Feb 6, 2013

I am not an Obama supporter. In fact, it is his tenor as President that inspired me to create this forum.
