I found that funny personally.

That wasn't funny and Reagan was a shit leader.

I second this. If I hear that Reagan "ended the Cold War" one more time, I'm going to beat that person to death with a life-sized cardboard cutout of Mikhail Gorbachev. Reagan also royally fucked up the Republican Party. "Gods, guns, and gays" began with him, except now Republican officials like Bachmann actually believe it.
In-character name of the nation is "Adiron," because I like the name better.

Incorrect.
It refers to a particular fashion of murdering.

Which still means being murdered, so you're wrong again.

It seems you do not understand the different kinds of murders out in the world.
There are your regular murder.
Mass murder.
Genocide.
Serial killings.
Assassinations.

Now go look up the differences unless you believe they share the same definition as murder.

Don't insult me. I'm glad you can differentiate shit that has no relevance to the debate and comes out to the same thing - dead people. We're all very proud of you.
How does this in any way affect or clarify what you said about Muslim people?

And you end up being murdered regardless, and the person who murdered you is a murderer.

So you are all sorts of wrong there, mate.

SO do you believe they are all simply murder with 0 differences?
Yes or no

Why are you pursuing this line of questioning? At best, it's completely unrelated to what you were saying. At worst, it's a threadjack.
What the fuck does the "difference" between murder (a general term) and an assassination (a refinement of the term "murder") have to do with what you were saying about Muslims?

Someone who is opposed to America?

Takes up far too much room on the map and they also divide themselves up into both North and South.

Unlike the rest of the continents.

I know it sounded like a stupid question, but what I meant is what traits or qualities does one have that is not American?

For example is capitalism anti american? (I think it isn't but I wanted someones POV on anti americanism)

I suppose that depends on exactly who you ask, really.

Someone who dislikes the nation of America would be anti-American.

That is about all that makes one an anti-American.

Seeing how most americans prefer a mixture of socialism and capitalism being purely capitalist would not be normal in America.
I would not think that is anti American.
I believe anti american are people who in general disdain america as a whole.

Being an Elitist. At least in my book.
And by 'Elitist' I don't mean professional or skilled. I mean people like Romney who can't even connect to the working man.

Anyone who thinks that being poor is a sign of stupidity or laziness is in my opinion an elitist fool.
