Ever noticed how America seems to have ages corresponding to a human's? Like we started off breaking off from Europe. We were kind for the most part for a while, but we still had many problems. Like the Salem Witch Trials. We then eventually grew up into a teenager. We decided we wanted to be free from our mother, as we thought she was restricting us. We started rebelling, yelling and mobbing. Our mother started to punish us, and we fought back. We eventually got away from our mother, and started to make our own life. After this big fight, we made up. America started to learn after a while, resulting in the Industrial Revolution.

But now, we are very old, and we have gone insane. Not to say we weren't before, but now it's being expressed more from old age.
I'm sure you know all the ways I'm talking about with us going insane.
If we follow this human aging system, we'll die soon. That will be very fun.
I also just noticed that we were made by accident by Columbus finding America. So we were messed up from the start.

Now, I'm not saying other countries aren't bad, I'm just saying how America seems to have this aging system. Some other countries are like this too, I just think America has the most things that go along with this aging system.

I completely agree in that sentece, but still, considering that some of our cultures are European based, that is, that some of our countries were once dependant of an European country (For example: Mexicans were dependant of Spain back in the New Spain times), America would still have been a native continent, that's why the arrival of Europeans was an important factor in history, sadly, some of those 'changes' were the results of war, pure violence, that could be related to many of the violent behaviors or heritages found nowadays in many countries, but I'm not going that deep.

That's how people improve, with the help of others and trying to find something new everyday. We Mexicans have noticed (Since long ago actually...) that there are countries that have changed many things for the sake of the humanity, like Japan, Germany, Netherlands or many others, we have called those 'Major Countries (Translation, In case of mispelling: ''Paises primermundistas'')

An amusing description ^__^

But I see it like this.

Communications technologies are to blame.


Before the modern day, the only America to get news, and to feature in the news, was the large cities and more "progressive" parts of the nature. Now, it's the rural areas which are far more conservative in their attitudes and view points that are catching people's attention.

Partly because it's a surprise that people like the stereotypical southerner exist.

Personally, I think American eras would correspond well with medical conditions.
You say "insanity", I say "psychopath".
