Hey , aren ' t you the guy from the forums ? <| sep |> There is always the military option . the g . I . bill is fuckin sweet . They paid me to go to school . <| sep |> I bought a second account to stay in base and craft <| sep |> Yeah . They wear actual silver with the navy blues but switch to teal with the white jerseys . <| sep |> Its LIVE NOW ! <| sep |> True . He was getting rather lonely <| sep |> This must be from the day after Thanksgiving . <| sep |> I ' ll try to answer a few questions as best as I can . There are a couple reasons for the heavy patriotism though I don ' t think it ' s as bad as some think it is . As I had mentioned above , nationality is one if our primary identifiers . Many other countries have a correlation between nationality , ethnicity , and race . For example , someone of Japanese nationality will probably be Japanese by race . Since there is no American race we cling more to nationality as a sense if shared identity and global identity . That ' s one hypothesis . As for how polarized are two party system is , I personally agree , it should be much more fragmented . Still , most of us feel that by voting third party , we throw our vote away so we vote for which ever party closest represents our ideologies even if we don ' t like their candidate . It ' s just self perpetuating and it ' s kept simplistic because frankly , many Americans would rather gravitate towards one extreme or the other rather than critically think of the issues for themselves
