America's broken; Fix it.(essay)

You know what's wrong with America? The fact that in every social issue I see, no one can agree but everyone is wrong. People are arguing but no one is taking the time to sit everyone down and talk about a compromise, no one is trying to come up with a solution. America becomes divided in half, and a house can not stand with a split foundation. The United States need to be re-united.

 Take an issue such as marriage equality, I believe that America was founded on the beliefs that all my regardless or race, religion, or lifestyle, could come and live the life they chose. In that case, homosexual couples should be given the right to have a legal marriage, but maybe have a way to marry them without a priest or church. That way both sides can live the life they want, and we could try to live in harmony.

 Another issue would be the people complaining that video games are causing problems, they just seem to be attacking game companies when they themselves know nothing about the subject their ranting about. Playing a game does not make you violent, dwelling on negative thoughts makes you violent. The one thing I can't stand in the world is ignorance, and when people complain about problems when they don't know both sides, it aggravates me to no end. Someone needs to sit everyone down and explain how targeting video games will not stop violence. If anything, I've seen where playing games like that relieve stress because you can virtually cause violence, and it could relieve stress.

 I think that if American citizens would take the time to listen to each other regardless of different beliefs or race or religion, then we could come together as a nation and take our previous spot as the best nation in the world.
