Wanderer,

9 times out of 10 when you talk to an American about something they say “you can’t do that because the constitution says X, Y, Z”. It always reminds me of Muslims, Jews or Christians talking about their holy books.

Most other nationalities make arguments based on some logic, or reason. If there is a law that stops them they talk about changing it, that isn’t an issue. But for Americans the constitution is something that is almost holy. They make arguments based on the fact that the constitution says something not because of any reasoning behind it.

But I’m not American so the argument more often than not falls flat. It’s kinda relevant now but that’s not what I want to know.

I’ll actually rephrase the sentence, in the orginal post as it’s a bit crap.
