In America, yes.

Absolutely not! The great thing about America is that we have those rights that are due to every living human being. Unfortunately, the thing that sucks about America is that we try to force our opinions on other countries. Believe it or not, lots of countries are fine not having a Democratic Government. For example, Iraq. While, we did a great justice to their country by freeing them of Sadaam Hussein, we did a greater injustice by trying to force them to run their government the way we run ours that's why we're in this ridiculous war in the first place. I thank God that we live in America but, I pray that we become more humble as a nation so all Americans don't feel like our freedoms and liberties are more important than other countries' freedoms and liberties.

To people who were born citizens of the U.S., I suppose the lives and rights of people in the U.S. are more important than the lives and rights of people in other countries...just as, to someone born in, say, England would feel as if the lives and rights of Brits are more important than the lives and rights of other countries.
But this is patriotism...isn't it? We form a nation based on our own beliefs and principles, and then fight for the right of our nation to live and prevail over the rights of other nations.
Perhaps it is not a very good system...but it is the one we have...at least, for now.
Since my own life and my own rights are very important to me, I think I will defend the rights and lives of my own countrymen over the lives and rights of other places first...and then, the lives and rights of all people everywhere.
I suppose I could narrow it down even further than that. When it comes right down to it, I will defend the lives and the rights of my own family first...and everyone else, second.
I'll bet a quarter most people would say the same, if they were honest....
;-D

This nation has been here over 200 years and figured out how to make it work. I'm a little tired of our nation having to police the world. The rest of the world could make their countries as great as ours. All it takes is education and common sense but the people of our nation has lost its common sense and I'm afraid this great nations days are numbered and like the Bible says when we fall the nations around us will cry cause there wont be noone left to save them.

No, of course not. But neither are they less valuable, and when it comes to defending the lives and rights of Americans, we bow to no one and ask for no "by your leave".

Definitely not. We are all equal. Life is precious, regardless of where you are from. The soul has no colour, no nationality. It is wrong to place yourself above another, it just shows how selfish and ignorant you are. Why are we hating each other? We should be promoting love.

Yes, aren't the rights and lives of YOUR loved ones more valuable than any others?

yes because if i die or my rights are taken away from me, I suffer. If some person who gets his rights and life taken away in some faraway country, doesn't affect me at all.

Only to "Americans."

No. We're all humans. Being a citizen of a certain country doesn't make you "special".
