Survey: What would America Fight For?

Erase the items you think Americans wouldn’t fight for and keep the ones you think they would in your response (and I mean a majority of Americans, I know there are always a few who would be willing to die for coffee!):

it if all they had to do was send a complaint in the mail:
1. Cheep oil
2. Coffee
3. The right to practice their religion (Christianity)
4. Their child’s health and well being (looking a few years ahead)
5. Cable TV
6. Stopping an alien invasion (I’m talking Martians)
7. Keeping the right to say “fuck”
8. The right to drink liquor
9. Health care
10. Clean water

if they had to put in over an hours worth of effort:
1. Cheep oil
2. Coffee
3. The right to practice their religion (Christianity)
4. Their child’s health and well being (looking a few years ahead)
5. Cable TV
6. Stopping an alien invasion (I’m talking Martians)
7. Keeping the right to say “fuck”
8. The right to drink liquor
9. Health care
10. Clean water

if they had to give up some basic comforts:
1. Cheep oil
2. Coffee
3. The right to practice their religion (Christianity)
4. Their child’s health and well being (looking a few years ahead)
5. Cable TV
6. Stopping an alien invasion (I’m talking Martians)
7. Keeping the right to say “fuck”
8. The right to drink liquor
9. Health care
10. Clean water

if they had to give up everything:
1. Cheep oil
2. Coffee
3. The right to practice their religion (Christianity)
4. Their child’s health and well being (looking a few years ahead)
5. Cable TV
6. Stopping an alien invasion (I’m talking Martians)
7. Keeping the right to say “fuck”
8. The right to drink liquor
9. Health care
10. Clean water

last time this happened noone fought to hard so it shouldnt even be on the list

Is this for the average american? In that case I would say cheap oil and christianity till the death. nothing else that took any effort.
Myself on the otherhand is:
#4 child's well being, I would give up everything.
I would give up basic comforts for: #10 clean water, #9 health care, #8 right to drink liquor, #7 right to say fuck, thats about it maybe #3 right to pracitce religion, esp. if it covered every religion. If it doesn't then no. I have little respect for christianity.
Don't care about the others...

if you think about it who is going to go out of their way to fight for something? when was the last time you or anyone you know has actually wrote to your Congressman? old people, religious groups, and whatever group thinks that something needs to change. your average working joe only cares about healthcare if they are city or state employees then they will fight for that. most everyone will fight for children and most of the time you will hear people say that we need to do it to protect the children, even when half the time thats bullshit. as for the rest people dont like gas prices but they still drive the Hummer.

I don't think Americans as a whole, could agree on what to order for lunch, let alone what they are willing to fight for. They are lazy, stupid sheep people that don't even give a crap about themselves, let alone the world around them. (yes I am an American, the truth is still the truth)

I don't really get the question. I guess for me I'd have to say the only one that mattered was fighting those fucking martians and being able to say "fuck", i'd say clean water too, but that doesn't exist, unless it's bottled by Dasani. you can keep your cable TV speed and booze and you christianity and crude oil. actually, as a matter of fact, i'd probibly fight to get RID of those things.
