| | '''2.''' I think once we were attacked we had every right to join the war, however if the attack really was known before hand, then it should have been prevented so war wouldn't have to take place at all. Now, as for the timing, I don't think we should have joined sooner. As far as I know England didn't ask for our help, and we might have made it worse by jumping in when we weren't really needed. The Battle of Britain is a good example. There were 7 Americans in the entire battle, and some 100 English fighters. They, and some Polish and Swiss pilots held of the Germans, forcing them to call of their attack. With little help from us at all. | | '''2.'''

| − | '''3.''' I like how it was in the earlier days. When no one had problems with immigration. America is a free country with much better benefits and opportunities then most other countries. Why should we hoard all these things? Why should we complain when others are willing to work harder and longer then us? If immigration were free, or residency cards easier to obtain, maybe there wouldn't be as much illegal immigration as there is today. | + | '''3.'' ' I like how it was in the earlier days.

| | 4. I think the thing I like most about the '20s is the contentment the people must have had. For all they knew, life would always continue to be this way, and they sat back and enjoyed themselves. Not that life should always be that way, there should always be a time for work so laziness doesn't set it, but if there are things that make you happy and alleviate your stress, then there should be a set time to enjoy these things, and from what I can see, that is what seemed to happen for a majority of the '20s. | | 4.

| − | There is an issue, though. Since everyone believed life would always be this way, they were in no way prepared for the sudden crash of the stocks. It's better to fear the future and be prepared then to ignore possibilities and be dissapointed. | + | There is an issue, though.
