Identification "is" between such a complex entity as US and one of the descriptors of policies would be an oversimplification, much like the identification of modern China as "socialist" or "communist".

Words can provide inroads for inquiry - while labels can prevent inquiry from happening.

If you would like to ask my opinion about the US, I would say that the early form of US democracy, with selective suffrage, was an amazing system, with balanced rights and responsibilities. Now the responsibility is pretty much a intracorporate (or 'feudal') thing.
Perhaps one of the possible future solutions is already maturing in the form of 'reputation systems' on the popular websites.
One day the elements of "reputation society" will be widely used in management, and then in state policies, - US already has an established system of credit ratings, etc.
Maybe this would solve the current crisis of lack of responsibility in modern Western capitalism.

Are you referring to the status of bhikkhunis? If so, then my response is paṇīta.
See:
Do you know "5 kāmaguṇas" ?

Do you know status--hīna, majjhima, and paṇīta of them?
Also,
Capitalism make a better and better kāmaguṇas to this world. In the past, kāmaguṇas were lower quality more than nowadays kāmaguṇas. Also, harder to get kāmaguṇas, too. Didn't have telephone, internet, or another facilities.
Then, please, cross "bhikkhunī" topic, and "the same topic every religion" topic to "the difference of them" also especially look at their effect to kāmaguṇas' addition.

Yes, wrong. People following other economic philosophies have kāmaguṇas too and they also have thirst for power, control and other cravings.
Please cross this topic, I knew and everyone knew that before I open this topic as new. Look on panīta of kāmaguṇas effected by capitalism.

I still talk about it from begin through to this reply.

Why would anyone not support human rights? Calling me a fundamentalist of human rights is probably meant to be derogatory, but I'll take it as a compliment. :tongue:
Is "bikkhunī comming again" "human rights"?
Is "bikkhunī comming again" "vinaya rights"?

Is "gay freedom" "human rights"?
Is "gay freedom" "aggaññasutta rights"?

Is "capitalism" "human rights"?
Is "bikkhunī comming again" and "gay freedom" "powerful project", more than the past, because of "capitalism (cooperative taṇhā system)"?
Why bhodhisata acted like that sometime and to somebody, didn't act sometime and didn't act to somebody?
What was his limit?
What are our limit?
Do we know "limit"?
Do we know "rule"?
Do we know "buddhist rule"?
Do we know "buddhist dhamma rule"?
Do we know "buddhist vinaya rule"?
Do we know "buddhist sutta rule"?
Do we know "buddhist abhidhamma rule"?
Do we know "right request over the rule"?
Is "right" "complete right", or just "our right"?
What is the difference of:
"Taṇhā right, human right in our meaning--nowadays meaning?"
and
"Taṇhā right, human right in buddhist meaning?"


Analysis, analysis, and analysis, then get ñātapariññā/abhiññatañāṇa.

P.S., I can answer all in thai. However, I am not confident at my english skill for my questions.

---My Note---
I derogatory you, however I didn't want to discredit/abuse you. My english is terrible, and maybe unmoral. I estimated you knew my feeling. However, I emphasis again for my happy(destroy my after kukucca).

I love to talk in this forum, even if I can't quote much translated tipitaka and commentary, because you most can analysis tipitaka and control your feeling more than thai buddhist. Talking can have angry, but we should control it and let the discussion to the end.
---End Note---

Tipitaka memorization is a rule of monks. It isn't just a choice. They must done it.
