I think this is a big problem in the US. You guys think you have the best of everything.I still argue that we have the best "idea" of how things SHOULD be.

I never said America was perfect.
We have a media that fights for ratings, instead of truth.
We have a population that is highly religious, and has a fear of science if it contradicts what is in the bible.
We have a gas/oil industry that feeds people lies and makes them fear alternative energy sources. (Personally I think we should just build tons of Nuclear Power Plants and use Tesla Solar Roofs+Power Walls)
But, we also have many great things.
We top the charts in Charity.

We give the most foreign aid in the world to other countries. (Total, not by GDP, we give 0.19% of our GDP)
I still argue that we have the best "idea" of how things SHOULD be.
Fixing the issues you stated does need to happen, but the "freedom to believe what you want" is also important.
We can't just "force" people to believe in evolution, or climate change. We have to convince them with facts, which isn't as easy with religious people. They have been ignoring facts their entire lives.
thats what im doing thank you skattebetalare. me and my family came to sweden a dark night in our rowing boatThis is true, happens in Sweden..
I have legitimate reasons to believe the idea of freedom is better than the idea of socialism.I think this is a big problem in the US. You guys think you have the best of everything.
I have a lot of freedom as well as free hospitalsI have legitimate reasons to believe the idea of freedom is better than the idea of socialism.
And I am fully ready with logic and reason to defend my ideals.
#freedomforamericansI dont know what are you talking about freedom. NSA spy almlst every move of every citizen in US. US want to jail snowden, EU parlament gave him asylum as human rights protector. Also EU said it is illrgal for spy agencies to collect metadata.

man @Flatlander what heavy shit are you on
You're not doing anything that can be a good force. You're fucking delusional.Like I said, America isn't perfect.
No country is, and being the most powerful, also means we have the ability to be one of the most corrupt. (Power Corrupts)
But imagine if you switch America with Saudi Arabia.
Or switch America with North Korea.
Make America have the population and defense budget of another country, and put some other country in possession of this much power. There are much worse outcomes than us.
America is at least TRYING to be good. We may fail sometimes, we are made up of 300 million people all with their own goals and dreams.
And 1% of the human population are said to be Psychopaths.
So we have 3 million Psychos running around and studies show Psychopaths are more likely to be successful. Which means most likely a large amount of CEOs and maybe some Politicians are Psychopaths.
Knowing this, were doing at least a SOMEWHAT decent job at trying to be a "good force" in the world.
You keep forgetting that most left organizations (those from before 1991/1992) are product of soviet intelligence propaganda and funding. Those people doesn’t believe in freedom, democracy or even tolerance. They believe in marxist political warfare and getting power to destroy any opposition. And by destroy I mean any "necessary" way of doing so.But, in a democracy, we use the freedom of speech to voice our opinions and work out issues.
I honestly doubt it. Bernie is communist. To be honest some of his ideas sounds like one of many speeches of Bolesław Bierut, Władysław Gomułka or Wojciech Jaruzelski. Google who those people were xDBernie probably could have beaten Trump as well (even though I don't agree with his Policies)
Are you sure? Can You present any data on trends of your economy (stuff like purchasing power of your currency, etc.) and demography? Japan was also paradise some time ago with USA funding high taxes and state interventionism. But now this his hellhole with major demographic disaster which will drag them into collapse within few generations.We have this in Sweden and works perfect.
Talking about tax rates is useless without talking about stuff like regulations. You can impose high taxes, but if those taxes are relatively simple(in terms of calculating/paying them) and there aren't many regulations to limit market, then it could work fine. The problem starts when State impose high taxes and then goes full-mental on regulations.dunno where you get your sources from, but you definitely need a lesson in source criticism @60% tax rate lmao
To be honest, our tax is lower than yours in US (depends on income though but on average).
You're are not cry-babies. You're almost anti-democracy fascists xD You always try to impose your ridiculous ideology on everyone.However, it's really sad that you have this opinion of LGBTQ people, and that we are all "crybabies".
First of all, your rights depend on humor of 51% of voters. If you wanna “your rights” then be nice to them, pay them and lobby them.Also, you do realize that without gay-marriage etc. LGBTQ people do lose some rights since they're not married? We don't give a fuck if you like it or not, we want our rights.
This system works for thousands of years and generated progress until XX century. Socialists ideas generated two major world wars, minor conflicts and bloody Russian civil war that created USSR.So, based on your theory, if child is born to poor family that does not have money for college or even worse, healthcare, the child's future is already written because you can say it won't get college education even if it would be able to. .
Slovakia is part of European Union. Which means that You guys are paying heavy taxes and are forced to impose heavy EU’s regulation of your market. It’s not like You don’t pay for thatI have some points that will probably be absolutely out if your theories. I am from Slovakia but I have some friends that study high school or university in Denmark:
- they get everything for free
- some of them are even paid from government of Denmark (mostly for good marks)
- their parents did not pay any taxes in Denmark and will never do
- they are accepted by society as regular danish citizens
- after they finish study, they return home and won't pay anything back
So what? Real and stable economy is based on heavy industry factories, on shops, on physical services. Most of European universities included in that idiotic Erasmus projects are either humanist bullshit or slightly sell bullshitty economic universities.All of them have been given a chance to get an education no matter how many money they had. That's the point. Everyone in EU can apply to any university in EU with no charge.
I do. But I’m to lazy to look for data that will for example show socialist countries patenting less than none-socialist countries.Excuse me? Did you actually call socialist countries lazy?
1. You’re very naïve if you think that spy on citizens is something new or bad. State must know many shady things if it wants to keep itself from being destroyed form inside or being invaded by people who got access to strategic defense data.I dont know what are you talking about freedom. NSA spy almlst every move of every citizen in US. US want to jail snowden, EU parlament gave him asylum as human rights protector. Also EU said it is illrgal for spy agencies to collect metadata.
I can't. I'm not ecologist, neither I studied any environment-related subject or read any serious pollution-related research paper from any scientific journal.Can you also argue with post about pollution ? Which is probably the most important thing US should change.
"My system" on the other hand is the more progressive one in terms of science, rather than SJW stuff. For a moment let's just assume that I'm not from Poland. I'm from USASo your super mega giga best system:
- produce biggest amount of homeless people
- produce the same pollution as China (which is almost 4-times more population)
- produce 2.5x more pollution than Europe with same population and same quality of life (or even worse) than Europe
- the half of parlament say the global warming is not a problem, even new elected president say that - everything for business
That's because Denmark was rich and important trading region before they went mental and decided to go full-marxist. You cannot argue that socialism work in countries like Denmark, Sweden or Switzerland. Those are rich countries, they were either neutral in many important wars or the major battles (subsequently destruction, thievery, decrease in population) didn’t happen on their soil. Those places got rich when they were kingdoms (or some kind of confederacy in case of Swiss) and now They have money to fund those socialist experiments for some time."Socialist" system in Denmark:
- almost no homeless ppl
- 100% green energy
- one of best medical care in the world for free (paid from taxes..)
- free schools & universities
- ppl dont complain about taxes, they raise them themselves

1. I don’t care about homeless people. Really. It’s not my fault.
2 &3 . Pollution? I'm from the country that applies for the biggest number of patents. Juts after patent-spamming China. So My country is the one who will first achieve new and “green” energy technologies as well as technologies of disposing already existing wastes. You on the other hand must rely on what? Wind? Water? Basic atomic based on toxic uranium, rather than new-tech thorium solutions which are developed in my country…?
Even official in China talk about focusing on developing new green technologies, because they’re starting to be annoyed but all of those smogs in all of their major cities and industry centers. And currently China is the biggest source of industrial patents, so you know that they are serious about it.
4. Can You present me with any proper and broad research paper that proves humanity major role in global warming? Because if you’re really looking for someone to blame then go and blame India or pet-loving citizens across the world… I don’t know if you realize but live-stock or domestic animals have bigger impact on environment that cars…

If you look at:
- Russia/USSR, after bloody civil war at the end of first World War;
- People’s Republic of Poland and other soviet satellites, which were directly incorporated into USSR, after the second Word War;
- “East Germany”, after the war and before it was incorporated into “West Germany”;
- North Korea, after both USSR and PRC decided to cut their support to DPRK and started to do business with South Korea;
- Some lesser countries, in Asia, Africa and South America (including Cuba), that adopted socialism/communist due to Soviet’s intelligence influence and funding pro-soviet guerilla;
…You’ll notice that socialism doesn’t work in time of peace, when You have to rebuild your country after war, or when you’re young post-colonial African/Asian/South American country, that required to establish itself for the first time, without any rich overlord from across the ocean.
People there are not complaint YET.
Give me names of at least 10 major ecologists and give me their research papers, which are broad studies of global warming effect and which provide all major factors involved in that effect with pointing out major role of human's heavy industry.Haha, the typical US ideas, 98% of scientists are not enough for you to say global warming is real.
Dude… Patents can be used until there isn’t any law that specifically bans technique, process, activity, etc. patented in that application. And the content of application itself is kept secret from the moment of applying until patent office approves it. Lobbies doesn’t have any access to the content to be even able to ban it or something.Yes you've got patents but your business lobby is so fucked up that it's impossible to use them and sad thing is that - people dont care.
Your cat/dog eats food, shits shit and uses oxygen/emits carbon dioxide. For nature/environment it is much more hard to replenish / get rid of, than some amount of carbon dioxide from that Mustang car xDThey buy mustang that eats 15 litres of gas per 100km to feel like a "real american".
If you want to talk about global warming in scientific tone of facts, then operate on real scientific arguments like bibliography of research papers, not on some document with oscar-winning-actor-wannabe. This is the same as trying to get any scientific facts out of The Bing Bang theory… xD Like seriously. Be adult about it.Please check documentary Before the flood with LeonardoDiCaprio you will get answers for your arguments.
They are the biggest or the second economy after China (it depends on economist’s view), so expecting from them to produce less waste is either naïve or borderline retarded.US simply produces biggest waste in the world per one citizen. I've experienced that also 1 month ago when I was doing round-trip in west US (California, Arizona, Nevada).
France is full of radical Muslims who reproduce 10x faster than native French people and they will take over country within few generation, so looking at that Marxists/politically correct idiots in French elites is very stupid ideaFrance illegalized usage of those plastic shit for example.
Because your country is too poor to invest in development of biopolymers which could be produced in big tanks of bacteria batches xDEven in my poor country we're not gettin meals with those plastic shit.
Wut…? My examples of poor countries was part of topic in regard to happiness of Dutch people who have money to invest in socialistic experiments and about socialism not working in rebuilding/young States. It had nothing to do waste production, so I don’t understand why the hell you connected those parts.About India: Should not be your super mega giga system example for those poor countries ? If all indians would produce the same waste as you, we would need 3 Earths.
