Name A Country Doing Better Economically Then USA

[cnm]

Why are you so upset over us being a representave republic?
Don't you like minorities having a voice?

I'm not upset at US dumb fucks who don't understand how to use a dictionary, usually rightards. I realise there are a lot of them, I just point it out when I meet them.

Your the one who's swearing.

Well it's not exactly as though you're not fucking dumb.

 

[cnm]

But I'm curious, what dictionary do you use for your definitions?

Or perhaps half of the country is being taught incorectly.

All of them are the same ,they all give the same definition of democracy.

I like Collins.

I like Collins.

The best one in my view is Oxford.

Fair enough. I think Collins is better.

Seems the answer is right here for you as to why half the country thinks we're a Constitutional Republic and the other thinks is a form of Democracy.
Both views have the right for representation, but half has felt that they haven't been.
Washington has bypassed the heartland.

I know. The right wing loons think democracy is a form of govt. It's not, it's an ideal. The US is a democracy.

If their idea was applied elsewhere it would mean that none of the English speaking democracies were in fact democracies. They're fed this bullshit from some source. The crazies at Fox perhaps?

The right wing in the US is all about the individual. Even thinking of joining together to do something for the greater good of society is at the bare minimum, socialism, at its worst, communism...

Freedom is just sooo special the US right wing loons.

and it helps if the majority of the citizens are basically on the same page....not like here were we have 100 million different pages...

Why does this help?

are you really asking that?...

Yes, you could try answering.

like minded people are more apt to get things done than people who cant agree on shit and do nothing but bad mouth and oppose each other,like here....

Are they?

A place like Somalia then would probably have lots of ethnic groups, lots of white people, lots of Asians, lots of different people. 85% of Somalia is made up of ethnic Somalians. The non-ethnic Somalians are in the south of the country. And yet their country is a mess.

The US has a Congress made up of 2 parties. That's it, you'd think therefore that like minded people would get lots and lots done, seeing as the Reps and Dems are kind of like minded in a lot of ways, and yet they get nothing done.

I don't see what you've said. Sometimes it is the case. Take Iraq however. Things got done in Iraq under Saddam, then he was deposed and the main religious and ethnic groups split and don't like each other and have caused problems. So, they could work together, except when people start causing problems between groups, mostly nationalists, and mostly nationalists are on the right of the spectrum.

Who in America is causing the religious issues? Mostly the right.
That's where a lot of the racists camp out, isn't it?

However racism existed in Germany in the 1930s. In 1900 Jews made up 1.04% of the population of Germany. For the most part Germans were Germanic. Yet they couldn't agree on shit, they had the Weimar Republic, Communists and Nazis started to do well, but there were so many political parties it was incredible with a whole host of views on how to deal with the world.

Come the modern era and the Germans have Turks coming in and not able to get German citizenship even after like 3 generations, but they let in "ethnic German" Russians who just drink and cause problems and don't even speak the language.

So again, what you're saying might have relevance in particular cases, but in other cases it might be meaningless. To blame ethnic groups in the US is a little strange to me.

was i blaming ethnic groups,or was that you?.....im blaming like minded people opposing other like minded people,like what happens here daily and screw the welfare of the country.......and we were talking about Norway,not Somalia or Iraq who have a good deal of internal and outside problems.........Norway has lots of people who can live with what is doing in their government,even if they are against it,they can live with it.....here whatever the Left wants,the Right is against and vice versa,the far right and left only agree with what they want,and fuck everyone else.....

I don't think either of us was blaming specific ethnic groups. You were saying different people, which in general means different ethnic and religious groups. Unless of course you're trying to say that right wingers and left wingers should have their own country, say, the left take the East and the right take the west, people are free to move between the two but have to accept that each side has their own way and this will lead to a more homogeneous society.

So if someone brings up Norway, I can't bring up Somalia or Iraq as examples? What they fuck?

Yes, the left are right have such partisanship in the US it's ridiculous. You're blaming all of this on people who aren't like minded, I was suggesting that your view is too simple, hence why I brought up EXAMPLES TO SHOW MY POINT.

After I Lived in Norway, America Felt Backward. Here's Why. | The Nation

How did Norway become so rich despite being a socialist country ...

People in Norway work far less than Americans and they have far more.

Norway - World's shortest work weeks - CNNMoney

Hey there Righties, how does it feel being wrong all the time? I hear Walmart is hiring.

Typical tRumproid!

And yet nothing is free in the US either. The difference is that in Denmark people won't end up dying because they're poor.

Joining together voluntarily is perfectly compatible with capitalism. Socialism is where you "join together" at the point of a gun. You aren't given the option of not joining. That's what leftwingers are all about.

Then again, anyone with any knowledge of the outside world, far from the US would realize that Denmark is a small country. It has 332 people per square mile, compared to the USA at 85 people per square mile. You know what population density does to house prices? Ever figured out why it's more expensive in California than Texas?

Looks almost the same, huh?
