    The Left's powerbase is rooted in Academia and becoming "progressively" more dangerous.

    Now it’s not just rape and skyrocketing tuition to worry about, it’s also soaring rates of mental illness among college students.

    “We are seeing an epidemic of mental illness on college campuses across the country. According to national data, 40% of undergraduate students have felt so depressed within the past year that it’s been difficult for them to function, 10% have seriously considered suicide, and these numbers are higher than the numbers for kids and young adults of the same age who are not attending college.”​

    [QUOTE="Arkanis, post: 1070210109, member: 61480"...Canada borrows on the money market at lower interest rates than the US...[/QUOTE]
    US GDP growth is more than 50% stronger, so of course our borrowing rates are higher, to prevent the onset of inflation.

    Don't know much about the parlimentary system, but it seems to be a bit superior in terms of weeding/keeping out corruption. Especially if there is more than 2 parties working towards the same goal of getting elected instead of doing the work of the people.
    As I just posted to another, most come out of congress as millionaires, due to having inside knowledge and then writing tax/legal laws/code to make those investments prosper. Legally doing insider trading, in a nutshell.

    As I said, no one cares what you say, you seem to make up stuff, probably ferreting some RW BS blog.
    But post actual data to what you claim. Else your posts are nothing but RW hot air. And not believable.

    It came from no source, at least you didn't link a source, so we assume it comes from your backside.

    You’d be surprised what you might learn from people who have studied history and think for themselves

    The Nationsl Socialist economic model was identical to what socialist democrats are pushing today

    Of course not. It's always claimed that they are implementing Paradise.

    In our nation our government is controlled by US, not the other way around.
    WE follow OUR dreams, not the fantasies of the master planners.

    You are free to persuade us into anything that doesn't infringe on our Freedom Liberty, now, so what are you bitching about?

    The USSR was a Socialist Republic and they murdered a 110,000,000 of their own citizens.
    China is a Socialist Government, murdered 77,000,000 of its own.
    Cambodia murdered 2,200,000 of it's own.

    The list of murderous Socialist States goes on and on: Hitler, Cuba, East Germany, Ethiopia, North Korea, Poland, Romania, and so on.

    Thankfully some of these nations now live free, making their own choices rather than being controlled by government.

    Yes, the USA gov't implemented social policies. And we have been the strongest nation in the world since then.
    What excessive taxation and regulation are you referring to? And how is it NOW, more excessive than previously? Especially since the 1930s and 40s, when the most social policies were implemented. And we became the 1 of the worlds superpower.

    My head says, we became the worlds strongest country, and we led that way with social programs to help all citizens move forward.
    What say you, that is different?

    I might be. But that doesn't seem like it will come from you.
    Remember, you never provide a link or source to any claim. So there is no way to verify anything you say.
    It is all just your 1 sided biased opinion. Which means absolutely NOTHING to anyone but you.

    That has nothing to do with it.

    Canada's income/debt ratio is better than that of the US.

    This is the main reason why the country's credit rating is higher.

    Yes it does. Canada's economy isn't performing as well as the US economy these days, so they eased borrowing rates. The US has been coming on strong since Trump's election, and so interest rates have risen against inflation expectations. Given Canada's tepid growth, no one is worried about inflation eroding treasury values, so borrowing costs have eased. When their GDP picks up, so will their borrowing costs, same as ours.

    You forgot to list the death total for America's civil war. Here is an interesting record of man's inhumanity to man

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis...olitical_purges_and_repressions_(politicides)

    Pretty hard to make the case that any system of government is more humane than any other.

    Socialism was responsible for the Civil War ?? Who knew ??

    BTW that's the most absurd statement I've heard in a long time.

    Not what I said of course. The civil war was presented as an example of where Democracy managed to kill off a large number of it's own citizens.

    Even you should have been able to figure that out.

    Of course you did! America killed over eight hundred thousand of its own citizens. Isn't just socialist or communist countries that manage to kill their own people. And we won't even get into the native american genocide or the death toll from the slave trade.

    Trying to pretend that any one government system has a lock on morality or immorality is just wishful thinking.

    WTF are you on about ?

    YOU made the claim that they were taking away our liberties and freedoms, then when called out you go off on some rant about other countries. Be specific about what freedoms and liberties are being taken away HERE and NOW like you claimed.

    What does it matter? You seem to be claiming that you can get everything you want without and surrendering of our Freedom and Liberty, so why are you still going on about this?

    It is your claim. And it's your personal opinion. Which means jack squat in reality. No one believes you.

    Exactly.

    They are making stuff up and expect someone to believe them.

    In other words, just like most RW "content" at PF.

    Oh, and back on topic, there actually were "key points" in Trump''s SOTU?

    All he did was read a Propaganda Speech.

    I cant force feed the history of nazi germany to you and the spotted cow

    The fascists believe in private ownership

    But have first claim on the wealth the private owners create

    And they redistribute the wealth based on national goals

    Does that sound like any socialist democrats in washington?

    ^Great Point.

    99% of the people who rant on this forum against "Communism", " Marxism", and "Socialism" have no basic clue as to what those terms even mean.
