Gas is higher in most places there than $6.00. It was $6.00 or more last time I was there in the 90's
Something started from nothing. It's settled science. Also, the same scientist say that it was a one time thing and the conditions were just right. The probability of it happening the same way it did here on earth again is probably impossible. Lucky us.
Pretentious atheists strike again! So it turns out historians, a vast majority of whom concede that Jesus Christ existed, were wrong, and that pastafarian, hedonistic atheists had it right the whole time. Flying Spaghetti Monster, bro!
So you freely admit the only problem with taking similar steps in America is that, "it's not realistic to ever think Americans are going to be ok with that." Got it.
Um, average effective tax rate in USA is 24% per household.
Paid vacation time varies widely in the US. Many US employers are climbing on board the paid parental leave train. President Trump's budget calls for 6 weeks. Of course, jerks in the Democrat-controlled House probably disapprove.
How much more of this BS post shall I destroy?
Saw this headline on Drudge...
Surprising number trust AI to make better decisions than politicians...
What number would surprise you? Anything less than 100%? I'd trust a trash can to make better decisions than politicians. At least a trash can probably won't screw anything up.
Upon actually clicking the headline, the study was from the UK and it's 25%.

Yes, McCain was heroic for his Vietnam service. He was also an arrogant resentful politician who chose to act against his own principles and constituency just to spite Trump, whom he hated.
It's not dishonorable to point that out.

No... what is it with you leftists, you literally can't discuss anything without trying to create some stupid straw man to assail against.
What I am telling you basically is that in all your experienced wisdom, you don't have a clue of what you are talking about. You don't bother to even try to think things through at all, not even a token or cursory attempt to, so you just try to oversimplify everything to fit your ideology, assume the other person is nefarious and has the same character flaws you do, and then in the end are forced to quell freedom of speech because you can't contend with reality.
SOrry you partying bros, your 105 IQ just won't cut it here. Show me how precisely how your stupid ideas will work that we all need to rally behind lest we be left behind by your lunacy and I'll buy my 30 dollar che guavera shirt at american outfitters and stand right by ya.
***here I'm not attacking you per se, just your kind.... it never ceases to amaze me how dumb you are whilst being so certain in you being correct about anything, your damn ideals aren't new they are old ideas generated from smart but vile francogerman pseudo-intellectuals who prey on and expose your gullibility***
What you wrote, and what you posted in that link isn’t the same thing. That is only Norway , and it didn’t match what you said. Now look up the rest of the nations of Scandinavia
Elizabeth Warren has to be the absolute nerdiest white woman I’ve ever seen. The most cringe square.
Her manufactured beer thing was embarrassing but you also know you can just see her putting her hands on her hips and saying, “By golly, I’m going to do a rain dance and bring back communism and end this darn racism.”

I wish a Trump woman would punch her in the face. I'd like to do it, but that's misogynistic
How am I creating a straw man when I'm just quoting you? You said it, not me.
You’re posting links that don’t say what you wrote. You wrote that over 70% of Scandinavians were atheist or agnostic. That isn’t what those links say.
70% of Swedes belong to a Christian church, 45% of Danes do, and 60% of Norwegians do.
That’s a big difference from over70% are agnostic or atheist.
Some quotes directly from the page. "Approximately 67.8% of the population in 2015 had no religious affiliation," "63% of Dutch people think that religion does more harm than good," "67.8% of the Dutch population considers themselves to be irreligious."

“Christians comprised 43.8% of the total population and were divided between Catholics with 23.7% and the members of the Protestant Church of the Netherlands with 15.5%, members of other Christian denominations were the 4.6%”

I had a bad day at work. I'm sick of this shit! I want to quit and go to the land of candy canes, gumdrops, and flying unicorns and let AOC and Co. take care of me happily ever after.

According to the Wikipedias, in 2013, 71% of science is funded by industry. Do you think that funding is inconsequential to the result?
(hint: you wouldn't believe for any other topic)
What is your obsession with Norway? Seriously.

You can't make this stuff up. No way. No how.
I’m a huge fan of Democrats citing Scandanavian countries all the time (I’ve got this user blocked so don’t know his context) without a hint of looking at demographics.
So you don't even know what a straw man argument is.
It is a straw man because you are attempting to boil my entire post to one sentence which I didn't even say, I never said the only problem nor did I imply any primacy to that particular sentence, but yes it is unrealistic to expect Americans to all of sudden become un-American. Also that was expounding more on the uniform and shared cultural identity a Scandinavian country has with respect to homogeneity, not about the many real problems we would face by implementing European style social democratic policies in the US.
I said it not you is precisely right; you don't have any experience of what Europe is actually like. No appreciation whatsoever as to why it's normal working class people protesting being taxed to death every weekend in France. No appreciation for the problems they will continue to face as they continue to import a lower class to sustain their economies. No appreciation for what free actually means. You want to have your cake and eat it too without realizing it doesn't get better than what you got. If you have the time and resources to shitpost on the Catpaw, the only person stopping you from being whatever you want is you, no amount of government handouts are going to help you be any less miserable.
Was thinking we have nothing to worry about as far as bernie goes running for president. He'll be dead not even half way through his term. The guys head looks like its coming out of his sternum.
Come to think of it, saw a recent pic of Biden and hes starting to look like the guy that chose the wrong cup off indiana jones and the last crusade.
Warren...lol. at that townhall someone asked about her being racist to get that faculty job at harvard, and she couldnt really answer for it. Trump would melt her on stage.
So far heres what we got from empty suit Beto:
Person asks question.
Beto: let me answer your question by asking a question. What would you like the answer to be?
Person: um
Beto: I'm a furry
Hoebama harris is just saying whatever sticks.

Down to Beto and Harris. I think Dem elite want Harris. But think they'll have to accept Beto. He has more love from msm and social media than anyone I recall. Even more than Obama.
Don't know how you stop that when you (Harris) depends on those same entities to carry her. Not happening unless there's a major turn

No way. The "Yang Gang" is about to start a revolution.
I know what a straw man is it’s setting up a windmill to tilt at. I merely quoted you, getting to the heart of your issue. You restated it for emphasis, “but yes it is unrealistic to expect Americans to all of a sudden become un-American.” Nothing about higher taxes is un-American. We’ve had periods of lower taxes and periods of extremely high tax rates. The trickledown bullshit we’ve been trying for the last few decades isn’t any more American than Eisenhower’s 91% top tax rate.
Will be interesting to watch the power struggle. Beto will probably really kill Bernie. He's basically a younger more charismatic version with much the same message.
