  1. My background is scandinavian. norwegain, and danish
  2. WOW, i get taxed 28% and and i make $30k and im 22 paying for my own college. WITH NO HEALTHCARE! The reason i have no healthcare through college is beacsue you have to atlest take 12 credits and i average on 8-11 only because i have to support myself.
  3. how much do you averagely get taxed for making 90kr?
  4. Rancor is no match for a jedi consular lever 1 sceptor. geez!
  5. that was very interesting! but what about the person that isn't unionized, say he works at a painting or caprenter job, he wouldn't get paid the good money because hes not backed by the gov. so he gets paid whatever the boss decides like in a capitalist gov.?
  6. what do you mean precisely by socialist program? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I mean a socialist gov. like the one you are from. i was under the influence that the average worker gets paid more, gets their actual cut, so the top doesn't get it all, so their can't be a bill gates or enron exec with a swiss bank account.
  7. Yes i agree about the U.S. schools not being that great, i have a big opinion on this. i think it should be year-round, and shorter days and more small breaks in between. also pay the teachers more. also stop bogging the teachers down with tests and STOP THE MULTI CHOICE QUESTIONS! and free college. =less crime, less poverty, and the kids don't come back from summer break w/ no clue.
  8. for question 1: i heard that people in scandinavia will make more on avreage in a socialist program, is this false? if it is true can you tell me how and why.
  9. well that scares me to think that education is getting worse. since we control the earth to some extent, i wouldn't want it to be in the hands of idiots! how many years was it free in UK?
  10. "Why is it the state's responsibility to take care of the needy? Why should it be the state's responsibility to organize health care and education? Why should the state provide the safety nets? Why should private acteurs not be trusted too much with these things? Because all a private corporation cares about is earning money. Profit. Profit. And profit. That is all that will matter, and the human beings in the system will be overlooked and pushed back. We will not be the priority. Liquid means will. The state has a better possibility of staying neutral in cases like this. Its institutions need to stay afloat and prosper financially, of course, but this will be provided by the taxpayers, who are investing money into their own safety. There will be no need to start saving up for your children's college money the moment they are born, because education is free. There's no need to fear calling the ambulance, because you know an ambulance ride and two nights at a hospital will cost you $3000. It will be free. There's no need to fear having an accident that will render you unable to work - the state will help you, as is its responsibility." Well written jellybelly. but i do have some questions for anybody who lives in a socialist gov, that i have been wondering about. 1: How can a regular factory worker make more, or does he make more just to balance out the cost of healthcare and other expenses, because its going to bew taxed anyway. 2: You say that your state pays for college, i just want to hear it again just to be sure you mean college. also is education in a socialist country trated different? 3: Your opinion(or someone elses) on if its fair to the man who starts his own small business since he is taking the risk, if its fair to have to share more of the wealth, with his employees. feel free to whomever answers these questions to ellaborate on them, im very curious. thank you
  11. Bellbottoms i think your talking about, capris rise above the ankle.
  12. nah more like swamp thing (w00t)
  13. I might be late but... Most people relate to themselves more then anybody. therefore if people pick a character that resembles themself or someone they admire, then the game is more to them. I feel it when i watch a movie or listen to music or even read a book. if you can see yourself in that person easier then its easier to relate. For instance, my girlfriend hates blondes, she can't relate to them. and my sister is blonde and she doesn't care about brunnettes so neither of them are going to be willing to play eachother and enjoy it more. thats my hypothesis. any comments?
  14. I agree w/ you ,its not neccessarily a bad thing.
  15. Thats to bad man. Hopefully this patch comes out soon. thats also to bad when ive been saying that for nearly 2 months.
  16. Hm... as expected! But what could be the problem? Any ideas? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe someone put you on a restriction so you can't watch porn anymore
  17. communism is not suppose to be spontanous, theres steps, people never reallly jump into anything, always increments. just like platos cave. the man was dragged out, the matrix was mostly unrealistic when he took the pill willingly. first capitalism, then industrialization, then socialism then communism. the reason why the communist nations have failed is becasue it hasn't started like it should yet. it needs to start witht the working class rising above politically, which is possible in socialism. and not grabbing their guns to do so. Im just thinking, how could we know if its not possible? the system could always be tweaked and Marks and Engals really didn't set up a strict system, he left room to work w/. Of course the "real world" "communism" didn't work, its was your standard dictatorship who oppressed it people. and anytime you need to protect youir own regime from the people you govern, its doomed to have trouble. Its sad that lenin got away with starving 2Million to industrialize his country for "a Means to an end" how scarey.
  18. I don;t think anyone here thinks that the USSR version of "communism" was a healthy way to live. its generally universal how people feel about it. but we have been defending socialism. By the way, what do you think the USSR at the beggining stages of Communism was? socialist dictator, capitalist perhaps? feel free to express your opinion and make a constructive argument my ears are open. i can't seem to place my thumb on it. im thinking whle lenin was still around that it was a socialist dictator with bits of capitalism and military.
  19. Strength: 11 Dexterity: 11 Constitution: 10 Intelligence: 15 Wisdom: 16 Charisma: 11 Thats if 10 is average. 1-20 pts possible
  20. Don't mean to butt in, but how is denmark taking a right turn? and how effective is the healthcare system in scandinavia?
  21. Your last sentence about WHY people think this way also puzzles me... i think about it alot because i know so many people who think like that also. and when kids have questions they go to the most obvious source, their parents. not a book or a intellectual. and once you make your mind up the FIRST time... its just that much tougher to change it. becasue your looking at it biased from there and getting all the ammo that supports it from there on. Thats my hypothesis on the human mindset.
  22. Agree with alot of it jelly, its strange that we have this crppled healthcare system, do you think anyone would sue it if it was universal? goodluck. As of welfare... i believe that there should be one also. Educatiuon itied with healthcare! its so importatnt for crime, success, happiness! To put your hope in private schools for just a few kids is wrong! america isn;t united when it stands. but if properly educated it will.
  23. ok wil right now but as i do, can you tell me how effective you healthcare system is so i can have some ammo when i debate socialism.
  24. My boss has the same views as tak does... i don't know where it roots from. Could it be fundmemtalism creeping in again? why would the people who it could help (75%easy) reject it as nonesense? where could that belief come from? It would be difficult to change, but what doesnt change? isnt the meaning of life to be happy, so why not make it easier to be? Edit: I dont know how to respond to mkreku's post. all i can say is alot of people in every country will believe they live in the best country. i personally don't beleive i as an amercian live in the best country.
  25. Ok think about if for your kids and grand kids sake... do you want them to DEFINATELY have healthcarea and a retirement aid, amd make a better public education system so they can make better decision and not get lied too, because thje more one knows the harder it is to lie to that person. the more valuable that person is to make decisions for his community. or what the heck, take a chance. what we do while we have the power matters. we are living on a thin line. screw the past. we blame ourselves if we dont make it better for them.
