Sharp One, you're polish? Your country houses a parliament in which the by far two most powerful parties are the conservatives (PO) and the national conservatives (PiS). now tell me, which party do you support?

You're right, it should be made legal, I agree.Newsflash... there is such a thing as a LEGAL immigration. You are advocating for inventing a wheel here.What I'm advocating is open borders. Totally open. For anyone.Oh really? Would you allow few million Russians into your country with full citizenship privileges?Yes. Why not?

Government spending on infrastructure is actually a good long-term economic investment though (not that private infrastructure wouldn't be better, but that's a different topic). Massive spending on consumption has little-to-no long term benefits, and all government spending has long term consequences. I'm not gonna say that refugees are the devil, but the "economy grew because the government is splurging to take care of them" argument is poor proof to the contrary. This is especially true if you bring up that the government COULD have spent all that money exclusively on Germans; which would have been much better for them. All the growth and none of the turmoil. In the previous years government HAS spend all the money on Germans, and we still have had a bigger economic growth this year. And, the German government ended up with another 19 billion unused euro. Again, much more money than before... Usually there was either no money left or even just debt. This has, economically speaking, been a great year for Germany, the refugees are a big cause for that, and it would be ignorant to denie that. And remember the refugees don't get any special treatment, Germans in the same situation would get similar if not better treatment. EDIT: Heck, even unemployment is lower than previously. EDIT II: So if you look at the past years' data, it seems that the statement "the government COULD have spent all that money exclusively on Germans; which would have been much better for them" is simply empirically wrong.

The poor thing is too slow... If you're running normally, it will fall back pretty quickly. It's sort of sad, and annoying to an extend.

Weeeeell.... On political compass I got like -7/-7

Here leftists get paid by our jewish elitist masters to spread cultural marxism and genocide whites through twitter and reddit posts. If you want in speak to Soros at the weekly meeting and he'll hook you up. Why would elites decide to pay Marxists rather than right wingers? For Marxists they somehow need to work around the entire ideology, fromright wingers they probably get support anyway, so that should be far easier.

I hereby make a proposal: How about we completely ignore the followers of ideologies from here on out and focus exclusively on the ideologies themselves, as well as maybe their head figures and representatives? So no more talking about "the liberals", "the conservatives", "the libertarians", "the socialists" and so on but rather let's talk about "liberalism", "conservatism", "libertarianism", "socialism" and so on.

The real question is, how could a debate over how a country should be run turn into imbecile bitching (includes me... More of a sentiment towards society, not specific people)?

There's a joke/saying where I live: If someone who is new to the country, doesn't speak the language and has no connections, manages to snag away a job from you, you deserve it. Love it

Well... When Syria is habitable, many will probably want to go back.... Maybe some become German citizens and stay.

The perfect hat for him: The dunryd demon. It fits style wise (in comparison to the other similar helmets it has more of a steel colouring, rather than the usual letter theme), it suits the dragon theme, and it adds to intellect.

You're just mad, because I didn't mention Angela Merkel. She just a second rate Tarja Halonen. She surley was, until she opened the borders and kept them open. Now that is an admirable action

As my radio just told me, the german economy expirienced an unexpected high groth. One of the main reasons for this is that the refugees are now starting to get settled here, boosting the economy. Rejoice everyone, they're good people. Anyway, I hope his takes away some of the arguments agaisnt refugees. Their overall helpfulness for Germany is now a fact.

We get it kirottu, you are able to memorise female names. Congrats

Killing Rosa? The Rosa that comes to my mind is Rosa Luxemburg, how did I kill her? Different people did that already. I did read a bit of her works. Interesting stuff. Anyway, I feel like Trumps target audience mainly is the workint class. He promised to go against globalism (in effect, "bring back jobs" and all that), he promised to take on Wall Street and the big capital. Now, Wall Street sits in cabinet. I do not see how this cabinet is supposed to help the working man, I really do not. If the cabinet is to give us any idea of the Trump administration, then the Trump administration is doomed to fail, in the sense that it looses its voters. Also, "right populism" is not an ideology.

Cooooooooomeeee to us No, really. We have some very attractive castles.But to be honest, there are four cities you need to visit: London, Paris, Athens and/or Rome. As a startermaybe London? The pound is getting cheaper by the day ( ), most museums are free and everyone speaks english. Then Paris, Paris is simply one of (and in my opinion the most) beautiful city in Europe. Athens and Rome to take you into the old times, you don't get that in the states. Imagine walking around 2000 year old architecture and asking yoursel how this is more beautiful than 99.9% of todays stuff. Personally I prefer the greek style, I find the romans to be too glamerous in their architecture in comparison, but its a matter of taste.

1. For what reasonhave you/would you have voted for President elect Donald Trump? 2. Do you feel that the cabinet that Mr. Trump is putting together is representative of these reasons? 3. What do think is Mr. Trump's target audience? 4. Do you think that the cabinett Mr. Trump is putting together reflects the wishes and desires of said audience?

Let's agree on 2/3 count?

You're running the game during the night, doesn't count Also, I'm back. Real life sorted itself out. Now back to work. Happy to see these forums so active. Looking forward to getting back to updating the guide and having good talks. Love ya all. Happy new year, even though I'm a bit late.

Merry Christmas you beautiful lot. And even to those not Christian (I'm one of you), we can still celebrate the memory of Christmas 1914. I recommend all of you to have a look into it if you don't know already, it's quite a touching story.

It's seems many agree with me that capitalism isn't the best solution http://www.debate.org/opinions/is-capitalism-failing

Well, then please explain to me the point more clearly. And yes, obviously a horse carriage without a horse isn't a horse carriage, but maybe it's you who didn't get my point? Also, I'm happy to report that a western democratic liberatarian capitalist country that failed came to my mind: Weimar Germany (as said in the edit )

I can't think of a classical liberal society that has ever become a failed state. Maybe the issue isn't that strict adherence to ideology tanked certain societies, but rather said societies had adopted a poor ideology. Weimar Germany Also, Our society as it is now has barely yet existed. It is far too early to judge wether it will be able to sustain itself. And besides... We are no purley democratic/capitalist countries either. Pure democracy is the rule of the majority, yet we have laws that protect minorities and systems like the electoral college in the US and parliamentarian democracy in Germany and other countries. Pure capitalism is defied in many countries by public services like public healthcare, public transport, public education, minimum wage and so on. For the countries we live in work great, but they are not following a purley capitalist/democratic ideology. Besides, we can't just look at the winners and then assume that our society works. Capitalism still has the same problems it did in the industrial revolution, only it moved to an international scale. That man knew what the biggest problem with horse carriages was: The horse. So, most likely his vision was that of a carriage without horses, which is essentially where we came from. This is actually a perfect example of why utopian thinking helps: the idea of the perfect horse carriage (one without a horse) has driven engineers to come up with that perfect carriage, and they did so because they had a vision.
