What do you mean when you say "England has been fooled by the religion of peace?" True Christianity is the religion of peace. I'm not talking about the "Christianity" used to justify war. I'm talking about the way of Jesus. England has been fooled by America's use of fake Christianity to draw them into unjust wars.

Islam is commonly referred to as the religion of peace. England is in danger of being overrun by Islam. Haven't you heard of the hundreds of English girls raped and forced into prostitution by Islam in England while the government has refused to prosecute them?

No, you missed the point--the point is that socialism has not been successful anywhere in the world and that it is corrupt and would lead to more corruption and bankruptcy in Washington DC. Why haven't you mentioned North Korea or Cuba as socialistic paradises?
You're confusing social democracy with communism, which is like confusing conservatism with fascism. The former - social democracy - has been successful in Scandinavia and the UK after WW2, the latter - communism - not.

I suppose these guys just convicted themselves then:

Child sex grooming network convicted

Oxford sex grooming gang jailed for life

But I thought we were talking about the merits of social democracy, not Islam? I'm not sure why you are bringing the latter into the discussion

No, I am not confusing socialism and communism--I am just wondering why you have not expressed admiration for North Korea and Cuba--two socialist states who have taken the next step. What about Venezuela--is it socialist or communist?

As I told you before, the public votes for all kinds of things and Islam as the religion of peace is another notion bought by the Europeans and perhaps a majority of Americans.

I haven't expressed admiration for North Korea or Cuba because they are communist dictatorships with no respect for the rule of law and are thus a world apart from European social democracies. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?

It seems that Switzerland has done a better job of eliminating poverty than the white European socialistic countries. Even the white European socialistic countries have not been able to lift their Islamic immigrants out of poverty.

As for Cuba and North Korea, Cuba is a romantic getaway for some Brits. If you are going to have rule by intellectuals (socialism), then it seems even more efficient to just go to one dear leader. Is Venezuela a brown Latino socialist paradise or a communist state?

Does Scandinavian Socialism Work?

It turns out that Denmark has a high crime rate, a stagnant economy and a lower per capita income than the USA--so leave it to the Brits to follow Denmark, huh?

There aren't any white socialist European countries. There are some European countries with social democrat governments. Again, you don't seem to know the difference between the two

You guys dont understand the failure of the United States is the Corporate Communists who not only voted for billion dollar bailouts for companies that were about to fail due to their own terrible decisions, but then subsequently have done nothing to prevent the ongoing and future theft. By destroying this very tenant of capitalism -- that the losers actually lose so that new ideas, people, companies can become winners -- they have now crippled our economy and kept millions out of work. And that in a nutshell is the problem with our country.....it is real, it has happened & is continuing to happen. So what does Trump do to correct the problem, drain the swamp & get the economy moving, why he brings these scum into the White House to continue on in their extravagances. (Tom Price, Steve Menucian, Cohn, Wall Streeters etc).... they all enrich themselves at the expense of the middle class taxpayers.

I don't call Islam the religion of peace do you? On the other hand, I don't believe all Muslims are terrorists either. True Christianity is the religion of peace but it also has been distorted by some to justify killing. The problem with either religion is extremists doing terrible things under its name.

Ha!ha! I doubt if you are moving to Denmark. You tell me if Denmark pays their fair share in NATO? I don't think that Germany does. Why do people vote for these lefties? Probably they want something for nothing or else they have been fooled as they have by the notion that Islam is the religion of peace. England has been fooled by the religion of peace, wouldn't you say? Is it true that Denmark has even higher taxes than England?
The bottom line is people are better off and happier in Scandinavian countries than in America. They have less inequality, less violent masacres, better healthcare and better education. We could learn from them but never will because we claim to be the best in everything and can't accept reality.

No they aren't. No one is migrating to them. We have to beat off all the migrants that want to come here. Some times you just make stuff up.
I resent your remarks. There's no basis for saying that except that you require that everyone must agree with you in order to be right. That's one of the major problems in America today.

If the U.S. polled the wealth of all its citizens and shared it according to need what type of system would we be operating under?
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. That's Communism. A Socialist country is where the state owns the industries. Just in the last couple of days you've confused Democracy with a Republic and just now Communism with Socialism.

Explains a lot, that.
