jbluhm86 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Last I checked, the topic had to do with Trump and Vietnam, not Obama and all your other tinfoil hat bullshit... And funny enough, you're the one who bitches all the time about staying on topic...

I was branching out on the topic. Mocking Trump for the bone spur thing is childish, typical of you. The OP is about Trump getting honored in Vietnam, then you changed the subject to Trump and his bone spur thing, then since you never criticize your dem socialist heroes, I changed the person, but explaiined how obamao also avoided Vietnam. The subject was never about avoiding the draft, but you brought it up; I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbluhm86 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 "Branching out on the topic"...sure thing. It seems you operate under two sets of rules: one set where you accuse people of not staying on topic, while the other set, you go off topic and state that its actually "branching out". 🤔 "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." — George Orwell, "Animal Farm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but if your opening remark was taking a shot at Trump, then Obama becomes fair game and "staying on topic" goes out the window. Oh...and fuck Obama.

If it's power, well..for awhile the soviet union was on equal footing with the U.S. The reason the U.S won the cold war is cause we got the world on the dollar so we could print the world's reserve currency, therefor being able to outspend the rooskies. If it's standard of living, well...have you looked at a standard of living list? There's more than a few "socialist" or "democratically socialist" countries there. But those are different people too, they're not materialistic shitcunts like americans so ofc they take care of their country better. Socialism and capitalism exist on a continuum btw. "NO" country has ever been 100% socialist nor 100% capitalist. Knowing that fact is the product of schooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you told him. lol You have some figuring out of your own to do. Forget that China may be the only full blown socialist nation with a top 10 GDP, the poverty level is the bottom line, not GDP. The World Bank began tracking poverty in China in 1981. In that year, 88.3 percent of China’s population lived on less than $1.90 a day (roughly 870 million people). Push the threshold up a little bit and poverty in China was even more striking: 99.1 percent of China’s population lived on less than $3.10 a day (over 980 million people). The last year for which the World Bank has official data is 2010, and the transformation, as you can see in the line graph above, is extraordinary. In 2010, only 11.2 percent (almost 150 million people) lived on less than $1.90 a day. Not shown above is that 27.2 percent (almost 360 million people) lived on less than $3.10 a day. However, the problem with these data sets should already be clear. If you factor in population growth, you can make the claim that China has lifted 800 million people out of poverty if you define poverty as living on less than $1.90 or $3.10 a day. This doesn’t say anything about how well those lifted out of poverty are doing. A rural household living on $1.91 a day by this standard wouldn’t be counted as suffering from extreme poverty, even though by any objective measure a household earning that much on an annual basis would be cripplingly poor.

Evidence of success could be the thousands of foreign nationals on waiting lists yearning to become US citizens, for opportunity, not for free stuff. Not certain if foreigners are busting down the door to become citizens of Russia China or Argentina. Do you believe that the reason so many foreigners want to come here is because of free stuff, or because capitalism works? By your "Americans are too materialistic" comment you've unknowingly demonstrated that capitalism is the way to go. We are a product of our environment. The fact that we are materialistic is because of the vast abundance that America has always had to offer, we are surrounded by abundance....which of course is due to the success of capitalism, not socialism. Doubt this poor Russian family will ever become materialistic. Hooray for socialism! LOL True that no country is 100% capitalist...things like social security is a social program, and the US public school system which happens to be a social program that has been a raging success.

Without THAT....our capitalism would not have created what you attribute solely to it. It wouldn't have, and any economist won't argue that. The money we've created out of thin air is what has led to this "abundance"....and it is a bubble.
