What exactly is a "nig nog?" You asked this: "By what right do you hold a nation collectively responsible for the deeds of their ancestors?" And went on to illustrate that he is exactly right when you typed the paragraph above. 5yr
Zen, let me apologize for attacking your sensibilities. Allow me to rephrase the point: Which one of those "top ten places to live" on the list would you agree are actually SOCIALIST as described in the thread's title ? P.S., I'm half German.
Is this a joke? I don't believe that you even understand what socialism is, lol. Most of the places you list are the most capitalistic places on the planet, lol. Here is a ranking of the top capitalistic countries on the planet: http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking The USA is currently in 9th place. Out of 180+ countries on the planet, Switzerland is ranked 5th and they have 3 cities on your list, lol. New Zealand is ranked 4th most capitalist country on the planet, lol. Germany/Austria are the lowest ranking on your list and they are 23rd/21st. Canada is ranked 6th most capitalistic country on the planet. Denmark is ranked 8th most Capitalistic country on the planet. So basically, almost your entire list are in countries which are objectively ranked as more capitalist than the USA. As a comparison, let's look at the actua socialist countries. The top 10 socialist countries are: 1) North Korea 2) Zimbabwe 3) Cuba 4) Eritrea 5) Venezuela 6) Burma 7) Libya 8) "Democratic" Republic of Congo 9) Iran 10) Timor-Lise Those are your socialist meccas.
Most of the stuff I'll post on here are for shitz and giggles with the occasional fishing expedition. Since the general public (and ET'ers?) consider all of Europe to be a gang of socialistic atheists, why not run with the title and see what happens. I'm surprised Oslo wasn't in the top 10. I gotta say Bone's post was a winner. Exterminated jews, wow!
it's because of hippies like you that they built the new Walmart in Mt. Pilot instead of here in Mayberry.
So you're not saying what Lennin/Stalin, Moa, Hitler and Castro said, which is: Socialism, socialism, national socialism and socialism, is the key to utopia on planet earth. Got ya.
Socialism == Preventing race to the bottom. Capitalism == Promoting race to the top. Globalization is zero sum. Capitalism is NOT zero sum.
