If the Chomskys of the world had their way, we'd be a socialist hole like Venezuela or Greece.
“The United States is extremely lucky that no honest, charismatic figure has arisen,” Chomsky went on. “Every charismatic figure is such an obvious crook that he destroys himself, like McCarthy or Nixon or the evangelist preachers. If somebody comes along who is charismatic and honest this country is in real trouble because of the frustration, disillusionment, the justified anger and the absence of any coherent response. What are people supposed to think if someone says ‘I have got an answer, we have an enemy’? There it was the Jews. Here it will be the illegal immigrants and the blacks. We will be told that white males are a persecuted minority. We will be told we have to defend ourselves and the honor of the nation. Military force will be exalted. People will be beaten up. This could become an overwhelming force. And if it happens it will be more dangerous than Germany. The United States is the world power. Germany was powerful but had more powerful antagonists. I don’t think all this is very far away. If the polls are accurate it is not the Republicans but the right-wing Republicans, the crazed Republicans, who will sweep the next election.”
donald trump is the one

Chomsky is twice as intelligent as any redneck right wing nut, tell me when Trump can give proven facts about how language is developed.
Blah blah. Nerds are for the good times. Today we need someone who will put food on the table and take no from anyone. We need trump.
Save your pansy ass nerds for another time
America is a capitalist hole for many 10Ms of Americans.
You communists are just as bad, capitalism and communism must be defeated.
sieg heil
Ralph Nader put dubya and head in the WH
or (gasp) Denmark or Norway...
That would be horrible.![]()
Denmark. the highest taxes in the world where citizens joke that you work from Monday - Thursday lunchtime for the state coffers and the rest for yourself. also one of the biggest per capita coal burning countries in the world
Norway. A xenophobe racist country that mainly relies on oil money and lets its lazy people retire early, work less and call in sick even more. not to mention the suicide rates and one of the biggest massacres in recent times
![]()
Because the USA is such a grand utopia compared to those places![]()
why aren't more ppl rushing to move to Norway or Denmark then??? I've never EVER heard someone say, "I'm planning to move to Denmark/Norway"
they are overrated holes. Life in the USA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Life there
I'll tell you another thing. Ask ALL the fresh immigrants on those 2 countries that they have a chance to move to the US. 100% of them would immediately take it.
60 hour weeks is better than early retirement? Reminds me of this stupid car commercial I saw where they were bagging on Europeans, ooh, you can keep your month long vacations because we can work longer hours to buy Cadillacs in America.
Tell me when Chomsky can build a $10 billion real-estate empire.
and what do you do once retired? there is absolutely NOTHING to do there. I've been there. Even their TV sucks. no wonder ppl seem to shoot themselves in the head once retirement comes![]()
It is, tbh. Greatest country in the world. Especially after President Trump makes it even greater.
Looks like there's lots of great outdoors to do. Judging a country by the TV is kind of strange.
Certainly not if you value free at the point of use medical care and some wealth equality!
disagree. local TV shows the lifestyle and culture of the place.
enjoy the late June - early August summer season![]()
Actually, norway doesn't really "rely" on oil money. You might want to do a bit more reading. The saved up the oil royalties for years, and built up a sovereign wealth fund with it. Actual oil revenues today are vanishingly small part of their budget.
Both countries rank among the highest in terms of life-expectancy, well-being, and, well, happiness.
Say what you want. Both are also better about improving the lives of poor people than the US is. The US, despite the propaganda of the right, really sucks at moving people up the income/wealth ladder.
The "land of opportunity" really isn't, especially for the poor.
sure healthcare is great. until you need a major treatment/procedure done. then you go in the back of the line and pray your survive until its your turn.
Great, a President who loves corporate business and values it above everything else!
Is that what they tell you in America, that all these socialist holes in Europe that have free at the point of use healthcare usually have lepers lying in the streets unattended too because they turned up too late at the back of the line?Besides, the places that have had overcrowding of patients and too little staff resulting in unnecessary deaths are because of conservatives like Cameron who are too cheap to invest in the public sector and more nursing jobs for the sake of a transition to private healthcare.
been in both countries. Lazy racist people in Norway and too many ppl, too little space and too many taxes in Denmark.
no thanks.
Yeah what an asshole for creating something!
