Pretty sure 27000 more people voted with their feet to the superior country. I don't blame them though, grass always seems greener on the other side to a Marxist all eaten up with jealousy.

Population of Swedish from America?? 20,990

Game..set...match.

Checkmate.

Now don't attempt to slash your autonomous body up or the government will put you in chains.

Go ahead..see if you can get away with slashing your autonomous wrists...try it.

I see you have had your share of prison guards laughing at you. Bodily autonomy has always been a joke argument. Nobody has absolute rights to their own body...anywhere on the planet. Have fun gagging on that argument as the prison guards forcibly feed you when you go on a hunger strike. Or when the paramedics take you away for slashing up your own skin and wrists and force you to heal.

Sorry, nobody has any real bodily autonomy as long as the government has guns and can tell you what to do. Try pulling that bodily autonomy nonsense argument in a prison and see how many chuckles you'll get from the guards. Try it anywhere in the military. Go on.

does a woman also have bodily autonomy "first and foremost" if she would rather choose to sit on her autonomous ass instead of feeding the baby after its born? nope?

I mean it will be at some point in the future, but we can handle it for now.

A law requiring Planned Parenthood to show the "mother" an ultrasound paid by the government could prevent a majority of abortions. Some studies say 70-80% of women changed their mind after seeing the ultrasound.

Gillibrand and Biden are not intersectional enough to survive the DNC primary.

Even if it stops a mere 5% of the total amount of illegal invaders, it's still far worth a one time payment  of 5 billion to make a dent in the 100 billions lost annually. Not even counting the benefits of not having to deal with marxist invaders which you can't put a dollar value on.

Also your Cato report shows that ICE is currently doing a terrible job by not deporting all illegal incarcerated invaders instead of some of them. Why should we give these criminals free housing instead of a jet plane to Guatemala?

Deport the invaders. Build the wall. Maga.

That's fine, as long as you admit there are > zero illegal invaders flooding the nation with their marxist poison.

There is also no evidence that a wall would stop or deter zero terrorists or illegal invaders.

Still waiting on that evidence.

until then I'm going with a range of 10-50% deterred. Considering green cards account for around 45% illegal invaders.

Where are your facts that a border wall stops zero criminals or terrorists?

A good compromise would be banning abortions that cause unnecessary unusual and cruel pain to the fetus like saline injections.

I didn't say people don't like change, I said people need genuine outrage to make changes, not fake outrage.

People are not outraged enough to destroy the current monopoly structures in place for healthcare.

I suppose if you outlawed the private competition, then the people would be forced to accept the "new normal" for healthcare.

Even Canada healthcare allows the parliamentary members to opt out and use private health care. If public health care was really superior in Canada, why would they opt out? I mean it looks bad for their political image plus they have to pay out of pocket.

The old joke in Canada is that the health care in Canada is superior...until you get really sick.

I don't trust government statistics that say government run health care is better than market healthcare, especially if the politicians pay for their own health care instead of using government healthcare.

Same thing with schools. If the politicians generally don't use public schools, then I don't trust public schools. Did you know that the last presidential kid that went to public school was Jimmy Carter's kid in the 70's?

I trust people I can pay.

Botched abortion survivors have some chilling stories.

Why do you think these "woke" billionaires like to influence government? Who do you think is really in control here? It certainly aint the common man.

And no it's not a fair tax when corporations and people wealthy enough to offshore their assets are exempt and middle class families are not.

Again, your issue is with a rich person just throwing away all his hard earned money to his useless unproductive children.

That is textbook jealousy. Why do you get to decide what a person wants to do with the things he makes?

Also, why on earth would you assume an unproductive child getting unearned wealth from his parents a good thing? In many cases, the child leads a destructive short and painful life. The internet has thousands of examples of destroyed lives from lottery winners who suddenly came into unearned wealth and then destroyed themselves. Are you really sorry for these inheritees, or just jealous?

Lol whatever makes you happy dealing with your jealousy. Someone else out producing you.. and then setting the entire thing on fire if they so chose to do that shouldn't cause you to lose one minute of sleep.. unless you were all eaten up on the inside with jealousy.

Your jealousy is appreciated. 

Honestly, public education won't change in America until the people really want it to change.  America's problems are definitely 1st world problems and trivial compared to most nations. Johnny can't read because he doesn't have to read to support himself and his family. America doesn't have a starving class of people like other nations might have.

Like I said before. Who do you trust? Politicians bought and paid for by rich lobbyists? How about your neighbor? How about a lawyer that works for you on a 33% commission, do you trust him? Who do you trust? 

More government is the ultimate reason why healthcare costs so much already. Medicare for all will be gasoline on the existing fire.

so what? why do you want elite politicians bought by rich people to manipulate you using your jealousy? Who do you trust?

You don't really believe politicians do you when they say they care about you? Money talks and bullshit walks. What's in your wallet Capital One?

Read the post above mine. It explains how the rich can hold property in perpetuity through trusts and corporations while family owned land is given the royal shaft.

The rich are smart enough to manipulate the jealousy of the common man to work in their favor. Who do you think actually makes the regulations and the laws ultimately? Who do you trust?

Not exactly Europe though. All of South America Was influenced through Simon Bolivar with hispanic governance, which focused on limited private ownership and government control of most things. Personal liberty wasn't even on the radar.

South America and the USA gained their independence around the same time, but South America has yet to understand the value of individual liberty, individual responsibility, and the right to exist without government control over your life. South Americans have an incredibly hard time acquiring property with an insane amount of government regulation. Even if they manage to gain the title deed to a property, the next government regime can simply take it away. And you can forget handing anything over to your children in many South American countries. When individuals have no access to capital, and they have no collateral to loan against, they don't have the opportunities that Americans had. South America was mostly run by elites in government with much less freedom or control from individual citizens. This transcended into your dictator tropes..Peron, Che, Somoza, Pinochet, Diaz, Santa Anna, Chavez... and countless others. 

So yah it's a crappy place if you love individual freedom, but the income equality never translated to wealth for any of the countries, because wealth isn't created by simply printing money and equalizing everyone's income. That is how you create inflation like in Venezuela. Wealth is created with productivity, which can be achieved either through the whip or through the freedom to produce however much you want and be allowed to keep most of it, no matter how many jealous people want to rob you. I don't prefer the government control of the whip.     

America can't have good education because the government runs most of it. It isn't cheap either because teachers are allowed to form labor monopolies so they don't have to be competent or efficient. (almost half of a child's education dollars goes straight to wasteful administrative costs).

California and New York can't have cheap housing because the elites in government operate like South America with hundreds of regulations, bribes, and kickbacks involved in the process of new home construction.

America can't have affordable healthcare because insurance companies and the AMA doctor's union have paid off the government to restrict competition so that the insurance companies can drive the costs up with no fear of cheaper alternatives, and the Hospitals get to dictate exactly how those funds must be spent. Like the education system, healthcare in the USA is mainly run by monopolies.

You might see a few charter schools emerge to make a dent in the problem, but the public teacher's unions are strong enough to either shut them down completely, or restrict them to a tiny fraction of the education market. Similarly, local clinics are constantly suppressed by the power of the AMA labor lobby, and the insurance companies have no choice but to play along, or get their licenses to operate revoked by the state.

Canadians don't have guns either, so the government can collect whatever the Canadian public will bear, until they have yellow shirt protests like in France.

Most people don't know how to use trusts to avoid estate taxes. Estate taxes are a tool to suppress poor people and ignorant people.

It's not a fair tax at all, and anyone that supports it is either rich or a sheep.

It's not a secret that the rise in crime and single parent families was caused by the war on poverty.

Definitely Thetts

Watch the 1st 3 minutes of this. It's really funny.

France kinda liked us until we made fun of their guillotines.

There exists zero scientific data that shows the color of your skin has anything to do with the DNA affecting intelligence. There is no scientific direct cause and effect. There is no way that you can put a person's skin under a shade chart and say definitively what their DNA is regarding intelligence and back it up with real science.

A brilliant argument. You totally convinced me that the founding fathers were egalitarians with your insightful quips.

This is a casual forum, not a college course. I can cut and paste any damn thing I want if it mirrors my argument. I really don't care about accreditations in a casual forum because arguing through authority is what college kids do. If you want to dodge the arguments, just say so, or better yet, don't reply at all.

Also, SPLC is currently thoroughly debunked as a scam organization that peddles arbitrary hate to the tune of millions of dollars, but you probably already knew that, smart as you appear to be.

Not that you would ever be accused of presenting an argument solely by appealing to fraudulent authority. That would be beneath you.

Equality for the founding fathers meant equality under the law. Period.

Absolutely nothing indicates that the founding fathers were social egalitarians.

What is this bullcrap statement that says the American founding fathers were egalitarians? They owned people. Try not taking a phrase out of context before making a completely baseless claim about the founding fathers. 

The founding fathers wanted freedom from King George, and wanted to create a nation that was free from the tyranny of big government.

The entire constitution is a laundry list protecting American citizens from government. That was liberalism back then.

Today's liberalism is a bunch of postmodernist horse crap explaining why we need identity groups to enforce equality over different unequal individuals and enforce equal outcomes using a tyrannical big government to implement those egalitarian ideas.

I'm against any form of inheritance tax. The country needs the kinds of people that will produce more than they themselves use for it to function. One of the motivator for people to produce more is the idea that they can hand it off to their children. The children generally squander a good deal of this inheritance which means that extra production goes back into the economy. This means that wealth is added to the nation. Having an inheritance tax means the father has zero incentive to leave anything behind as the state will confiscate most of it and his kids get nothing anyway. This causes the farther to produce way less that he otherwise would have. And this wealth is subtracted from the nation.

Abortion rates would plummet if one thing were made into law.

Require every abortion to have a public death certificate with the name of the known parents on it.

If males were a protected class under current civil rights laws, they would have equal say and equal access to abortions. If the law gives advantages to women to compensate for their lack of fitness, then men should get the same deal for their lack of a womb.

A man needs a woman like a fish needs a bicycle.

lol, why do you want to force men to pair up with substandard spouses?

lol

lol, too easy
