The Americans in charge of business didn't suck at conducting their business, and most Americans were busy.

It just makes sense, that you need to account for stuff on your own or you can't even assume what you need to survive...but a capitalist system can exist with restriction on wealth generating members of society.  I don't know if calling "capitalism" a main contribution would be appropriate to real world consideration but it doesn't hurt.  

How would people generate accountable wealth without profit? 

What do you mean by reject?  

I don't think delusion means what you think it means.

Do you think the truth exists?

Capitalism.  

America has been pretty good at picking it's battles, and of course if government can do its job and still stay out of the way, the economy is going to do what it needs to do....it's not that America was greedily hording wealth as a goal. Switzerland is fairly comparable model that is probably better off than the US.  

  I have an odd respect for the British as a people.  I don't actually believe Americans are better than Canadians.  A Canadian could become truly awesome.  

Do atheists exist or not?  

Really?  

I only consider EU style propoganda to be "political correctness" by the pejorative sense if it subverts reasonable channels of discent, like associating positive American values with racism.

  I hope that Brexit will help the English come to their senses again.  Maybe they can finally bring about a free country some day.  

What is "right wing populism"?  If I had to guess according to American dogma it would mean "belief in ordinary people that want to work"

Very nice.  If you don't mind, do you live in India right now?

China is the largest threat to the world, probably in history, and the West needs to find a way to get along with the Russians.  The people of Europe need to learn to take care of their own.

I also really like to see commitment to establish an endgame to the post WWII military role of the United States.  

I am American, and I believe that my national representatives hold responsibility for what may be the highest potential for a system of government on earth.  So, American sovereignty is a very high priority for me to the end of preserving the American approach to government.

Yay, economic warfare is where it's at.  Less bombs and more baby boomers.  We'll have the communists whipped over a couple of generations. 

The choice may not necessarily be what you do, but how you will in doing what you do.  

I wonder if America will die before abortion goes the way of slavery.  I'm confident it will be remembered as a barbarous practice.

Independant of government, A society that approaches the ideal ought to be allowed to prosper, and a society which doesn't must be accountable for the greater debt accrued.  

This is priceless. 

Do you have a template for this stuff or do you make it up yourself?

Why do you have to sow discord?  

I don't believe that a feudal monarchy has ever posessed divine authority over earth.

I mean the ones I didn't like were nondenominational.  I was invited, attended, and I did not like the fruit brought of those places or the preacher.

I have often not found the preacher to be very inspiring. The "inspirational" preachers I have met as you might guess, I did not like at all.  These individuals I am referring to ran nondenominational establishments. Some are really cool though, and many do good things for their community and would serve fine as a role model.  I think Christians might be better served by interest in who is inspired by God. 

Your interpretations kinda read like the script of a horror film, the part where the smart guy starts to speak up, then is interupted by the leader who procedes to rationalize the choice of certain doom before being reinforced by the hot chick.

What is ipss?

Once minimum wage is abolished, productive unions that do not have to resort to paying off government officials to stay affloat should start to spring up left and right.

Islam rejected the trinity, based on gnostic teachings I would assume.

What do you mean by "american".  Which aspect of America?  

What do you mean by snitching?  The vote is for whether mods can see who is doing what on the regular.

Well, one reason I have is to inform you that it does not belong to you.  It is open to the public, and was certainly not barged into.  If you start your own I will respect your expressed interest in it, and any rules.  I can't gauruntee that others will.

I remind you that this is a public forum, on the world wide web.  There is of course, no inherent reason for you to read into my opinions at all.  There is a feature I believe to block users on this website that may be of interest to you, though I've never tried it myself.  I hope you don't feel bound to conversation.

In the future, if you don't wish to make an apology observing a lapse in proper manner, I am accustomed to the phrase "please excuse me", or often as it's known to be asking for grant, plainly requesting to be excused.

Now the right of property, and the implications thereof....that might be around awhile.

There are no exceptions to rights.  Property rights are an example of rights made by agreeable arrangement under social construct that will surely cease to exist one day.

 Surely, a sincere apology is something you would want me to understand.  What exactly are you apologizing for?

Yes, it sends a notification to the person you write in.  I said "I" because I was talking about myself.  You are reading into something that isn't there for whatever seems like I had thought you had posted to me in the post you are referring to.  I actually think you posted in a public thread, and sent a notification to another user so they would be sure to read it.

If you don't know what you are thanking me for, then there is no call to thank me.

No, you posted in a public thread in reply to someone else. Why do you ask?  I'm sure it isn't because you don't know who you were posting to.

If I don't answer it's probably because I haven't devoted the time, don't care, and/or forget.  Some replies take more time and effort than others to convey precisely. Of course, we aren't naturally entitled. If you really want answers then you should be willing to go out and get them.  Anyone could chip into a forum thread though and pick up roughly where someone left off.  

If he believes his country is ready for the next step, he's not going to look back.  I think you are under estimating him.

The state is not exercising control over rapists until they are taken into custody, which is unlikely.  Americans do not appeal to the state for sexual permissions.  Such matters are in the juristiction of the church

That's because they want to be awesome.  Canadians are born into elemental envy.

Thank you, very interesting.  

The guardian article is politically neutral.  It focuses on the progress of science and technology and makes an open ended question as to the future in society.

The civil war is complicated.  This issue is simpler if you let it be.  There's no reason for southerners to respect racist statues.  

Correct me if I am wrong.  The gentleman's agreement can generally be framed as this.

The south concedes that it was wrong to secede, and the north respects the people of the south who fought with honor.

Was the union justified in every state it invaded?  It did not recognize the confederacy and the armies were independant rebel forces defending their respective state.  From the union perspective the war was fought to preserve the Union.  Liberation occured first in the south.  There were uprisings in the north among the lower classes as well.  The vast majority of freedmen were never properly given the opportunity available to others with huge expanses of untapped territory.
