NANNY STATES

When I watch FOX their favorite topic lately is:

WE ARE CAPITALISTS, WE DON'T WANNA BE A NANNY STATE LIKE NORWAY, SWEDEN, DENMARK, THE NETHERLANDS

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE "NANNY STATES"

People live healthier
People are happier
Less heart attacks, strokes
Mild climate for soft drugs, up to legal
Hobbying is legal
Life expectation is longer
Less homeless people
Same sex marriage is legal
Assisted suicide is possible
Abortion is legal
Less crime
Less greed
Friendlier attitude
Minimum wages are enough to live on
Less poverty

NOW WHY THE FUCK DON'T YOU WANNA BE A "NANNY STATE" ?????????????????

Only reason why I left Europe and live in California now …………….. The climate
Can't think of ANY OTHER REASON

I want a nanny, but not like Arnold's.

All of the Countrys you listed all have one thing in common that makes them starkly different from the USA. They have a relative homogenous populations.

That is changing, we will see in the future how well they cope with waves of immigrants who have no interest in becoming Norwegians, Swedes, Danes, or Dutch.

Each of these Countrys needs their own version of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to remind them how evil they are.

Oh and I forgot, of course everyone in those states has health insurance and not with the crazy co-pay and deductibles like in the US

Waverunner, if you really like those countries better than the one you live in, what's stopping you from moving?

Why I wouldn't.

There's nothing wrong with pointing out the good qualities of some other country. Or pointing out needed areas of improvement for your own.

Saying "if you don't like it then move" is a cop out.

If you don't like it, try to change it. You know, like the slogan.

No matter how much you (this is not directed at DFW5 personally) try to shit on the concept of hope and change, it is what founded our country and why so many people have moved here.

The conservatives of the time didn't believe in the same things the Founding Fathers did. Which of those 2 groups had the final say?

Can it be any more obvious?
