Look bruh, this is the back-pedal of back-pedals.



Extremely monolithic.


I would love to see this 'non-debatable proof'. An extremely strong statement with zero justification (par for the course).


Even your 'American concepts' aren't ****ing American, Grandpa.


No, measuring happiness is not a perfect science. But to treat it as black and white as you do really is agenda-serving at best.


You're narrow-minded for refusing the existence of a problem, and building false-justifications for the support of perpetuating the existence of said problem.

Did you recently enroll in a debate course? You've become a complete joke and not worth talking with. You don't realize how childish you sound. Act a little more know-it-all mmmmkay. Someday you'll grow up and learn to have dialogue again.

One last side note:

I spent nearly 8 years traveling, and I've NEVER heard a Canadian make so many comments containing the word "we" as Dalamon. I mean, Canadians usually make a point to NOT be associated with Americans and their problems. Maybe there is something going on with the DalaAlt?

Dala, you ever had a job? An actual paying job? Not an internship.

I've had one. I've had one non stop since I was 14. And I think I agree with most of what Dalamon is saying.

But I think we need to address the "larger government could solve" situation. Being an ambiguous statement in general, I think it's safe to say that most of the immediate hate will be from Propaganda and half truths that we in the US(and many other countries like us) have instilled in us. Buzz words socialism and communism were just as bad for older generations as Terrorism is today.

But forget all that... check it at the door. Lets move on to the meat and potatoes. Let's prove that big government always fails it's people. Example; The United States. We give our government up to 30% of every dollar earned(more if you are the sole proprietor of a business) to do what? Foul up everything from social security, to medicaid, to our national defense(how many people were killed during training in a war we were deceived into?), and all the way up to paying a group of people to make laws that can't manage to make the right, healthy choice for America because someone in their party might lose their seat.

Using the US as a guide, Big Government is an utter failure.

But are we the only big government out there?

Pretty much-- but my city is always an island of NDP in the backdrop of an ocean of PC ridings. So my local whereabouts are quite left wing.


I say we because I try to place myself in the perspective of an American for the sake of discussion, seeing as I'm talking with 99% American posters here. If I always refer to y'all's community as "you, you, you", it sounds accusatory-- and that's not the sort of message I'm trying to convey.

Side note: Canadians who desperately try to confirm their Canadian nationhood usually do it for the wrong reasons. I especially love when Canadians are all like "WOW I cannot BELIEVE they treat Blacks like that down there-- we'd never do such a thing!!"

Umm-- Indigenous Peoples, yall?

I remember when I was a young college student like Dal, and had everything in the world figured out.

Statements like these are so blah-- instead of addressing what I said being wrong, you bring attention to who I am as a person.

If the fact that I go to college renders me as unable to coherently share any ideas, then so be it. Otherwise, work with what I'm saying & try to rebuttle, instead of joining in that group-think "welllllll UR just A AKADEMIK! Fact-checker!" Nonsense that really helps zero ppl in the long run.

Life outside of college changes most perspectives. It's also why those who are career academia are kinda out of touch with reality.

You don't know a ****ing thing about me, nor do you know how much perspective I have. Quit making assumptions on someone you literally do not know.

No, but I know a de-rail when I see one.

Feel free to respond to these posts when you grow up and/or figure out how to respond to them. Clearly you seem to be befuddled at this point in time

Me and Peeks seem to be doing just fine, despite us being polar opposites on this spectrum.

As soon as you point out examples of other big governments succeeding, all you get is either a) your measure of success is bogus! And b) they aren't the U.S. so the comparison is USELESS!! (On grounds of population, culture, whatever).

Yep, ideas are great until they end up ****ing you.

Well I wouldn't even be in college right now if it weren't for 'big government' so I'm not sure how these ideas are "****ing me".

Lulz. I wasn't even talking about you specifically. It was a generalization on those in academia. But I do know a thing or two about you.

I suppose I shouldn't point out the irony of you making assumptions of a country you've been to 3 times in your life though, right?
