Amy Holmes is such an idiot. Nobody is saying the system is perfect. There is nothing that is perfect. I'm Norwegian, and I can say there are many things that can be critisized about the norwegian system. But that's besides the point. The goal is to make the system so it benefits the most citizens. It's not about making the system "perfect", it's about making the system "better". We are not communists because we want our neighbour to lead a healthy and good life. Americunts.
The Cold War was based on a LiE, that it's SUPPOSEDLY impossible to have BOTH free expression AND free/cheap social services SIMULTANEOUSLY. Libertarians and Stalinists WASTED decades & billion$ forcing people at gunpoint to choose between the two. It's as RETARDED as asking if you want your eyesight or your hearing! People want/need BOTH! That's the beauty & destiny of Scandinavia: By defying that idiotic Cold War dichotomy, it provides an ESSENTIAL role model for us all!

pcgamernum1, NO one cares who has "more electronics," you petty, self-centered ... An economy is judged by how well it takes care of its people ...

...higher levels of social spending, which can only be afforded by taxing the rich.
The socialist crap people who do these studies are idiots. Americans have bigger houses EVEN THE POOR, they have more electronics, they have less freedom than in america. This is all propaganda with no reallity.
@MrGherox You didn't read the comment correctly. I said we have a higher quality of life because we have more extra items to fill in our free time because we are RICH and we live in big houses. Then I ADDED that we also have more freedom. Which is true. Compare US law to Laws in any MORE socialist country. (Non in europe are pure socialist that i can think of. Most are like the US more mixed, the US is just MORE capitalist, thus MORE powerful)
@pcgamernum1 i still think you are wrong. saying that becuase of laws in the US you have more freedom, how can you have more freedom if they can give you jailtime for jaywalking?
i have seen people get arrested for the most ridiculous things in america.and america is NOT rich. a country cant be rich with more than 15.000.000.000.000 USD in debt.
@MrGherox Your logic sounds reasonable but look at the truth of it. (First off, you can get a fine for jaywalking, you can only be arrested if you do something to add on to it like resisting the officer, and jaywalking puts oTHER PEOPLE in danger) People say china has the most powerful economy. But look at how their people live. In utter poverty. The US economy on the other hand looks weak but look at how americans live. In wealth (in comparison)
@pcgamernum1 not everyone in china lives in poverty you know, as in all other contrys there are classes. and the US economy IS weak, US had to borrow money from china. and the US debt increases with billions of dollars every single day. as for the banning of movies, games and book, i have heard they do it in some european countrys, but not norway. banning stuff is just stupid imho. btw, i reasently saw a vid of ppl getting arrested for dacning at the jefferson memorial..
@MrGherox Depends on what they where doing it for. If they where staging a protest for the good of society (SOCIALISM) laws state that you have to apply to legally protest at public locations. I'm a libertarian myself and we should get rid of most government rules inlcuding those like jaywalking and protesting permits. As for banning, not sure about Norway, BUT for england, germany, and france they bann often.
@pcgamernum1 they were dancing because someone wanted to ban dancing at the memorial, the ban was not set, but they still got arested. and thats another thing, you can only protest if THEY allow you to do so.. where is the freedom in that? there are a few countries that ban violent games and movies.. one would think a propper age rating would be enough.
@MrGherox So they weren't arrested for dancing BUT FOR PROTESTING without a permit. I agree that is crazy, BUT that doesn't mean I don't think the rules should be followed until changed. Does that make sense? I follow laws that I disagreewith. Weed is illigal so i don't smoke it. But I think I should be allowed to if I wanted to. Again, all the problems with the US are caused by over powered government.
@pcgamernum1 i wouldnt call it a protests, they were just dancing. they even arested a couple in love because they were in eachothers arms moving from side to side.
@MrGherox They where dancing at a location dancing was going to be banned to PROTEST that ban. To not call it a protest is to deny the facts as yous tated them. Again, i disagree but that is the law. It was without a doubt a protest.
Amy Holmes is such an idiot. Nobody is saying the system is perfect. There is nothing that is perfect. I'm Norwegian, and I can say there are many things that can be critisized about the norwegian system. But that's besides the point. The goal is to make the system so it benefits the most citizens. It's not about making the system "perfect", it's about making the system "better". We are not communists because we want our neighbour to lead a healthy and good life. Americunts.

FED Chairman Alan Greenspan: Congressman, we have the highest standard of living in the world.
Congressman Bernie Sanders: No, we do not. You go to Scandinavia, and you will find that people have a much higher standard of living, in terms of education, health care and decent paying jobs. Wrong, Mister.

@pcgamernum1 so having a big house and lots of stuff to fill it with is equal to being free? from that comment alone i'm gonna say you are american..
MrGherox 4 weeks ago
@MrGherox You didn't read the comment correctly. I said we have a higher quality of life because we have more extra items to fill in our free time because we are RICH and we live in big houses. Then I ADDED that we also have more freedom. Which is true. Compare US law to Laws in any MORE socialist country. (Non in europe are pure socialist that i can think of. Most are like the US more mixed, the US is just MORE capitalist, thus MORE powerful)
pcgamernum1 4 weeks ago
@pcgamernum1 i still think you are wrong. saying that becuase of laws in the US you have more freedom, how can you have more freedom if they can give you jailtime for jaywalking?
i have seen people get arrested for the most ridiculous things in america.and america is NOT rich. a country cant be rich with more than 15.000.000.000.000 USD in debt.
MrGherox 4 weeks ago
@MrGherox Your logic sounds reasonable but look at the truth of it. (First off, you can get a fine for jaywalking, you can only be arrested if you do something to add on to it like resisting the officer, and jaywalking puts oTHER PEOPLE in danger) People say china has the most powerful economy. But look at how their people live. In utter poverty. The US economy on the other hand looks weak but look at how americans live. In wealth (in comparison)
pcgamernum1 4 weeks ago
@pcgamernum1 not everyone in china lives in poverty you know, as in all other contrys there are classes. and the US economy IS weak, US had to borrow money from china. and the US debt increases with billions of dollars every single day. as for the banning of movies, games and book, i have heard they do it in some european countrys, but not norway. banning stuff is just stupid imho. btw, i reasently saw a vid of ppl getting arrested for dacning at the jefferson memorial..
MrGherox 4 weeks ago
@MrGherox Depends on what they where doing it for. If they where staging a protest for the good of society (SOCIALISM) laws state that you have to apply to legally protest at public locations. I'm a libertarian myself and we should get rid of most government rules inlcuding those like jaywalking and protesting permits. As for banning, not sure about Norway, BUT for england, germany, and france they bann often.
pcgamernum1 4 weeks ago
@pcgamernum1 they were dancing because someone wanted to ban dancing at the memorial, the ban was not set, but they still got arested. and thats another thing, you can only protest if THEY allow you to do so.. where is the freedom in that? there are a few countries that ban violent games and movies.. one would think a propper age rating would be enough.
MrGherox 4 weeks ago
@MrGherox So they weren't arrested for dancing BUT FOR PROTESTING without a permit. I agree that is crazy, BUT that doesn't mean I don't think the rules should be followed until changed. Does that make sense? I follow laws that I disagreewith. Weed is illigal so i don't smoke it. But I think I should be allowed to if I wanted to. Again, all the problems with the US are caused by over powered government.
pcgamernum1 4 weeks ago
@pcgamernum1 i wouldnt call it a protests, they were just dancing. they even arested a couple in love because they were in eachothers arms moving from side to side.
MrGherox 4 weeks ago
@MrGherox They where dancing at a location dancing was going to be banned to PROTEST that ban. To not call it a protest is to deny the facts as yous tated them. Again, i disagree but that is the law. It was without a doubt a protest.
