@svvmichael1 1) I am completley up-to-date on cost of living. You are not, living in your parent's basement eating nutter butters all day. 2) sexual disease rate? LOLOLOLOL way to make up some b.s. leftist ignorant fool.

[1971SuperLead]

@svvmichael1 You are out of touch with the cost of living rates in the USA.

.....and the sexual disease rates as well.

My parents medical bill when I was born was only $600. I know college was a whole lot more affordable back then too.

...don't get aids.

[svvmichael1]

@1971SuperLead 1) way to get medical care: get insurance. it is affordable. 2) Way to get a job: get a college degree. people with bachelor's degree unemployment 4.4%, master's 3.2%, Ph.D.'s 3.4% 3) cost to play golf: avg $20/round. All of your points are ridiculous myth/propaganda.

pretty sure norway is safer than america. also implying that burying the garbage is good for the environment or is perfectly good. i smell a rat.

Soon enough though those protests are gonna become riots when the dollar collapses.

The fact of the matter is that we take so much for granted that we focus on the things that, really, are non-issues. And it's all the worse because we have so much free time, and so little to do, and we need a sense of belonging and activity. So we go out and protest about stupid shit we know nothing about.

Some of these are surprisingly shortsighted.

John Stossel is an agnostic, not an atheist. Just as an FYI, atheist requires the same leap of faith as theism, but it happens in a different direction. There is no scientific evidence of or against the existence of a God. Theists take a leap of faith and say that, despite no evidence or proof, there exists a God. Atheists take the leap of faith and say that, despite no evidence or proof, there does not exist a God.

And John Stossel is even better than this video shows, because he is an atheist, although he does not promote it enough. Religion, or belief in a god, is the most stupid myth of all.
