@uveski he doesn't mean that Canadians are poor. He explains that poor Canadians need to stand in a line at the hospital and rich Canadians can go to private hospitals, he doesn't say that all Canadians are poor or that a poor Canadian is poorer than an american. Try to get the facts right.

His data for life expectancy is totally false; and he is not off by a few years, he is totally lying when he says his life is 3 times longer or 25 times longer than in other systesm.

For example: whether you look at life expectance or median age, the US is bellow many communist countries... including most eastern Europe, and Cuba; and only 1 year difference from China.

@rodeojim1  The automobile was invented in Germany, a soclalist country.

@dallasluce ha ha ha when China invented Paper is was based on capitalist advancements? LOL! I hope you nuts jobs are correct and the earth ends in 2012 so the human race gets cleared out of all these idiots.

[uveski]

@dallasluce so you are trying to argue that Capitalist socitet like America does not commit RAPE, RACISM, Genocide, ect...? Are you brainwashed or just not very bright?

When is the last time a modern socialist society such as Norway (richest country on Earth by a county mile) commited anyt human rights violations and crimes close to what the USA commits every year?

[uveski]

Poor Canadians? HA HA HA. A "poor" Canadian is RICHER THAN 80% of Americans...BY FAR BY ANY STANDARD. LOL!

This guy is such an idiot, all of his arguments fail basic logic tests. By any serious measure America is way down the list in terms of standard of living vs ALL socialist countries and getting worse. It is very clear.

The facts don't lie, ideological Ayn Rand nut jobs do lie..

@jrmsher33 What the fuck is that garbage your writing?

[dallasluce]

@Psy500 WTF Are you talking about?

[dallasluce]

@uveski But you've left out- RAPE, RACISM, Genocide etc-, all in the name of Socialism.

The developments you mentioned were based off capitalists advancements. Please argue me, I know your wrong. It is impossible to defend socialism with logic.
