Government Dependence

[ethrtyiS]

my mother and other family came here when they were young. i was born here and therefore makes me a us citizen by birth. we moved to europe for a short time and then my parents decided that it wasn't the same so we moved back here. i have dual citizenship.

[smooth]

you said you lived there so now is your claim that you only visited there for a period of time?

[ethrtyiS]

probably more than you know. i believe i said my mother...

[smooth]

what do you know about US history?

you just claimed that you and your family are from UK...

[ethrtyiS]

cool.

so it makes sense why no one cares about the 300 years it took to get america up and
running as a leading democracy. all that hard work for nothing. we've seen it in europe. you will see it here.

i assumed so because you had not mentioned it and because you don't seem to know very much, if any, to what has/is happening there, therefore i came to that conclusion. and if you have then you'd know that it had something to do with it. i don't need to know your background, nor could i care less to know. the point is, i've lived there, my family goes back generations there, and they can all vouch for the same thing.

When you assume you make an ass out of yourself.

And no one cares what your family thinks.

[ethrtyiS]

cool story.

[smooth]

almost everyone on this board has family that "goes back generations there"

[ethrtyiS]

and neither do you

fuck your shitty THIRD FUCKING PARTY anecdotal stories that hold no bearing on anything

you're right, i don't anymore.

lol. the sad cold fact is that it's true. so stay in denial.

Actually I have, you ignorant assuming idiot. But tell me how much you don't know about me living and working there.

and to be honest, i could care less even more now to what you have to say since you can't seem to keep a conversation civilized and professional, instead you have to resort to using ignorant words toward me.

you've never lived in england. unless you have lived there or have seen how things work, you wouldn't understand. the amount of government spending is far surpassed the number of money taken in. sounds all too familiar here.

I just got all tingly

This is just scratching the flea that hasn't even landed on the surface of this topic known as free market capitalism. Let actual economists decide what's best. How bout that?

So a family member's perspective from a Facebook message proves that government programs are the cause of UK's fall from grace? Okay because that sounds perfectly reasonable. . .


We have an incredible amount of technological progress that most take for granted and a high standard of living - there can be more people pursuing careers that foster further development and innovation and quality of life for others instead of living off the system but claiming it's all going down the drain is a bit overdramatic.

there are other things that factored in sure, but most of my older relatives tell me all the time how their economy went to hell mainly due to government reliance. they even tell me that the united states is following in the same path and that 300 years of prosper and hard work are going down the drain. i believe i still have that facebook message somewhere around.

and the education system is failing here too. i watched a 60 minute episode 2 weeks ago on how the education system is failing the children. and it's true, it absolutely shows.

The ironic thing is that we have so many advancements, that you don't have to go to (a) school to learn something. We have massive amounts of knowledge at our fingertips and we have the possiblity to "go to" a school that's thousands of miles away.

People know there's someone who'll save them, thus low motivation for knowledge.
