Capitalism, Democracy and Christianity Have Failed the USA
One look at the USA, and its easy to see what concepts failed us as a nation. Namely, capitalism, democracy and Christianity. Now, yes, Christianity is a religion and not a concept. But I am talking about the set of values Christianity is supposed to represent, charity, goodwill, forgiveness etc...
But, why? Has America fallen for these concepts to have failed us? Yes. As it stands China has a better economy, New Zealand is the most free, and people in Scandinavia are happier. We tried it our way. And now after all the chips are on the table, we gave to admit that each and every one is a failure.
Discuss what a retarded opinion this is, or if you actually think its true. If you raged, you lost.

1 Replywe should rename puerto rico russia and nuke it and then while the headlines say that russia is nuked everyone will be like "oh that's just puerto rico who cares" then we can nuke the real russia and no one will notice because they will all think that the news is still just talking about puerto rico

[quote]capitalism[/quote] because regulations destroyed one of the core concepts of capitalism "High Risk, High Reward". Now we can talk about the benefits and non-benefits of regulation until we're blue in the face. But rewarding companies for scamming people when they would have naturally gone under from their own greediness is a problem with the government not intervening it the right way. [quote]democracy[/quote] I don't necessarily agree with keeping the same person in office over and over again, and Congress should have a tenure limit, I also don't think electing a new person is automatically going to change anything. [quote]charity[/quote] Reading Rainbow just received millions of dollars on Kickstarter. Clearly people are willing to give their money towards funding a program privately if it's good enough.

Agreed, most people here will either call this bait or start yelling obscenities, proving how stupid the average floodian is.

Capitalism hasn't been practiced in America for 100 years. Scandinavia has a problem with immigration.

Let's also forget that Mark Zuckerburg willingly donated $120 million to schools in California. But hey, California isn't part of the union, amirite?
