![]() It's kind of ridiculous to have to explain to someone what a first world country is.

![]() So then we are discussing countries that have zero similarities to ours, other than roads, a currency and government, OK. Landmass, population, natural resources (utilized or ignored) are not even part of the conversation. That makes sense, we should be able to run our country as "well" as one that has 20% of the population and 1/100 of the issues.

No, it's not possessing merely roads, currency and a government. I said: "Obama-Biden 2012, baby. Plus sweep of the Senate and House by Independents and Dems. Pull this country kicking and screaming, out of the hands of the anti-everything loons, and into the 21st century with the other big countries" Where are we in health care among the other first world countries? Education? Cost of education? Cost of health care? Percentage of poor living substandard lives? Aid programs to the poor? Education and housing help? What percentage are employed? Their savings rate? Their retirement quality of life? How long they live? Number of murders? Crime? Hint: we aren't first in any of it. Except murders.

"Aid programs to the poor?" We must not be talking dollars here. You are officially out of your mind. Find me one country that spends 1/3 of what is spent here.

Seriously? All your hysteria, just because I said this? And yet you even missed the point! There is little more hysterically funny than someone who doesn't like something you say, and argues that you should prove your opinion is wrong and they are right! LOL ... OMG ... ![]() ![]() Hint: look up the definition of "first world country", and what factual parameters are used to measure that. Then post where we are, compared to the other first world country in those parameters, and get back to me. But really, my comment was referring to the platform differences between the Republican and the Democratic parties. Sorry you missed that and went off an a screaming tangent. Quote:
