What are conservatives going to blame us for next? Their hilarious teen pregnancy rates?

Hey,

Did you guys know that Nordic countries have higher life expectancy than America with its American "best health care system in the world" and lower infant mortality? Even Belarus and Cuba have a lower infant mortality than US.

So we can't have single payer because scale and a good educational system due to scale, seems the only thing that scales well according to republicans is military.

I think we all know that socialized bootstraps are the only kind of government we need.

Did you guys know that Nordic countries have the some of the highest environmental performance rankings in the world, by far higher than those of US?

EPI | Environmental Performance Index

Belarus has a higher environmental ranking than US.

They dont have to live through this

Finnish students are assigned less homework, take less tests, spend less time in the classroom, and outperform our students. Oh, Finland also spends less per student than we do.

We're too big to use their system guys. Because reasons.

Scale, it's all about scale! For some reason once you hit some imaginary number it no longer becomes possible, I just wish they would tell us what number of people it would still be possible for. Those Nordic countries better not breed to much, their whole way of life will collapse.

I would like to hear a number at which the scale breaks down. Can the Nordic model still be safely replicated at 10M people, 20M? 50M? 100M?

Remember, the burden of proof is always on us. Even when we're talking about their claims.

Im quite happy in socialist germany. I have to pay 130 Euro for next semester though. Life is hard.

Araysar · Feb 10, 2014

Yeah, but that education is like, worse than the one in the nation with the most open and freest markets in the world: Somalia.

*Goes to check world rankings*

Oh, its ranked in the top 20 in the world. Ahead of US.

Sebudai · Feb 10, 2014

A semester of classes in Germany costs less than a semester of textbooks in the US?

Well that's just because we're such a large country.

In America we pay by the page, because we are a free market society. And not some faggy soshualist hellhole.

The scale just fucks us apparently, I hate the scale.

Sebudai · Feb 10, 2014

My parents had 8 kids. We directly contributed to the scale problem.

I am sorry, friends.

Sounds like one of those completely unknowable things. Like the tides. Can't explain it, just have to accept it.

Sebudai · Feb 10, 2014

Wait a second, if too many people is what fucks us out of having optimal health and education systems, why does fanaskin claim that having more kids is a good thing?

Merlin and his 5 spawns are ruining America.

Merlin, go kill your 5 kids so the country can be smarter as a whole. Maybe kill yourself too afterwards.

Anyone remember when the opposing arguments were just a stubborn "nope, the US system is better"? Now it's "we're only worse because we're so big." That's progress, right?

How far can we get these goal posts to move!
