You orefer socialism? WTF? Are you nuts?
This country was founded on hard working Capitalism.
Thats what has made this country the greatest one in the world. Granted we are not that popular right now but thats life. We will bounce back, we always do.
Why do you think hardworking people from Socialist countries come to the US?
Free Enterprise baby! Thats what we are all about. Thats the way it MUSt stay.
They come here because they have the ability to have their hard work pay off. They get to rep the benefits of it. In a socialist country you get no such reward for hard work. You just put you time in, the same as everyone else and get paid the same as everyone else. If you think of a good idea or invention you will not become rich off it, the goverment will.
Understand what I am saying?
No fucking Socialism, Marxsism, Communism bullshit!
Never in America.
I hate to be the one to shatter your world here... but the US already IS a socialist country, and has been for decades. I'm not sure you really know what socialism is, based on this post. It sounds like you're confusing it with communism. It's a common mistake in American political discourse. They're not the same.
I know exactly what it is and no it is not. Some bills have been past that have socialistic views but we are not a socialist country. And Communisim is very very close to Socialism, look it up.
If you think we are a Socialist country then compair us to lets say China, or Cuba. HUGE difference.
We are a socialist country. Cuba and China look different because they are more communist/fascist than socialist. If you think we are not socialist just compare us to many western European countries like Norway and Sweden... pretty close.
One of the reasons why a country will think twice about attacking us on our soil is there are Millions of Americans who own many guns (like myself) who would not hesitate to pull them out and defend this country.
Any army who comes here would get wasted flatout.
I think it has more to do with the fact that there's a big ocean that makes landing an army here kind of a pain, and we've done a good job of keeping all our neighbors poor enough to be unable to muster a military. Also, your handgun isn't going to do much good against a nuclear warhead launched from halfway around the world, which is the only kind of attack we might ever see.
I agree about the Warhead, but not having a place to land being the reason?? Come on bro.
Keeping countries poor? Why do you live here then and practice law? BTW what kind of Law fo you pratice?
I didn't say there weren't places to land, I said you can't get troops here. How many troops do you think you can fit onto any given airplane or boat? How many planes or boats would it take crossing the ocean to get an army big enough to threaten us here? Of that number, how many do you think would actually make it by the time our navy and air force shot them all to hell? That is why the ocean protects us. Nobody can get here without us tearing them to shreds. It has nothing to do with the number of handguns our citizens own. Though that does facilitate us shooting each other to hell without the help of any invading armies.
Yes, we keep our neighbors poor. Canada's ok, but they're not going to raise a hand against us. We've fucked Latin/South America over for decades. Anytime they came close to a popular government, we overthrew it to put in a dictator that would ensure that labor stayed cheap there. We have NAFTA to ensure that America gets enough cheap labor there to keep them happy, save us money, and make sure they never make enough money to challenge us.
I live here because I was born here and I'm too lazy to learn another language or look for work elsewhere, let alone figure out visa and citizenship stuff. Plus, it's a pretty cool place to live. That doesn't mean it's perfect and can't be improved.
I don't practice law. I graduate this spring. Then I'll probably be doing either labor/employment law or trademark protection.

Does that statement also apply?
Doesn't that apply to most countries?
