Enjoying your house? The government now owns it.

i don't think so

definitely not in 20th century sense

It's weird. Postgraduates, criminals, high school dropouts and the poor are solid left, everyone in between is up for grabs between the left and right.

it's true statistically here, you can roll all you want

[fiddy]

i don't think so

20th century form of communism was a form of slavery at best, although U.S. seem to be going the way of the soviets in some ways

No, I'm laughing because you think paying for a degree and being educated are the same thing :roll:

Sorry.. who are you??

NO I'M NOT

I dunno, it seems like you post about me a lot.

Seems like you have lots of delusions, such as "my existence matters", "i'm bullying people on the Internet" or "my opinion has value"

Well I'm definitely living rent free in your head. And you seem very upset about it.

Not as upset as your mother's stomach after swallowing my сum

Looks more like you live in your bedroom and spend way too much time posting on here..

Probably because there is a correlation between being on the left and being young, and the young are almost always stupid, especially when they've spent 3-4 years living in an educational bubble that leaves them completely ignorant and delusional about the real world.

Now, the war generation, despite being 'less educated' (even though their General Certificate exams were more difficult than just about anything taught at a University nowadays), have a far better understanding of life and have more of the virtues that leads to one making a success of one's life (a spirit of frugality, resourcefulness, stoicism, not being a burden to others) - now kids are so pampered and preened that they can only be spoiled and ignorant brats. It is why University is unbearable for anyone who actually takes education seriously, as it is filled with mediocre and self-interested lecturers, and stupid children who think it's their right to have other people pay for them to have a 3-4 year drinking and partying holiday.

Also, i doubt there is a correlation with IQ (not a good measure of nous), but there is certainly a correlation between servile cowards who like to live as a flock of sheep, under the great aegis of the state, with their lives micro-regulated around the filling of bureaucratic forms, and a fear of independence, of having to take care of oneself: basically, of ever growing up. Perpetual childhood here we come! Shit, my Grandparents had a house, savings, and had started a family by their mid-twenties - now most people in their 20s still behave like bloody teenagers, with many of them still living at home, with enormous debts they'll probably never repay.

One of these is the sign of a healthy and robust society, the other of an enervated and decadent one - can you guess which?

edit: what i don't get about the young in particular, is that they are the demographic most in favour of propping up all these systems and privileges (particularly pensions), for which they will never reap the benefit themselves (it will have collapsed long before they reach old age). So, so, stupid, young people are - they are basically willing their own future servitude.

that's why countries who are more left allow their youth to go to the best schools for a price that is affordable for everybody

as for the rest, you just sound like a bitter old man :oldlol:

or do Americans really go for 3-4 years straight drinking? it would explain a lot but i don't think it's true

What he says is mostly true although the drinking comment is mostly hyperbole. The younger generation here is getting shafted in so many ways they don't even realize. Their education has failed them in that sense and that just perpetuates their problems.

And yes, different societies can't all have the same system or way of living. It's dumb to think, "hey it works in this tiny country so it should work here" or "look at the public transportation system in this country, how come we don't have it?".

[HitandRun Reggie]

me, i think different societies need different systems

for example Scandinavian countries are left with stupid high taxes but manage to be productive and happy as a society



Their taxes on individuals aren't that much higher than living in California or New York, but they have a much lower corporate tax rate.

[DrakeTheSnake]

Where I live the lower IQ support Trump.

when u correlate poor to uneducated it makes sense that the less educated would want larger government for more handouts.

it also makes sense that the educated with higher paying jobs would want smaller government which equates to less taxes levied due to less social welfare.

you will always have educated do gooders tho. like UCal liberals. liberals for environment, pro choice, anti guns, etc. which is sort of offset by redneck agenda'd Repubicans who are pro life and pro guns,, etc.

by and large tho, i'd say the more successful and wealthy, of whom are the most educated, are for less government and lean Republican because they don't want to be raped on taxing to pay for social welfares.

there is a HUGE population of poor in every country that wants social welfare(larger gov) which adds to the uneducated stat.

There's a correlation between low intelligence and right wing views.

[Jailblazers7]

How many poor, high school drop outs in the South are conservative? My guess is a lot.

:biggums:

pretty sure every dirty south hood crew leans far left.

adding the inner city hoods and it dwarfs the redneck po white trash population.

dont kid yourself. the left/liberals have by far the lower educated population of voters.

[HitandRun Reggie]

How many poor, high school drop outs in the South are conservative? My guess is a lot.

Nearly twice as many high school dropouts said they voted for Obama vs Romney. Six times as many felons register Democrat vs Republican. But postgraduates oddly enough said they favored Obama vs Romney 55-42%. I'd like to see how many successful postgraduates vote Democrat over Republican though, because every income bracket above 50k is solidly in favor of Republicans.

And rightfully so. They understand and value economic freedom. Something low IQ demographics can't seem to understand.

1. I didn't go to University in America, but in the UK (and it was still pretty cheap at the time - fees have trebled since i went), where we have had to constantly raise fees because of the demand, and the fact the student loan and grants programs are broke (as they are in just about every Western nation). The idea that countries can pay for their youth to all go 'to the best schools' for a 'price that is affordable for everybody' is quite frankly ludicrous and illogical to the extreme (and has been disproven by trial, not that it ever needed to be). Only a tiny percentage can ever go 'to the best schools' as only a tiny percentage can ever be classed among the best, and such education is never going to be affordable (or even desirable) for everybody. All you're talking about is lowering everyone down to a base common denominator so things can be fairer - but there is nothing fair or even sensible about such ideas.

2. It makes me a 'bitter old man' to think people who haven't earned or deserved or warranted any special treatment should be given large sums of money from the government to pursue academic studies they aren't at all suited for (lowering the standards for all of those with any actual ability at the same time)? Sorry if actually caring about standards and education makes one bitter and old, but then the spread of this exact kind of attitude is part of the problem i am referring to. Myself, i'm still comfortably in my twenties, and have quite recently been through undergraduate and graduate school. I speak from experience - in the UK it is about drinking, in the Netherlands it's really just about allowing people to doss around for years and years on end (with someone else paying for it).

3. According to all the rankings, and based on international reputation, the Universities of the UK and the US are far, far superior to those in the rest of the world, and standards have sunk low enough in these countries (where only a couple of places still maintain a modicum of high standards), so God knows how awful most Universities are elsewhere. I know that in the Netherlands (which is one of the better places) they don't actually have any good universities, just a bunch of average ones, almost indistinguishable from one another.
