Populism And Nationalism On The Rise In Europe

I never read enough on them to know their agenda

The neo nazi movement.

Seem from what I have read its like our neo conservatives just alot more violent

Errr...What? My dad and a few of his buddies, along with my husband's dad and his mother's siblings that served in the 1970's still look very fondly on being stationed in Germany.

I will say that my vague memories of the 1980's (before we ended up back in the US), the bases were very isolated, which is why my mother never wanted to live on-base and demanded brother and I attended German kindergarten. When visiting throughout the 1990's and 2000's, the "base culture" seemed more and more self-isolated.

Self-alienation?

I guess you live in America or Germany to pit one against the other? America vs Germany

Surprised someone didn't already make up some crap about population and how it makes doing anything intelligently impossible.

It's probably because we're dealing with a country that has over 80 million people, as opposed to the typical "we should be like (insert country here)!" that has a population much, much smaller than ours. Regardless, that doesn't mean that we can do what the Germans are doing, nor necessarily that we should.

The point is, i see that used as the counter to any comparison of the US with other countries and I've yet to see any compelling evidence that population even plays a roll in whether policies work.

Some made several posts comparing Germany's systems to ours and nobody mentioned population.

Also, if we have the ability to offer everyone a free education and healthcare by simply cutting back on love of war and corporate greed a fraction, why the hell shouldn't we?

You know, most kids fresh out of high school aren't even qualified to join the army much less develop future technologies.

Well, there's a lot more to do with it than just population. Population is just the most obvious factor.

Single-payer has its' downsides. That's the only objection to the the German system that I can see.

The education system is different there, it's a tiered system based on aptitude, which may or may not allow for fluctuation based on strengths and weaknesses in different subjects. It's finite based on acceptance into Hauptchule, Realschule or Gymanasium.

EDIT: If we were to adopt the German system of education, it would hurt too many idealistic American egos to know they were left behind. Which, in theory, conservatives should be behind, but that's far too much of a stoic and pragmatic solution.

You keep saying population is a factor, but you've never said why.

Germany, trying to take over Europe once again, this time financially.

Basic logic? Would something that works for a town of 100 people necessarily work for the entire planet? If you're looking for a specific answer, ask a specific question.

For once I agree with you. On the flip side, people often put too much faith in seemingly good ideas without knowing how well they'll actually work when implemented in a new environment. You can see this in plenty in corporations that try to mimic competitors' production processes and end up failing abysmally because, like a puzzle, sometimes the pieces just don't fit.

Obama was never mentioned. As if he's not president atmfiction Obama foreign policy and Jihadists = the reason Says who. You? lol You sound like a big fan lol

America has been having a rough time for the past decade.

Personally, I get ***done.

What year are you talking about?

If you are not stupid this is achievable in America.

I started making a list of American brands.. Then decided I didn't want to spend all night doing it.

Take away the cities that have been run by Democrats for over 50 years straight and we would more than likely be equal if not better. Look it up, because if I quote it you will either call me a liar or say w/e still America!

lol

Love how you say recent...

Will take this one step at a time.

Even the American people are not happy about this. And who's fault is it that the entire World rely's on America? Don't like it boycott us, we don't care.

Trump has done nothing to Germany. Your bias'd is glaring.

/InsertHystericalLaughter.giff
Germany Has Absolutely NO room to talk about wars and race issues.


This goes with this.
We accept thousands upon thousand of refugees! The main reason I added Zahrah here is because it is a perfect example.
The Jews were not at war with us and there was no chance of them blowing/shooting up buildings!


Funny, we do the same thing. Why mention this?

It isn't and neither do I.



And finally.
The Marshall Plan. Look it up, learn something. Not to mention the BILLIONS of dollars the USA has given out since then.

Is America perfect? Hell,no. However, Germany owes America for everything it has become. You're welcome.

I feel violated in so many ways right now.

It can be done.. He started it actually. So put on your big boy pants.

I don't understand what your going on about.

Funny, coming from you.

What? Quote me in context or did you not understand it? Or do you not know about the MS Saint Louis?

EDIT: What about the Turkish immigrants that Germany took in during reconstruction?

Canadian..

I'm in shock the United States turned away refugees that came from a country that was at war with it's ally's.

Don't wanna sound rude, but I really don't care.
