There you go, Yasha. You just solved your own conundrum. You don't have those freedoms in Russia. Why on earth would you want to change this country to be more and more like that? How well did Russia work under their brand of socialism? How productive is a country with no individual motivation to get ahead?

Idealism is one thing. Reality is another. Idealism is great when everyone puts forth an equal effort to be successful. If everyone in this country did that, there wouldn't be people in poverty. That's not the case though. There are people here much smarter than others, and much more ambitious than others. If you drag those poeple down and force them to support everyone else, you end up with a failed experiment just like the Soviet Union.

Prove me wrong and then throw out the Fuck You's at me.[/b]
Easy response,
USSR was not socialist. it was stalinist. If you know ur history u know I'm right. USSR was throwing 99% of its money into the military which
is why the economy fell down.

And NO, Socialized health care will not put the US close to USSR. the Patriot Act is what's putting us close, closing down our freedom.

Again if u know ur history, there has been no USSR for 17 years. Russia right now is a lot more capitalistic. It does not look like you understand what I am trying to tell you.
ALL I want is for everyone to have the same opportunity, to succeed, and have the individual choose. Right now it's not so.

and no I did not solve my own conundrum. Again I repeat, if you don't like me saying this, and you don't like me talking like this, u can go ahead and move out to Russia, where you can do whatever you want, no one cares, and if you want something you have to pay for it.
