A friend of mine from Germany is in town this week to iron out some SAP / Teradata alliance bullshit...
At lunch time, out of nowhere goes on a rant on how "great" life is in the US and how much he envies me. My answer was "well don't you have free healthcare, 6 weeks of vacation a year, free day care, backrubs, a government that doesn't make war in Iraq/Afghanistan, Markus Ruhl, swastikas and other free shit to perk up your bavarian ass?
His answer was: "yes, but it pales to compare to the way of life in the US, that sense of business freedom and entrepreneurship, that everything is possible with no limits..." (germanized)
??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Enlight me.
Thank you!

Pity you live in a fantasy world and none of the above happened eh ::)

haha oh brother "everything is possible with no limits"
alright bud.

Economy of scale,...If everyone is insured, and you are not excluded because of preexisting conditions or being able to only get a part time job,...it's a God send.

The USA is better for entrepreneurs and business people... I'm not so sure if it's better for the common people... A professor, a very rich one at that, once told me that everybody, who's in it for the money, should go to Wall Street. Nobody can mess with Wall Street... Eliot Spitzer tried to be the WS sheriff... but they fucked him.. cause he was getting too close... and his hooker affairs were just what they needed to take him down...
The economic elite in America has bought up the american government, so that they can pass irrational, extremely business and investor-friendly laws, that would be impossible to pass in Europe (for now). That's the big advantage of America... in America, you can be a financial terrorist... in Europe, too, but not in those dimensions.

Awesome post Lumberjack88.

you dont know shit, you can't "buy" government unless government itself enables it. The federal government are America's biggest terrorists, against its own citizenry, against its businesses, against everything it does. As the federal government continues to grow, you all have less freedom, and the USA of old becomes more like every other shitty socialist country everyone fled from to come here in the first place
but this is to be expected, any country with as much freedom as US had to turn shitty eventually...once all the coloreds and misfits realize they can go there and abuse that freedom and be a parasite, it was the beginning of the end of good USA

You can't buy it? Why not? Have you heard of lobbying? They do it all the time!
If there was no lobbying, would the government be equally corrupt?
What you see in america... is not socialism... it's capitalism at max! Those who are rich, will become even richer, and they don't have to give much, if anything, back... in socialism.. it wouldn't work that way... you wouldn't have a plutocracy if real socialism was applied. I'm not defending socialism, I think regulated capitalism is the best way to go. Once you take the regulations away... it's not much different than dog eat dog.

Good post. Another man that went against the establishment was JFK. And we all know what happened to him.

The one thing though that's a little odd...is why all of the Eurotrash and Arabs and Mexicanos etc wonder why the U.S. is getting worse nowadays. Lol? Maybe because so many of you made it worse when you came here and tried the same socialist shit that ruined your own countries? You know, the reason you came here in the first place?
Same thing with our Mexicans...you swam peril waters and risked your life to cross the border and leave Mexico...so why make your new country like the shitty Mexican one you just ran from? Lol...the US glory years were 1776-1993. After 1993 is not the US anymore, it's United States of Mexicoeuroworldoutcast

We haven't had capitalism in the US for a very, very long time, too much government interference at every level. I wish we did still have capitalism, not anymore

This is true. The one thing you're not saying though and maybe you know this already: The coloreds and misfits were allowed into the good ole USA after 1965 in much greater numbers after the countries immigration policies were changed. Prior to this change these muds would never have made it across the Atlantic.
And then of course we all know the Governments approach to illegal immigration. They want it. Can you freaking believe they are even getting away with this shit??

Many great scientists and doctors of German/Indian/Asian descent have come to America and lived very good lives and helped people around them greatly, that is good and it's a beautiful thing when that happens...but this isn't what we have now. The US now is treated like a party house for lots of little nobodys and nobody should be surprised that this party house is being torn apart and foundations crumbling.
-
I've been to Europe, the whole time out there I never had a rant that I wanted to stay there longer then my booked vacation, as a matter of fact I couldn't wait to come back home to the states

Hahahahah, some people still think America is like it used to be back in the 60's or 70's ::) ::)

It wasn't the establishment...it was the mafia...whom his father had asked for a favor...as soon as the brothers went after them...bang, bang, you're dead.

Alex, I've been all over Europe: all across the UK and lived in London for a few years, Paris, Cannes, Nice, St. Tropez, Milan, Madrid, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Geneve...
And as nice as all those places are... I believe the US is and will always be the greatest country in the world! And I'm not even originally from here, maybe thats why I appreciate it so much!

You almost had it until you blamed capitlism, which isn't the issue. We've had a mixed market in the US for 50 some odd years, pure capitlism hasn't existed in the US since the 1950's. What we have now is a mixture of corporatism (lobbying for advantageous legislation and subsidies) and socialism (bank and car industry bail outs). Wall Street has turned the stock exchange into their own bankroll through the derivitives market, HFT and the ponzi scheme that is fractional reserve banking.
In a capatlist market you wouldn't see the majority of that and the rest could be handled through some regulation.

I've lived outside the US for nearly a year, traveled a fair amount, and I agree with this 100%. However, we have some MAJOR problems with government that will certainly put the above assesment into dire jeapordy.

HAHA, yeah, sure it was the mafia. I don't believe that for a second. Jack Rubenstein (Ruby) assassinated Oswald so they would not implicate "us".
In March, 1992, Illinois Representative Paul Findley said in The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, "It is interesting - but not surprising - to note that in all the words written and uttered about the Kennedy assassination, Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad, has never been mentioned."
Considering that the Mossad is quite possibly the most ruthless and efficient intelligence agency in the world, it is peculiar that they have never been scrutinized in relation to the Kennedy assassination, especially when practically every other entity in the world (short of Elvis impersonators) has been implicated. But that all changed in January, 1994 with the release of Michael Collins Piper's Final Judgment. In this book, Piper says, "Israel's Mossad was a primary (and critical) behind the scenes player in the conspiracy that ended the life of JFK. Through its own vast resources and through its international contacts in the intelligence community and in organized crime, Israel had the means, it had the opportunity, and it had the motive to play a major frontline role in the crime of the century - and it did."
Their motive? Israel's much touted Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, who ruled that country from its inception in 1948 until he resigned on June 16, 1963, was so enraged at John F. Kennedy for not allowing Israel to become a nuclear power that, Collins asserts, in his final days in office he commanded the Mossad to become involved in a plot to kill America's president.

Sorry, if you beleive that bunk...you are poor misimformed...
JFK's father had dealings...ties to mafia...the five familes back then were alot bigger than threat than Isreal at the time...his father had asked a certain crime boss for help in getting JFK elected...
Then the brothers turn their attention to cleaning up the mafia families...said boss was very upset and put a hit out on them..
I will send you a vid.

I think we are both saying the same thing. Scientists and doctors make up but a small percentage of the population. There are many more useless coloreds entering the USA then there are useful ones. The
Mexican cutting the grass does not really help make the USA a first world country. A man like Edison or Ford does. So does a good engineer, architect, skilled labor, craftsman, farmer, doctor. Even a good lawyer does, although too many of them are a bad thing as we have seen in the US.
The reality is the USA will decline as the white population declines. Let's face it. Whites were responsible for most of the major technological breakthroughs: Electricity, transportation, electronics, engineering, etc.
Watching a jewood movie lately you'd think all the scientists are either black or asian / indian (2012). It is hilarious.

I have heard of the mafia link before. Send it anyway I'd like to check it out. I doubt that the mafia would have been capable of pulling it off considering the security in place. His assassination was only possible because it was engineered from the inside.
The fact is JFK had many clashes with Ben-Gurion over Israel's desire to acquire nuclear technology.
-

LOL! Yeah, if you like voting for whores. US politicians are all whores that perform for their pimps (financiers). The only exception is probably Ron Paul.

America has always been bolstered by people of all different races with strong individualist spirits coming and making something great out of nothing, due to the beautiful framework that is (was) our Constitutional system. I only say Eurotrash...because whitey (me) is European in ancestry anyway...but we were the ones smart enough to come to America, while the rest stayed and still deal with all the same problems they always had.
America's problem right now is not a race thing, it's an attitude/entitlement thing, which crosses racial boundaries but ultimately will fuck everyone over. It's kinda sad honestly because I see many many peoples coming to America now thinking it's still as free and open but they don't know our own government has ruined everything for almost everyone but the top 5%. Everyone now in America thinks they are entitled to handouts...and the saddest thing is government keeps giving it to them. That's the biggest change...add in Facebook and Youtube and a federal government that spends trillions of dollars even though its trillions in a deficit...and that's what we have now. Sad...I wish it was 1981 again on the heels of Reagan and Madonna and New Wave music and when people still looked at a white man with respect not asking what they could take from him or how he hurt them

Complete bullshit.
Most people do not want to believe or cannot accept the notion that some loser with a twenty dollar rifle could kill the most powerful man in the world. I mean how could this POSSIBLY happen?? But that is exactly what DID happen...no conspiracy needed.
During the 60s and 70s you had more Mafia bosses and higher ups turning coat and testifying against each other than in any other time in American history and not one line of credible information about the assassination of John Kennedy came up. Nor did ANY credible information come about on anyones deathbed.
The mafia killed JFK is complete bullshit.

It is very much a race thing. Or more an anti-white thing. It is all over the place. Whites are only now waking up because they are being forced to. It's either that or fade away like the dinosaurs did. I can see this awakening as I talk to average citizens everywhere.
The only reason there is diversity in the world is because of racial pride - for ALL races. I have no problem with a black being proud to be black (Muhammad Ali - even though he is probably mixed a little - as we all are). Or an Asian for that matter. And no white should ever be ashamed of being white. You are pissing on your grandfather's heritage if you are ashamed of where he came from.

What actually happened was white Americans were on top of the world post WWII to 1950-1960s, so on top and so free to do everything and anything in this beautiful land...that they actually turned on themselves and started hating themselves because they were so much better off than other people. This is what's basically known as a "hippie." So whites who hated themselves started affirmative action and tons of other government initiatives that have ruined social progress, because they stupidly wanted to take themselves down to everyone else's level, after their dads and granddads fought and worked very hard to make their lives so good.
What you see now is not John Wayne or Steve McQueen or Paul Newman's America...far from it, now it's hippie's America aka slowly destroying from the inside America.

No, whites did not want to take themselves down to everyone else's level. Jews wanted to. Yes, Jews look white themselves. But Jews do not identify with whites. They identify and see themselves first and foremost as Jews.
It is no secret that Jews have been behind and supporting the NAACP, ANC, Affirmative Action, Feminism. They have concerned themselves with practically anything related to "rights" of minorities and females, gays etc. You will find very few if any Jews that concern themselves with the "rights" of straight white males. And whites as a race in general. Facts don't lie. I can post dozens of videos out in the public domain supporting this statement.

The smartest Jews, just as the smartest people of any creed or race, still support the same initiatives I do. Milton Friedman, for instance

The late 70s, early 80s had the Mafia turning coat, thanks in part to the Irishman's death (the dude who killed the Irishman I believed ended up being a stoolpigeon)...the 60's was when things were still in the big swing for the Mafia, as Las Vegas was really starting to swing, and mafia connections were still big
-

Infamous perhaps because of who he killed...one of the most charismatic people in recent history but that doesn't make him a "great" assassin by ANY strech! Hell it took him three shots from a relatively short distance to complete the task...hardly the makes of greatness lol!
And the notion that Jack Ruby was there to cover something up is just silly. Testimony from practically everyone that knew him basically states that IF he had known anything he wouldn't have been able to walk down the road without telling almost everyone he passed. He was a two bit, loud mouth, small time club owner who by all testimony had a big heart (we all know this type) and he let his emotions get the better of him in the heat of the moment.
These are the FACTS but y'all stick to your little "conspiracy theories" if it gives you the feeling of being smart or makes you feel like anything you say even resembles reality concerning this topic lol
-
Its real fucking simple and I am not sure if somebody has answered this for you already I am too lazy to read
through all the response posted.
Germans love to complain.
Nothing is ever good enough
Trust me I go through that hell every time I go back home for a visit.
Both of my parents were teachers (my mom partime) my father was a principle.
Back in the days when they were teachers the government was throwing money at them since there weren't enough techers, you had 2 month or so holdidays over the year - good pay - were employed by the state so never had to worry to loose your job or get your pention cut.
My father retired early 8 years ago and since than they have been traveling and enjoying life to the fullest - Iran, 6 month in New Zeeland, multiple tours in the USA 3 month Canada etc etc etc.
But they still complain.... and bitch and moan.
I said to my mom last time when she was complaining that I need to get to Germany more ofton so she can see her Grandson more often - I said.
Mom do you have any idea what its like right now on the free market? YOU NEVER WORKED FULL TIME!!! let me tell you its not nice right now, I have 22 days holdiday and I want to spend them with my family in some sunny beach see something of a different country.
Its pointless.
Its a German thing.
-
Stark couldn't be more correct. I have lived in Germany since 2008, coming here from Australia.
Germans love to complain. They will complain about anything and everything. They're generally a pessimistic bunch and like to find fault with themselves. A lot of the ones I've spoken with envy countries like Australia and the US because of the more optimistic, upbeat and "can do" attitude. Of course, a hell of a lot of them also read this as incredibly superficial.
Germany does have a lot of good things going for it, despite being overly serious, overly ordered and pessimistic, but I can see how someone from here with a slightly open mind would envy a more dynamic feeling country.
-
I like europe
-
Yes very true, the germans do like to complain, its very much a national characteristic.
Having travelled around the US quite a bit, lived in and also worked for an American company, I would say I wouldnt mind living in the US if I had my own business. It seems much easier to do business and start business in the US without having to deal with the european beurocracy that you would face over here.
The difference is that in the US if you "fail" with a business it is seen as part of your resume - not a failure - were in Europe it is, if you fail with a business thats a black spot on your vest - so its this one chance you have.
I've had conversations with entrepreneurs from the US who would proudly count down all the companies they setup and failed.

What major problems? The government system works.... If you are not happy with a president, rest assured you can vote him out 4 years later! Its not a perfect system, but its a GOOD system!
The president has little to do with anything in the US. It's the government as a whole which is the problem. Central planning and intervention into the markets which is why we are in the mess we're in today.
Secondly, democracies are always doomed to go bankrupt, it's impossible due to their mode of operation to not eventually go into deficit. It's an "ok" system but it could be better than what it is.
-
The problem with the US is, in very simplistic terms, the check is finally on the table.
We have spent the last 40 years spending like drunken sailors....and exhausting every financial gimmick and loophole there is to get out paying for shit...now there are no more patsys to pass our debt off to...we can't just print more money anymore.
-
we work to live and americans live to work, quite sad considering we have one life.
-
The difference is that in the US if you "fail" with a business it is seen as part of your resume - not a failure - were in Europe it is, if you fail with a business thats a black spot on your vest - so its this one chance you have.
I've had conversations with entrepreneurs from the US who would proudly count down all the companies they setup and failed.
spot on.
-
Same thing is happening to Australia. Except they say we are 20 years behind the US, but we are catching up fast.
Many great scientists and doctors of German/Indian/Asian descent have come to America and lived very good lives and helped people around them greatly, that is good and it's a beautiful thing when that happens...but this isn't what we have now. The US now is treated like a party house for lots of little nobodys and nobody should be surprised that this party house is being torn apart and foundations crumbling.

Hahahahah, some people still think America is like it used to be back in the 60's or 70's ::) ::)
have you ever been in the US?

A friend of mine from Germany is in town this week to iron out some SAP / Teradata alliance bullshit...
At lunch time, out of nowhere goes on a rant on how "great" life is in the US and how much he envies me. My answer was "well don't you have free healthcare, 6 weeks of vacation a year, free day care, backrubs, a government that doesn't make war in Iraq/Afghanistan, Markus Ruhl, swastikas and other free shit to perk up your bavarian ass?
His answer was: "yes, but it pales to compare to the way of life in the US, that sense of business freedom and entrepreneurship, that everything is possible with no limits..." (germanized)
??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Enlight me.
Thank you!
Ask him, if he could trade places at random with any American citizen anywhere in the continental US would he do so? Then, measure his answer against all that you know about the inequities in American life: the gap between rich and poor, good vs. failing schools, healthcare, race, etc. The grass is always greener on the other side. Your friend is being misguided by his exposure to you, your coworkers, and the quality of life you all enjoy. Most people in America do not live the way you do. Only 27% of the American population has a bachelor's degree. What do you think the life prospects are for the other 73%? :(

yes, the check's on the table, but we'll just do what we've always done. act stupid, excuse ourselves to go to the proverbial bathroom, and run through the back door.
this is where one of your analogies of the muscleman vs a twink would come in handy, because that's what the US is to the rest of the world.

So how long did you live outside the US? Much of your very own argument could be used against you..."the grass is greener" thing. Not just visited, but actually lived in another country.

Basically wherever you have a white majority nation, country or continent, US, Canada, Europe, Oz. The same socialist politics and immigration practices are being rolled out.
Forget about far right politics, isnt it strange how even the right of middle mainstream conservative parties are all in opposition in almost all of the above locations. Its been driven forward as a global agenda.
Exactly. It is being rolled out. Did you see any major voting in Europe, USA, Australia etc. regarding the influx of third world immigrants into these countries? You think these political whores said: "Gee, I think we will bring in a million immigrants from Africa - but let's just first check in with our employers the people to see if they like the idea."?
No, they just let them in with the excuse that it fuels growth and the population needs to grow because of low birthrates. And for the sake of diversity.
Meanwhile this act systematically turns the former first world country into a third world.
The end result is the European cultures are threatened and Europe, USA and Australia may very well end up looking like the rest of the third world. And you have lost diversity in the process. Gone will be these cultures: Irish, Swedish, Danish, German, British, Scottish, Dutch, etc. etc.
Now look at the Japanese. They have a stagnant, aging population. Yet they are not falling all over themselves flooding third world populations (muds) into their country. Smart move. China is also keeping their demographic 99% Chinese. Smart move again.
So what these whores want to see is:
Africa for Africans, Mexico for Mexicans, Japan for Japanese, China for Chinese...
and
Europe for EVERYONE, USA for EVERYONE, Australia for EVERYONE

so you're talking out of your then?
I've visited New York :D
But I mind you I follow super countries quite carefully, their politics etc.
So I can't say from my own experience because I haven't lived there but from what I've read and heard I'm capable to see the decline of USA.
It was "land of free" back in the day, it was a country to make fortunes back in the day, it was country to express freely your political opinions, growth was huge etc.
That's just not the case anymore. You know that. Transformation towards tightly-controlled police state have been dramatic. Decline of economy and possibilities to make it big have declined radically.

land of the free haha :D
This country was founded by a group of slave owners who wanted to be free! So they killed a lot of white English people in order to continue owning their black African people, so they could wipe out the rest of the red Indian people, in order to move west and steal the rest of the land from the brown Mexican people, giving them a place to take off and drop their nuclear weapons on the yellow Japanese people. You know what the motto for this country ought to be? 'You give us a color, we'll wipe it out.'"

I've always taken that as a 'relative expression'; compared to many others that has been quite right until the last few decades.

Is this supposed to be funny? How do you get away with your anti-Jewish remarks and your joking about Nazi stuff? Are you going to say that I should just chill, it's not so serious? You are a sick individual, I can only imagine how you were raised and taught about other races and cultures.

you dont know shit, you can't "buy" government unless government itself enables it. The federal government are America's biggest terrorists, against its own citizenry, against its businesses, against everything it does. As the federal government continues to grow, you all have less freedom, and the USA of old becomes more like every other shitty socialist country everyone fled from to come here in the first place
but this is to be expected, any country with as much freedom as US had to turn shitty eventually...once all the coloreds and misfits realize they can go there and abuse that freedom and be a parasite, it was the beginning of the end of good USA
retard, when people talk about losing freedom they are talking about drug laws, curfews, gay marriage, .. personal freedoms in your private social life. not the "freedom" of big business to go unregulated. fucking dumbfuck repeating off talking points idiot conservatives spew.. funny thing is those conservatives in the GOP read all the polls but dont understand them. hahah. good for the american people though, keeep idiots like you out of office.

lol, regulations as laws in our government do not mean exactly the definition of the word regulation, like regulations that allow for businesses or lenders to do certain things that cause havoc (so the regulation is bad)

The U.S is a lot better than Europe despite the latter's vastly superior quality of life because...Americans can own guns! Lots and lots of guns! Who cares about having superior social development, which is for Eurofags anyway, if in America you can have at home an arsenal capable of defeating a Third World nation? America fuck yeah!

Even with a gun most americans can't defend themselves. They can't defend themselves because most of them are degenerated, obese weaklings. :D

HAHA, yeah, sure it was the mafia. I don't believe that for a second. Jack Rubenstein (Ruby) assassinated Oswald so they would not implicate "us".
In March, 1992, Illinois Representative Paul Findley said in The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, "It is interesting - but not surprising - to note that in all the words written and uttered about the Kennedy assassination, Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad, has never been mentioned."
Considering that the Mossad is quite possibly the most ruthless and efficient intelligence agency in the world, it is peculiar that they have never been scrutinized in relation to the Kennedy assassination, especially when practically every other entity in the world (short of Elvis impersonators) has been implicated. But that all changed in January, 1994 with the release of Michael Collins Piper's Final Judgment. In this book, Piper says, "Israel's Mossad was a primary (and critical) behind the scenes player in the conspiracy that ended the life of JFK. Through its own vast resources and through its international contacts in the intelligence community and in organized crime, Israel had the means, it had the opportunity, and it had the motive to play a major frontline role in the crime of the century - and it did."
Their motive? Israel's much touted Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, who ruled that country from its inception in 1948 until he resigned on June 16, 1963, was so enraged at John F. Kennedy for not allowing Israel to become a nuclear power that, Collins asserts, in his final days in office he commanded the Mossad to become involved in a plot to kill America's president.

Also Kennedy had the orders for the removal of the Federal Reserve. Those orders were quickly rescinded when 'they' put their president puppet in place.

Better standard of living in the USA compared to UK
Much larger properties, cheaper food, larger portion sizes and much more variety. Much cheaper fuel prices and car insurance. It seems like US folks demand and expect higher standards across the board. Much more friendly staff and excellent customer service in US shops, restaurants etc

All theoretical bullshit.

I'm not sure who posted the "only 2X% of the US has a bachelor's degree" remark but that's actually a really good number. USA is among the world leaders in % of the population who finish a university education.
http://www.conferenceboard.ca/hcp/Details/education/university-completion.aspx
If the US is so bad in this regard then the rest of the world is shit too, most of it even worse. Also something like 90+% of US citizens over 25 have finished high school, which is really high globally (used to be #1 a few years ago, not sure now).
