Correct! But neither is any one country in the world. Comparing USA to China is like comparing watermelons to cantalopes (I think thats what their called..

) however comparing the US to the UK is like comparing a watermelon and a grapefruit.
They are all fruit.. But some are much bigger and different then the others. Population make ups are so different that it is unfair to compare them. Some of our corporations are richer then most african countries combined.. what does that tell you?
It tells me that USA is a very rich and populated country.
But i already knew that

Yes, temporarily we can provide aid. And that is exactly what it should be used for. One blow can severly cripple your family, I know. I've been there. However there are many people that take advantage of this system, and it happens in every free enviroment. People that won't work and have children just so they get more money.. and my tax money goes to supporting them! I hate that thought.

I second all that.
More childern for more money?
I'm speechless!

And the old chinese proverb is wonderous too. But people (in America) nowadays are either A) wanna live the thug, white trash, and bum life

Are to conservative and believe in their own superiority, and C) Liberals that think we should give alot more to group A) We have free "forced" education untill your 16, then you can decide if you want to stick with it or not. However, in my school alone 1/3 of my entire class is not expected to graduate. Why? Is it because welfare? No it is because of the decay of moral society and affirmative action.
Well,that's another issue.A moral issue,that is needless to say,completly wrong.
It's on country to help those who need social help,and not to help those who abuse it.
In the Neds it's quite simple:They give you an offer to work.You refuse.You can get two more oportunitys and if you refuse them too,you lose your social help.The country doesn't want to stimaulate people to be lazy bums

Offcourse there are ''witty'' people who know how to bypass the system and get the social help.They are mostly just playing sick.But look at it this way:You get 800 Euro\per month with social help.That's enough for food,a small apartment,hygiene and some clothes.Something of a minimum that human being needs.But those who work,can buy themselves a lot more.They can make Bank loans,they can buy apartments,cars,go on vacations etc. So if you ask me,it's better to have a job than be unemployed

Err.. Shelter doesn't always mean like a tin shack or something. A homeless shelter generally is a fairly decent place with showers and bathrooms and of course cooking areas.
Sorry.I have no idea how do shelters in USA look like.O\I just imagined the ones in my country.

I would agree for you their. Medical care is incredibly expensive here.. But do you know why? Its because your have these NO CLASS citizens that will sue a doctor because they believe something went wrong! So a doctor needs 9+ years of training to find it safe to practice. But after nine years of school (and school bills) wouldn't you expect a little pay-up? And what about that emergency fund incase a person decides to sue you for reasons you can't stop? Who do I blame? The idiots that let court cases like that win. And that usually happens to be pro-liberal judges.
IMHO that's not an excuse.What if some average class man who works hard gets sick?Like he needs a heart surgery or such,and his ensurance doesn't cover that?
How come that here in the Neds health insurance isn't that high,and people are protected from everything?People can sue doctors here too.I didn't think that's the reason.
