you clearly implied it right here; | quote: | Originally posted by venomX
I do believe that it is the other way around. The US hasn't been catching up to other developed nations in terms of quality of life because of the rampant individualism. If you think any human society can be effective without central management you are terrible misguided. Look at all the 'socialist' countries in northern europe. Sure they have they're own problems, but the quality of life is better and the divide between rich and poor is smaller. Your libertarian and capitalist system, the one you so dearly want only benefits those that are already well established. It's easy to claim that government should be smaller, that people should be freer when you live comfortably and don't have to worry much about what you are going to eat for dinner. |

that said, you'd have to agree that those particular ideals do not apply to my country, any country, as a whole.
