We haven`t policed the world since 1941.

The problem is though that we are too far into the PC diversity hole.
Ability to qualify discriminates and we can't have that today, can we ?
No, we already have college admissions standards.

Do they have cities like Detroit, Camden, Philly (large sections), LA (large sections), Chicago (large sections), NY (large sections) , St Louis, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, etc which are crapholes with little to no tax base, but live off of the productive of society? Mostly every single large city and small town in America have their ghetto.

In fact, we have many times more recipients than those countries entire populations.

No, we do maintain an enormously bloated military industrial complex for the benefit of this economy and the economies of other nations (the capitalist class).

Specifically, significant military resources are spent securing trade lines and "resource protection" in happy places like the Middle East (coughoilcough)


I'm not sure what we get out of it as a country by bearing the burden disproportionately. I think it's about time we pull back on that sort of nonsense.

They also did not import slaves in millions in 19th Century. They also do not spend billions in Military stationed all over the world.

Diversity has brought nothing but poverty, crime and squalor to middle class America over the last 5 decades.

Staying white equates to good schools and safety.

That's what people really mean when they ask a realtor about safety and good schools.

There is not a single all black school in America that is as safe as an all white school.

That's a fact, Jack!

I'm a realist. If the above makes me a racist, so be it.

You know that I'm right.

Spanish, English and French colonies imported slavery into the America's.

America ended the practice.

Liberals are reinstating it.

But if you wanted to offer free higher ed like those countries do you'd have to change your admission standards.

I'm just saying that if we were to learn from them we'd have to change our rules.
But I think we're too far down this "Everyone's a winner and equality for all" rabbit hole so it's not possible.

Instead, we'll continue on our path to the bottom.

Latvia does better than us for crying out loud.

Really-US became independent in 1776. Slavery was abolished in 1865. That too after Civil war. Why were Confederate States against abolishing slavery? Why was slavery not abolished in 1776 only???
