Another question about U.S. politics.?
I lived in Norway most of my life, then in Netherlands a couple decades, back to Norway, then to the U.S. I asked a question earlier that lead me to believe that the people here seem to define words completely differently than the rest of the world. For example everybody yelling about how everything is socialist makes me really laugh because I know the parties back home would detest some of these things. One of the arguments that appears to be common is that since Obama does something that a socialist might support, that he is now a socialist. Well by that logic could we assume that since Marx would support the oil companies giving money to Alaskans as Palin made them do, that Palin is now a Marxist. Of course she is not. And by the way, democratic socialism is not the same as communism, not all socialists are Marxists, and Hitler was not a democratic socialist. After watching TV it seems that all of these things get confused in American's heads. And by the way, allowing gays to marry will not make your society crumble, nor will having fair elections or allowing people to use soft drugs. I am not a member of any socialist parties and was at one point a member of the conservative party of Norway. But it is hilarious to come to the US and see people get so angry about things they don't even understand. In other countries people don't spend an eternity arguing about stupid things like whether or not one human should have the same rights as another human, we all have common sense enough to see that caste systems do not work. Most of our governments time is spent on real issues not stupid bickering. Sorry but I came to the US with some ACTUAL socialist friends and we all just think this is hilarious. I genuinely feel sorry for all of the US citizens who have to put up with the idiocy of your government and people. So, I guess my question is, what the hell is wrong with your country? What could I possibly be jealous of? The US is far below the standard of living for other countries, your country is imploding, you have ridiculously high infant mortality rates. I could go on if I wanted to. FLBeach: you need to stop America from being socialist now? You apparently are one of the millions that don't understand what socialism is. Your country is not turning socialist, that would be like saying we need to stop Norway from hording all of the ham sandwiches. It doesn't make any sense. Colorado: I am actually here because I am going to live with a friend for a bit. So yes the benefit is my friend. It is a little ironic that you mention decrepit nations if you get what I mean. And I am sure you will find that if you live in Norway for a while, you will realize that you are not as free as you seem to believe. The word libertarian is also something I have come to understand that US citizens do not understand. Libertarian is the anarchist brach of socialist philosophy so this makes your comments even more ironic. If you are speaking of the Randian libertarianism which is probably the case, you do not have this either.

"So, I guess my question is, what the hell is wrong with your country?" - Far left Liberals. You're right, America is not a socialist country....and most of us don't want it turning into one either..so we need to stop that from happening now.

So what brings you to the US, Mr. Quisling ? Obviously, there must be some obvious benefit to being here other than your morally deprived, decrepit nation. My suggestion is to go back home and enjoy the copious welfare benefits which Norwegian society gives you. Perhaps it is you who do not understand American society rather than we Americans not "understanding" Maybe you don't understand that many Norwegians came to this country long before you did, because they believed the American dream- much of which is based on libertarian principles which are nonexistent in Europe.
