Education a right ?

[The Rabbi]

While I certainly owe a debt of gratitude to the Danes for their actions in WW2, esp for saving my wife's great uncle, who settled in Randers after the war, their present state is atrocious. 50 years of socialism have ruined the country.

You're jealous. So am I.

Hell, I'd still be in school right now if I was a Dane.

Instead, I gotta work 1/3 the year to pay taxes to help support a Military to protect Dope Smoking Danes from The Evul Communists.

Their 2009 unemployment rate was 4.3%, and only 12.1% live in poverty.

And I remind you these statistics were compiled by the CIA, an entity which Samson is currently paying taxes to support when he could be in school in Denmark.

I cant be bothered to read all those pages, so I will just give my point of view.

Being a dane, I think education is a right and I would even say that I dont like the american education system.

In my country education is free and I will never have to worry about being able to afford going to college as I can imagine many americans are and will.
When we turn 18, we will get paid around 1000 euro each month for as long as we are students. I have no idea what that is in dollars, but my guess is around 1500 dollars.

This is a major difference between Denmark and the US.

This makes sure that everyone who wants an education, can get one no matter their economical status.
The phrase be all you can be really comes into play here.

All men are equal the declaration of independence says, but how can they be equal if not everyone can get something as basic as an education.

Education is not "free." This is a fallacy.
Probably explains why Denmark is a third rate Euro-socialist failed state.

Let's not be in such a rush to judgement.

Imagine the USA reducing the size of our military to the size of Denmark's Tuba Playing Army?

Maybe we could pay every 18 year old $1000/mo (INDEFINATELY!) to sleep until noon, take a class, "Benefits of Socialism 101," and then smoke legal dope in a coffee shop the rest of the day.

Of course, we'd need to dupe some super-power into protecting our freedoms, but if the Dutch can do it, Why Can't We?

I wish you would not make posts like this, it goes against what I want to think of you.

How much of that economy is from Vesta, I am curious what the Danes do with all the pollution from the materials that go into building a windmill, seriously, do they have a very educated plan, because as it is now Vesta is one of the largest polluters on earth. Sure the Vesta manufacturing facility in Denmark is clean but that is where the assembly takes place, what about all those factories in China they import materials from, what do the Danes do about that pollution.

Of course we cannot expect a Dane making a thousand bucks a year as a student to take the time to read all our posts so we are just talking to ourselves but its still a good question even if The Dane cannot be troubled to read our responses.

This person cannot be from Denmark.

this arrogant, the great dane

In the USA a great dane is a dog, pretty funny.

I can't be bothered, please, this is a set up, this is a user with multiple accounts having fun like good liberal/marxist always have.

Seriously, I see through this, I work with enough europeans to recognize a liberal/marxist disguised as or impersonating someone else.

This is another liberal/marxist talking shit and stirring the pot.

This is not a man or woman from Denmark.

 

[The great dane]

First of all.
Dope isnt legal in Denmark and we dont have coffee shops, that would be the Netherlands.

Yes, one University in California graduates more people in one year than all of Denmark's universities. However there is a lot more people living in the US than in Denmark, so of course that may be true.
The question here is, how many graduates would you have if you were as many as us? I guess we will never find out.
Yes, the US have invented a lot of things, but with a larger population comes a larger chance of someone doing something like that.
Just because something was invented in the US, donsnt mean it was only americans inventing it.
Lets look at the A-bomb, one of the things that have had a major impact on our history.
It was made in the US, but the famous Albert Einstein was a part of the Manhattan Project and he was no american. Same thing can be said about Niels Bohr who also was a part of the Manhattan Project, he was actually danish. Both of them contributed a lot to making it.

Someone said that if your army was a small as ours you would be able to pay your students too. Once again you have to remember that the population is way bigger than that of Denmark. We may have a small army compared to that of the US, but we also have a small population.

I can see that some of you think socialism is bad and ruining my country, how is it ruining my country?

I just returned from school, so thats why I havent answered and I am really from Denmark.

Wow.

The USA must have half the population of the planet living within its borders to = per capita Military Spending of Denmark:

 

[The great dane]

Wow!

Talk about using the money where it matters

 

[mdn2000]

Wow!

Fake poster, not from Denmark

 

[Samson]

Wow!

That's my point: The USA spends WAY more than necessary on Defence.

But, as far as European Nations are concerned, Norway does more than its share:

Norway amongst the top 15 military spenders
[17.06.2009, 03:31pm, Wed. GMT]

Norway spends more on military per capita than any other European nation, according to the latest figures from Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Norway spent USD 5,9 billion on its military in 2008, and that is far down on the list of the world’s different nations spending on military. In comparison, Russia spent USD 38 billion on its military in 2008. But if you divide the military spending by population, the figures are somewhat different.

Based on the figures from Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) the Economist.com made the list of the world`s top 15 military spenders per population. Russia is not even on the list, while Norway is number six, after Saudi Arabia. The list’s No. 1 is Israel.

Norway spends USD 1,250 per person on its military.

Looking into the total global defence spending, Norway is far down on the list, while Russia is No. 5 with an estimated 4 percent share of the global military expenditure in 2008. Russia is after Great Britain, but before Germany, according to the figures presented in Economist.com. The United States is No. 1 on that list, with an enormous 41,4 percent share of the world’s total military expenditure.

In percentage of gross domestic product, Russia spent 3,5 percent in 2007, while Norway spent 1,5 percent. The 2008 figures is not available yet.

Seriously, why is it so hard to believe im from Denmark?

 

[mdn2000]

Seriously, why is it so hard to believe im from Denmark?

Because after using perfect spelling and punctuation you intentionally misspell im.

The Great Dane, that is too funny, arrogant, unlike many Europeans.

You cannot be bothered, this statement was meant to incite my bigotry, only a Liberal/Marxist is stupid enough and arrogant enough to think conservatives will automatically get racially hateful over such comments.

It was a good attempt and tricked me briefly but I caught on immediately. Next time try posting under different topics, build up a bit of credibility, than you can attack the USA with a bit more ease as if you have the insight of someone from Denmark.

My friends from Spain would of been all over me had I baited them like I did you, to denigrate windmills to a Dane would of been like calling American Apple pie no better than Cow pies.

If your going to play the part you have to take the bait when one baits you.

Why do you care?

If it makes you feel any better, I don't.

mdn2000 is from Finland, don't pay attention to his Foolish Finnishness!

You bastard, after I tickled you pink you said you were not going to tell anyone.

I let that one go and this is what I get.

Denmark is currently the most taxed country in the OECD and the world with an income tax of up to 59%[1]

Denmark: Budget slipping into the red
I hadnt realized Denmark is an oil producer. I wonder what their budget would look like without oil r evenue.

Mark Steyn makes a great point this week about how the United States makes it possible for all these Euro-socialist countries to spend on social welfare, but that there's no such backstop for us if we go the same route. Excellent piece. Don't miss a word.

They get a lot more for their tax dollars than we do. But please feel free to ignore that fact.

Mark Stein sounds like a self righteous piece of shit. I'm pretty sure Europeans pay for their social welfare with their own money and under their own laws.

Europeans can do whatever the fuck they want in their own countries. That doesn't mean you're going to find the majority of Americans willing to live on 41 cents of their dollar, all the while crossing their fingers and hoping someone ELSE will bail them out if they have a national defense problem.
