USA Ranks 27th in Social Justice

Nope, that's the definition of "justice." If you put a qualifier in front of the word, then the result must refer to something different. So-called "social justice" refers to organized plunder, not justice.

"justice

"The state or characteristic of being just or fair.
"The ideal of fairness, impartiality, etc., especially with regard to the punishment of wrongdoing.

"Justice was served

"Judgment and punishment of a party who has allegedly wronged (an)other(s)."

justice - Wiktionary

That's the definition of "justice."
Placing the adjective "social" in front of it changes nothing about the ideals of fairness and impartiality it imparts to anyone who isn't "as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human being to be."

So "social justice" is indistinguishable from "justice?" In other words, the term is absolutely meaningless.

You are just not good at this logic stuff, are you?

By your "logic" placing the adjective red in front of Chevy transforms the vehicle into a Harley-Davidson.

You can tell the study that the OP is based on is bull shit, you can tell because it uses healthcare as a factor.

The connection between social justice and quality health care seems straightforward.

"A foundation in Germany has analyzed the social justice records of all 31 members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), ranking each nation in such categories as health care, income inequality, pre-school education, and child poverty. The overall performance by the United States — which boasts of being an egalitarian society — outranks only Greece, Chile, Mexico, and Turkey. Actually, three of those countries performed better than ours in the education of pre-schoolers, and Greece did better than the United States on the prevention of poverty."

Why would you think health care is irrelevant?

There is nothing Christian about socialism.

"Christian Socialism, movement of the mid-19th century that attempted to apply the social principles of Christianity to modern industrial life.

"The term was generally associated with the demands of Christian activists for a social program of political and economic action on behalf of all individuals, impoverished or wealthy, and the term was used in contradistinction to laissez-faire individualism.

"Later, Christian Socialism came to be applied in a general sense to any movement that attempted to combine the fundamental aims of socialism with the religious and ethical convictions of Christianity."

The connection between social justice and quality health care seems straightforward.

Only to morons like you who can't even define the term "social justice."

Why would you think health care is irrelevant?

Since "social justice" is just a euphemism meaning "organized plunder," it's entirely relevant. Mass expropriation of private property is appropriate. The end point of pursuing "social justice" is a Soviet style command economy.

Ranking low in the category of legalized robbery isn't a bad thing. The Problem is we arent nearly ranked low enough. Government shouldnt be taking money from anyone and giving it to others.

We the people should be free to not work for the government, but to work for ourselves.

Cripes, george acts like he has a woody for socialism.

And people like you think you're going to get cooties just by mentioning the word "social" in a sentence.

 

[koshergrl]

Are you implying commies are infested?

 

[Steelplate]

No I am commenting on right wing paranoia.

 

[koshergrl]

It's a fact that communist populations have a higher level of parasitic infestation, however.

 

[Steelplate]

Funny... I don't consider my fellow countrymen parasites.

You consider round and tapeworms countrymen?

We the people are the government.

Our elected representatives (Republican AND Democrat) have sold themselves to the highest bidders among us, namely the 1% of the population who recently benefited from one of the greatest examples of legalized robbery in world history.

From EnonoMonitor:

"I previously summarized research that two of my graduate students, James Felkerson and Nicola Matthews, are conducting on the Fed’s bail-out. Using data that the Fed was forced to release, they demonstrated that the cumulative total lent and spent on assets by the Fed was over $29 trillion..."

That doesn't mean $29 trillion has gone out the door, as of November 2011 there was just under $1 trillion in loans that are still outstanding. What it does mean is that excessive long term lending to banks at virtually 0% interest rates allowed them to fund their positions with junk and stay open while being technically insolvent.

The big banks are still insolvent and making matters worse by speculating in commodities, European debt and equities.

"All of those shoes will drop."

When they do the 1% in this country will use "we the people" again to backstop their losses.

Who will you blame when that day arrives?

OWS or Wall Street?

I don't bend over for capitalism, do you?

"According to a team at Bloomberg News, at one point last year the U.S. had lent, spent or guaranteed as much as $12.8 trillion to rescue the economy. The Bloomberg reporters have been following that money. Alison Stewart spoke with one, Bob Ivry, to talk about the true cost to the taxpayer of the Wall Street bailout."

You probably don't consider yourself a parasite either, but nevertheless you are.

Being born in the same country doesn't automatically make you my ally.

That isn't capitalism. It's socialism.

Let me get this straight, a foundation in a European country that murdered it's "social problems" a mere 70 and 80 years ago and authorized shooting it's citizens in the back for trying to escape the "wall" about 40 years ago wants to lecture the United States about what? How many illegal aliens does Germany authorize? You can bet your ass-ets that the American left just loves this shit.

Good. I'd like to see us lower but it's a start.
