Laklak, you need to stop house shaming.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

You're kidding. I once had the displeasure to attend the opening of a new hospital wing. It was pure torture. Lizzie has to attend the opening of every envelope in her domains.

No seriously, you can have him.
No, thanks. Been there, done that. Our previous Prime Minister was so bad, he was sacked by his own subordinates. Fortunately, that meant he was no stayer. He got the chop not quite two years after his disastrous ascent.

I wouldn't ask you to further your argument since you didn't even make an argument. However, (a) neither did I, and (b) yes I do.

Oh you do? Where do we start? How about liberty, restraint and servitude in the so-called Scandinavia, assuming its "socialist" enough for .. the purpose of this debate. While at it we can compare various indicators. You know crime and drugs and infant mortality or whatever. Compare to the land of the free. Free .. free to do what? Free to elect president with exceptional powers as survivor of reality show.

You mean "Nordic capitalism," a combination of free market capitalism and a welfare state plus national collective bargaining? If that's socialist, then socialism must now mean a firm commitment to free trade, free markets and private ownership.
