If you look at the countries with the best education systems and social welfare programs (math/science/foreign language) you can see that these countries are largely pro-evolution.

Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark are just a few examples, but there are more. These countries are overwhelmingly subscribers of evolution without a magical being who made people out of clay and were tricked into evil by a talking snake at a magical tree that gave never-ending life if you ate it's fruit.

Oops. The (math/science/foreign language) part should have been next to best education systems not social welfare programs. American education has failed me.

these are also nations that have to manage their resources properly since they don't have much. It's very different there then it is in the USA.

great explanation of how its very different. not.

they have higher tax rates and a (gasp!) socialist government. sure there arent many mega rich people there but there are a whole lot of people with a house, food, job, and if they so wish, cars. they have health care and access to good education. if they so wish they can go to university which is mostly free to everyone.

but yet in the richest country in the world people are living on the streets in increasing numbers as our national education gets worse and worse. not to mention our decaying infrastructure. our airports are a joke compared to most international airports in the rest of the world.

this is largely due to belief in the "american dream" which is a falsehood and hasn't existed for half a century.

can't wait to move out of the states again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] forgot how awful this country is

I was referring to their natural resources. and wasn't flaming you. I actually admire those countries.

and I wouldn't call USA rich, China owns USA now and has for many years. I can see how it would be easy tho thing it's a rich country however.
