Based on some things you have said I am sure you are smart enough to know about "productivity". You are probably leaving it out so you can continue indicating you are making a good argument. In case you don't understand productivity. It is why America outproduced the Soviet Union even though America had to pay it's workers more. |

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China. A capitalistic country can financially handle a war better than a communist country. That was what the argument was about when you made the comparison of Russia being in Afghanastan to the US being in Iraq. Gee, I gave you credit for making a couple of good points, don't press your luck. |

I'll retract my comments to say that nobody I know but Obama suck ups don't have a problem with it. I can admit when I am wrong. I do appreciate the links you did provide. I'll take a look at them, though I did notice that you emphasized in another post this: Quote:
Nothing in that conclusion indicates that people who cling to guns and religion are bitter. That is what Obama said. How you can defend it is incomprehensible.

I am not sure what you think you see in the post I emphasized. As is widely documented, the US is, overall, much more religious for its levels of prosperity than other nations in comparable positions. As I noted, however, within the US the general trend still holds that those from poorer backgrounds tend to be much more religious than those from wealthier backgrounds (which is why I gave you a link showing that to be true as well). |
