Politics

[Altissimo]

Our nation has freedom of/from religion, pushing any sort of belief on kids in our schools violates that. Would you want muslim beliefs pushed on you in a public school?

nooo you just said you weren't going to make a counterargument (i saw that!) and i was gonna say it was a smart decision to do so

I'm not a Hillary fan but she is also a Christian and neither her nor Trump seem very big on religion. Not sure why God would pick one or the other here, both have some rather terrible policies. I would even say that Trump's are less Christian than Hillary's whether they work better or not..

Regarding socialism, I mean, what people think of socialism and also what people generally want when talking about socialism are two drastically different things.

Most people who are progressives/left/"label themselves as socialists" really want something more akin to a social democracy, or the nordic model of capitalism.

Basically, large social welfare systems (free/very cheap cost of tuition for college / education / free healthcare / utilities etc.), where the money is funded through high taxes (usually upwards of at least 30% of your income). But, since you won't require to pay so much for what was mentioned before, you generally have a much larger disposable income (aka what you can spend on frivolous / entertaining means), since it won't be paid for that hospital visit or that college tuition or whatever.

It's one of the main reasonings why many european countries / countries with this social democratic system are considered the happiest / highest standards of living in the world.

Taxes are less "stealing your money" and more "chipping money into a pot that everyone gives and takes when there is a need". It really has nothing to do with "government control", and generally makes people's lives easier, across all economic classes.


Also, like, god, not everyone believes in it, so it shouldn't be forced onto those who don't believe in it. Hence why government should have a complete separation of religion and state, to stay unbiased regarding policies and stay completely neutral. What the US has regarding religion is seriously backwards, honestly.

Sorry guys for going overboard with all the politics stuff and making some people mad. Can you guys forgive me?

if I can continue, It's just your view that you've decided who God has ordained to be President even though it's just your own political beliefs. Did God speak to you and tell you that Trump is the right President for our country? If not you're just playing God and deciding what he does/doesn't want.

We're not mad though, don't need to forgive you. It's your beliefs and we're here to discuss/counter
