So you're comparing a bunch of liberal college students and a few professors to an entire nation of people thriving in a socialist environment? That's like me saying I know asian culture because I've been getting my nails done since I was 10. If you have been to Scandinavia then you know why I ask you this. They are happy fucking people. Friendly and educated and interested in the arts and culture. They have no problem paying high taxes because of what they get for their taxes. There are plenty of wealthy people there but very few poor ones and none living in squalor or homeless and they know there kids will have food every day and if they are sick it won't cost them their livelihood. Plus they don't live on credit like we do here in the US and ride bikes to work and enjoy life.
After some drinks you wouldn't be able to keep your mouth shut or you'd cave in and admit how nice it is but then blow your brains out in a fit of shame.
What exactly is your purpose in bringing such discussion to the general talk section?
Unless you think it is cute or something.
Or more likely, just trying to get on my nerves.
But to answer your comment. A major university is a pretty good place for gauging and being subjected to the liberal viewpoint and conservatives are generally in the minority.
John Edwards and Erskine Bowles both have been within 10 feet of my section during basketball games.
