*Because they have an excellent universal health care scheme.
* Because they have a longer life expectancy than Americans.
* Because the recently ranked No 1 as the happiest nation on the planet (America comes in at 31)
* Because their nation has a trade SURPLUS of over a trillion dollars
* Because Donald Trump is not the President there.

Because the America of Trump is fast becoming a racist shithole.
@RodionRomanovitch There is racism, and there is reality. Accepting the world as it is, and processing that reality is called racism by far too many people. "It doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." People are rejecting truth now because of the fear of being called racist. There is a difference between the general behavior of cultures, and it is only common sense to prefer people from productive non violent cultures in your country, and not wild eyed ghat chewing blood thirsty superstitious religious fanatics, or people who seem to have violence coded on their DNA. Look at the world and accept the truth.

@puck61 Well now that you have an unabashed racist for a President , that makes it ok then , right ?
@RodionRomanovitch Trump is not racist. 'Racist' is fast becoming a completely worthless word because it is being used irresponsibly by irresponsible people. It's disgusting because it is doing horrible damage to society.

@puck61 Someone who does and says racist things is a racist , so by that measure the President of the United States is a racist.
@RodionRomanovitch It is not racist to make good responsible choices. I'll use the 'scorpion' analogy again.
Bark scorpions can potentially kill you. Vinageroons only leave a welt. Pseudoscorpions are harmless. Most people can't tell the difference. They are scorpions. They look like scorpions.
If you look at the murder victims of gun violence in all the major cities in the United States you will see that the overwhelming majority of victims and perpetrators belong to one particular ethnic group. The pattern could not be clearer, even though this group only represents a cross section of 13% of the US population. Now look at Africa, and you see the same exact pattern in most countries on a domestic level. The same pattern exists within the Latino community, and the same pattern exists in their countries of origin. This is not racism. This is just plain fact. This is reality and people need to stop pretending it isn't there.
It is the content of one's character and not the color of one's skin, but the fact that this behavior seems to be genetic has to be acknowledged and processed. Good decisions require hard choices. Do we all have to accept a lie because it has been determined that the truth is racist? The reality of the behavior patterns of certain groups , whether in Honduras, or Somalia, or the United States, cannot be ignored when it comes to the safety of productive people.

This also why I believe 'profiling' is common sense and not a human rights violation. How in the world could the police do their job without profiling?

To identify a group through profiling or stereotyping may not be actively racist. To denigrate and actively select them for disadvantageous treatment based solely on that profiling certainly is.
Medical triage is performed based on medical need and the likelihood of a good outcome. Not based on the colour of ones skin.@puck61

@puck61 What I see here is a very ignorant old man who is stuck in a box. What about the problems you have in the white community. The opioid addictions. Heroine addictions
Crack addictions and meth
What about the mass hysteria and mental breakdown and men resorting to violence and the domestic terrorism of white men here in the US
And how about
Suicide rates. Road rage tragedies. Poor cities and towns in West Virginia and Kentucky. And all of those people on welfare because they don't have jobs in the Rust Belt or the Fly Over Zone in the MidWest
What about the poor European crapholes like Syria. Serbia. Albania
Slovakia and western Russia and the 25 percent of people unemployed in the UK and in Spain. I think you were just taught to be ignorant but you are someone who doesn't have any humanity or real knowledge about this world you hateful old ignorant man. ☺
@Zonuss Reality conflicts with your narrative.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@puck61 No. You're someone who ignores reality.
@Zonuss I'm sorry, but 'you' are the one who seems to be ignoring reality. Look at the victims and perpetrators of gun and drug crimes in all the major cities in the United States, and tell me how the vast majority represents a cross section of 13% of the population. The evidence is overwhelming and to deny reality is sheer lunacy.

@puck61 When it comes to crime race is not an issue. 99 percent of blacks kill blacks
99 percent of whites kill whites. 99 percent of Mexicans kill Mexican. See the pattern you racist idiot. 🙂
@Zonuss You're just another person who no longer knows what a racist is. 😄
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@puck61 What we have is a reckless blowhard who is an irresponsible president.

@puck61 You're a dumb man.

@RodionRomanovitch Pezza. Notice how Puck totally evaded that summary I just wrote above here. He won't and can't acknowledge the truth because he isn't man enough to do it.
@Zonuss Best president since Reagan, maybe even better. Trump has done more for the black community in one year than the ultimate pretender, Obama, did in eight years. I don't understand black people who fall for the phony democrat nonsense. They are the same democrats who brought us Jim Crow, and George Wallace, and the KKK, but they are using different tactics, and too many black people are being bamboozled by their subterfuge.
It's called discernment.
Try it.
@Zonuss ". Notice how Puck totally evaded that summary I just wrote above here. He won't and can't acknowledge the truth because he isn't man enough to do it."

In 1895 it snowed at sea level in Tampico Mexico.
It snows in Tampico.

These two sentences are examples of how you are thinking. Both statements are true, but it would be ridiculous to pack your ski's for a trip to Tampico.

Use your head.

@puck61 You're a liar because in my region here in the Southeastern US many blacks were being employed at a rapid pace sense 2010. Trump is piggybacking from Obamas success because we all know he is a phony con man who believes his own lies. The good news is that the world is now starting to see right through him.
@Zonuss 😄
