You seem to continually ignore the fact that it is in fact *failing* in
all those large, affluent countries. You can almost graph the level of
Socialism and the high rate of unemployment and see the parallel. The
more Socialism the slower the economy is growing and the higher the
unemployment.

France.

Germany.


Japan? Australia?

What other options are there?


You see to think carrying on about it is one.

They are both very long dead. Believe it or not, things have changed

Which means what, exactly?

Are you trying to teach me to think? I know what it means; you know
what it means; anybody else following this discussion probably knows
what it means

Besides, the better practitioners constantly check on things, and
update their knowledge and skills.


So do I.

In what field or fields?

Following up to Padraig Breathnach

Actually, in order to maintain their right to practice their
professions they are required to complete a mimimum number of
professional education credits within a specific timeframe.


That varies from profession to profession, and from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction.


it applies to my wife's profession to an extent, for what its
worth. they call it continuous professional development.

unfounded assertions snipped.

interestingly, we had a couple of Texans over for diner last
night, its quite interesting to hear reality about the US health
system, its high costs, the people who fall through the ever
widening cracks (quote), the lack of cover for long term existing
conditions etc ..........and the two or at best three weeks
vacation they had in the States.


Too bad you didn't get a dose of reality. The US health care system is
expensive but people are *not* falling through the cracks. Then notion
that there is no long term cover for existing conditions is nonsense.
My sister has been getting treatment for MS for around 3 decades.
Everyone I know gets at least 4 weeks vacation per year.

Interesting about the vacation thing. As I have posted before, new
employees get 1 week vacation the first year and 2 weeks vacation per
year for the next few years. In almost all companies it's 3-4 weeks
after 5 years. The fact that your "friends" only get 2-3 weeks vacation
"at best" indicates that they don't stay at a job very long which would
also indicate why they have problems with insurance coverage and why
they think things are expensive (people who stays at jobs long term
tend to make more money and get better benefits).

So you seem to have accidentally pointed out why their opinions are
somewhat skewed by their own behavior.

On global warming denial they just shook their heads, obviously
opinions like "tchiowas" are common enough over there.


Again, I can back up my statements about gloval warming and you had to
back off yours, claiming you had been "misunderstood".

Mike was implying precisely nothing of the sort, and you know it.


No,


You do know it, or should.


No, youre words were quite clear.

his phrasing was quite specific.


LOL I suppose you think to "beat" someone in a race you have to
attack them?


Did I say "attack" somewhere? I've looked and looked and I don't see
it.

If you "beat" someone in a race or other competition you have to
outperform them. Your performance is better relative to theirs. But
that's not the case with Socialism. It didn't fail because some other
economic system outperformed it. It did not fail because its
performance was bad compared to Capitalism. It failed because of
internal flaws that will force it to fail in all circumstances, whether
there is a better system or not. That's what you don't want to accept.

The reason I'm not bothering with you anymore is that you style of argument is absurd.


Or is it because you keep getting caught saying the wrong things and
have to back off?

France.

Germany.


Japan? Australia?


Australia is anything *but* Socialist, compared to France and Germany.
Japan's economy has been flat for 2 decades.

Care to try again?
