  2. bloodandwinearered Greece was destroyed before 5 years ago. They are practicing "austerity" to reverse the effect of massive spending.

  3. ***** There is no one great source out there. You should look at all of them. Forbes has some interesting articles. The fact that you choose to ignore them shows how myopic you are. It also is clear how myopic you are in saying you want FOX for "comedic value". There is value in Forbes. Their articles are well laid out and provide information. You may not agree with the facts but they do exist.

  4. Freedom Fighter These same people who rip on your article for being bias will also cite The Huffingtonpost or ThinkProgress.com as if they are not bias

  5. ***** O'Reilly is an opinion guy, he admits that. He isn't news. But at the same time him, and others do state facts that can be verified. Now it is up to those how are intelligent to determine how those stating such facts are using them, as in are they being deceptive. I look at those sources and get information and usually they give a source of where they got their facts. And from there I develop a conclusion. Nothing wrong in citing them as well. Others can poke and prod at the source and either praise it or criticize it for whatever reason. It brings up discussion and other sources and eventually the correct solution or answer.

  6. ***** "they are much better off with their health services, college fees, etc." That is debatable. The US has arguably the best university system in the world. It also has the best healthcare system in the world. The US is number 1 in responsive care, number 1 in cancer survival rates, and number 1 in life expectancy when you remove murder and accidents, things not tied to healthcare. The main problem, and only problem really in healthcare is cost. That is due to lack of a free market. Same is with college education. LASIK is with little regulations and has seen a drop in price. "They also can afford all their social programs because they don't make unnecessarily high investments on their military by having strong alliances with the rest of Europe, and not going to war for no reason." The US spends a lot of money to promote peace. Also those other countries one, have small population thus investment is easier and waste is avoided, and two, they pay in other ways as in lesser quality. "Democratic Socialist countries are amongst the countries with the highest average quality of life, and their healthcare makes them have a longer mean lifespan than America." I just showed you how that is not true. As shown by Robert Ohsfeldt and John Schneider of Texas A&M and University of Iowa, respectively, the US is number one when remove deaths not related to healthcare. " Can we not agree that those countries are doing something right and we need to learn from them rather than being stubborn and stick with the status quo." You can never get me to agree to such a thing. The reason why is because I don't like to compare a country the size of the US to countries the size of smaller than most of our states. Finland has a population of 5.4 million people, smaller than 20 US states. Not a strong comparison. FDR was one of the worse presidents we have had in this country. He led us through the slowest recovery ever and create federal programs that are now problems in our society and only get worse.

  7. ***** There is nothing wrong with citing something from those sources in that it gets others to read them. I don't trust them 100% either, but I do read them and see who is, for lack of a better word, more correct. News sources these days are entertainment. Bill O'Reilly admitted that he is an opinion guy. That is what give views. But just because the source is questionable doesn't mean it is wrong.
