Does David also support raising the standards for admission and retention in the USA to that of Germany? Because, if so, about 80-90% of Americans attending Universities - won't be. See, Germany has an entirely different educational system. One that begins to differentiate students much much earlier. Most Americans wouldn't even make it past the testing requirements to enter a German University - that's a big savings. Most Americans who did make it, would fail out quite quickly - again, more savings. Hell, by the time we adopted the German system we'd SAVE money, because most American university students simply wouldn't BE university students.
My guess is, of those Americans that had the aptitude to gain entry into a University with German entry standards, those students of the accepted cohort would largely be Asian and White from the upper classes whose families could afford the good primary education needed to get into a German-styled University (as opposed to most Government schools) as well as family culture of education (most learning is valued because of the parents value of education - see China, Japan, Korea, Germany, Singapore, Finland, not America..... ). This happened in UC Berkeley - the population of Asian students rocketed from 3% to 40% as soon as the UC system stopped using race in their means testing (many so-called Liberals now want race brought back to unfairly discriminate against Asians). Look at what happened in Ann Arbor this year when a few black students were not given a placement because they couldn't compete at the level required to make it into UofM (even though they did quite well at their local Government school).
So, in short, the German system works in Germany but probably wouldn't be accepted by American voters here in the USA (where 1 in 5 Government schooled American is a functional illiterate) - simply because soon after, most Universities would be barren of students (probably within a few years of trying the German approach).

Let's just go ahead and qualify a few of the statements - least this appear to be another case of fake, or misleading, "news".
1. Most Americans do not own stocks in the stock market.
2. Most of the jobs created under Obama were/are part-time or contract (>94%)
3. Thank god the popular vote doesn't count. If anything, we need to restrict the vote to people who are literate and can pass a simple on-screen quiz about how the government works. That alone will do a lot to end the tyranny of Progressive Socialism.
4. George Soros donated 33 million in grants to the racist movement known as Black Lives Matter via his Open Society Foundations. Those are the racist thugs who pushed Sanders off his podium. Notice how quickly that boot-licker caved in and supported Clinton.
Recall, this foundation is pushing for even more immigration - we'll see how that works out for Progressive Socialist Utopia / Europe (which is turning nationalistic - thankfully).
5. 57% of whichever demographic they chose to 'poll'.... hahahahaha.... talk about a low bar.
Look, TRUMP's victory is evidence that Obama's policies were a total failure (see: ObamaCare). As for what Trump can and cannot do? HE shouldn't be doing anything other than making sure CONgress follows the US Constitution. Making America Great Again is not in the job description of POTUS. Nor is fixing the economy. Sadly, people always want a Nanny State in the form of a dictator to take care of them - and that, I believe, is the end of the road for us here in the USA. No, not the next decade, or three - but, probably within our lifetimes. And probably from the far Left. Though, a far Right dictator is equally as likely. And the David's of the world will be cheerleading us all the way - as long as the dictator is on his side, taking from THEM and giving to US, for the "Good of Society".

French, Italians, Germans, English - these we all different 'races' in the 1800s. I personally know Japanese, Korean and Chinese each of whom have told me they are different 'races'. It's clear to see that 'race' is a social construct. Does DNA play a role in height? Yes, it does. That's not a race. Does DNA play a role in IQ. Probably. That isn't a race either. Does DNA play a role in eye color, hair color, skin color, eye structure, bone structure? Yes. Those aren't races either.
If you're Asian looking and grow up in the the USA, speak English, dress American and have ZERO cultural connection to the East. You're an "American". I'd argue you more English than Asian as you'd share most of your culture from the English (even if you lived in the USA).
Saying you're an "Asian American" only makes sense IF you are suggesting an Asian "cultural" heritage (maybe you were born in Asia or speak Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, etc....).
It makes as much sense as saying I'm a green eyed American. Or suggesting a green eyed Asian is a different 'race' from brown eyed Asians.
I hope that clears things up a little.

We waste $50 BILLION each and every year on the Department of Education/Stupidification - and have been paying for this mess since 1979 with NO gain in education when measured on all aptitudes and have actually regressed relative to many other nations.
Why do people think taking money out of the hands of the middle class and giving it to some moron bureaucrat is a good idea?!? We're now paying more tax than what we fought the Revolutionary War over. Income Tax / Labor Tax is an abomination.
Not that it matters.
There's nothing to do now - so I think we should elect as many Socialist Progressives into CONgress as is possible and sink this mess. Some people need to see it to believe it and so that's the only viable solution. Just tax the hell out of the rich, middle class, poor - everyone. Give it all to the State and let them start more phony wars, bribe more people with boondoggles, the full 9 yards and finally sink this mess of a nation. Finally, when the State has total control over all aspects of our lives, then, maybe, when we're starving to death, people like David will think, Oh, now I see why.

I've said this numerous times, thank the Gods Japanese favor the right to remain and preserve their indigenous monoculture. Its simply so much freer in Japan. No police state needed to enforce progressive ideology. Japanese cities are clean, no graffiti, ultra safe. Children and old ladies can walk anywhere in ANY Japanese city. There are no 'bad parts of town' in Japan. This simply doesn't exist. No slums, no ghettos and no cheap labor force. Just Japanese.
We can leave stock out on the street at night with no worry of it being stolen. We have beer, wine, cigarette and even liquor (rarer) vending machines sitting by the roads with no worry of them being pilfered. We have play ground equipment that's actually fun to play on, not the bubble wrap like in the USA. No worries about being sued. We have bars that seat 5 - that's normal, these would be illegal in the USA. We have restaurants out of the back room of someone's house, again, these wouldn't pass the millions of regulations that keep Americans safe from one another.
Thank the Gods the Japanese have preserved their human right to retain their indigenous monoculture.

Nice that David produces zero evidence of anything (along with all the hysteria in the comments section). Firstly, half my family lives in Japan, I spend a good deal of time in Japan, I was just in Japan a few months ago. Secondly, I've worked with radioactive particles (as part of medical research) in the past. Thirdly, the facts:
1. The radiation is so diluted that NO the California coast is NOT being dosed by Fukushima. Nuclear weapons testing conduced by the USA put orders of maginitde MORE radiation into the Earths atmosphere and it didn't raise the radioactive level of the Pacific Ocean (or any other Oceans). We have that data. It's one microsievert. That's 1/10 a single day's normal exposure from the sun. If you walked outside today for an hour - that'd be that much.
2. Thus, no, radioactive particles are not causing dead sea-life in San Francisco and no 'your friend' did not catch mutated Tuna somewhere once while at Band Camp. Dead sea-life is most likely due to the changes caused by increasing CO2 absorption which is shifting bicarbonate into carbonic acid. One more time, the USA put magnitudes MORE radioactive particles into Earth's atmosphere testing nuclear weapons. This WAS DONE. We have the data. If there were to be an effect of radiation on sea life it would have happened at some point from 1940-1980.
3. Yes, you DO have to worry about radioactive particles in the sea life NEAR Fukushima. Yes, it is possible if a radioactive particle got into the food chain and you could injest it. Believe it or not, you do all the time. That's why we talk about dose. So, you do HAVE radioactive particles inside you right now. Thankfully not that many and unless you live on Honshu, or in Fukushima Prefecture this isn't something you have to worry about.
4. Chernobyl was a much larger nuclear catastrophe relative to Fukushima.
5. Radioactive uranium and polonium naturally dissolves in seawater and has for the last 2 billion years. The oceans therefore have a naturally higher background radioactive becquerel count. Yes tuna and other large fish have radioactive particles in them. AND SO DO YOU.
6. Radioactive waters NEAR Fukushima are higher than normal and you should not allow young children to swim in those waters due to possible radioactive cesium exposure.
7. The leaking radioactive water will need to by dealt with - probably through evaporation which it is what the USA did when 3 mile island melt down.
8. Yes, the place is a mess and yes people will have to clean it up. No, homeless people are not forced to work in nuclear fall out zones. Jesus David - Japan has a general welfare program BETTER than that in the USA. Japan also doesn't suffer from the welfare housing slums because Japanese generally feel shamed for taking a handout other people's taxes paid them. Unlike in the USA where collecting a handout is totally disconnected from the middle class being taxed to death.
Japan is in many ways a much freer country in terms of civil liberty. You can gasp drink a large soda in Japan. Bicycle without a helmet. Vending machines sell cigarettes and beer gasp right out there where anyone could buy them. You can open small home businesses without as many regulations found in the USA making it easier for poor people to create work instead of taking general welfare.
Why are there homeless? For the same reason you find homeless all over England and all over Sydney Australia. Some people do not like to live on general welfare and choose to live on the streets. The same is true in Japan.
Thank the GODS we do not have too many David's inside Japan. Japanese people are generally resistant to this sort of propaganda. Oh, and unlike in the USA, Japanese in general don't trust their government. They think it's funny how Americans like David flag wave for Obama and for years (even now) you can find comical shirts that say Yes We Can taking the piss out of your average ignorant American. Yes, you Americans are seen somewhat as naive and a joke EVEN in Japan!

While "God did it" may seem plausible, it's not the real answer. More people thought "God did it" in 1950 then in 2010. In 1910 you needed to know how to read BEFORE being allowed into a Public School. Now many Public School graduates are functionally illiterate.
Stop and ask yourself this: Did I, or you, write anything logical? Or anything rational? Do you know the difference? Can you write a logical sentence? Is that even possible or does logic require a couple sentences. How many forms of logic do you know? Who invented logic? Who are the top 3 most famous Empiricists? Rationalists? What is Descartes famous for in mathematics? How is Science different from Natural Philosophy? What is an ANOVA used for? And etc...
I'm sure "God did it" is not the reason 99.99% of Americans don't understand these basic concepts whereas educated Americans of 100 years ago probably did. The problems with Education are structural and can not BE fixed. Children are not cars, they cannot be stamped off an assembly line, learning doesn't happen like that.
Anyway, I stand by my statement, we need to elect as many Social Progressives as we can into CONgress. Including the couple jerk-offs with the ad hominems here in this thread. Just keep electing Social Progressives into office. That's the solution.
The good thing is, this IS going to happen. While Millennials overwhelmingly don't trust Government, they also overwhelmingly support greatly expanding it. So, Public School does do one thing correct.
