  1. Yeah life is cruel, but that isn't evidence for afterlife. What you're doing here is wishful thinking. Also you have no logical reasoning that afterlife would exists only if there is good and just god. Heck there could be one even if there was evil and sadistic one as well. Your second point. How do you know god is not physical? And just because something isn't physical, it doesn't mean that there is non-physical reality. You keep leaping into conclusions. Like if god is not physical (not even proven by you), then there is non-physical realm (not logically proven), therefore humans have to have non-physical side. There is literally no way you can jump into those conclusions by using logic and reason. Also existence of afterlife isn't tied to existence of a god. Btw jews don't believe in afterlife. This whole video seems to be appeal to emotions. So what if life has no meaning? You make meaning in it for yourself. You will get numb to all the horrors of the world eventually and stop thinking about them and move on. There is no need to believe in fairy tales to keep yourself sane. We are resilient specie.

  2. +ConservativeMirror I'm all for equal rights regardless of the sexual orientation. Gay couple should get same benefits as straight couple. But last time I checked most conservatives were against of gay marriage simply because they didn't think it's for state to decide, but for the church itself. Now the only real problem in here was that people who marry will get certain benefits. Not the fact that you cannot marry in church. It's no longer separation of state and church when state decide how church is suppose to act. The whole debate over the subject has been huge strawman since beginning.

  6. +Hedley Quintana No they don't. Left thinks that government should be even bigger. While right says that it should be smaller. Left doesn't still understand what allowed crony capitalism to appear.

  7. +Blitzmaschine It's analogue for people who fail to understand economics. More realistic one would be "socialism is great until you run out of other people's resources." Socialist don't understand economics, hence they think it's zero sum game. They don't realize that wealth is created. They simply believe that there is fixed amount of wealth and all of it is hoarded by the rich people. Not only that, but they don't even understand what wealth is. In their eyes wealth = money. Which is very wrong. Wealth is anything that has a trade value.

  8. +auregamer5 Socialism is system where government/collective owns the means of productions and decides the distribution of the goods. Socialism/capitalism is more of a spectrum. Not that many country have full on socialism or capitalism on this planet. However it's a fact, that any country that is more socialist than capitalist, always ends up being a shithole. In case of venezuela. Lot of private industries were turned into public ones, not only that government regulated private industries with heavy hand and had large tax rate on them. Making things worse, they even did price control. Therefore not a single private company in Venezuela, actually had much control over their own means of production and distribution of goods. After these socialist policies were implemented, the growth started to decline. Wealthy Venezuelans left the country, and no one had any interest to create their any new companies, since it was almost impossible to even run one due all the reuglations, price controls and taxes. Venezuela single handedly destroyed their local industry. Not only that, but a lot socialist politicians that people like you worship, all stated that Venezuela was divine example of socialism being good. Bernie and corbyn both praised it and wanted to run their country in similar manner. But the moment it became clear for everyone that Venezuela was a failed state. All socialists suddenly came up and said "that's not true socialism" or simply ignored that Venezuela even exists.

  10. +Waltham1892 False, war ended on USA's part on peace. Peace that was forced due popular opinion that was against the war. USA was in reality very close to win the war. Now vietnam is a shit hole, thanks for hippies. Hippes gave viets enough power to slaughter southern vietnamese and establish corrupted regime, that even today makes people in vietnam suffer. "The war was lost because there was no way to win it." False, Literally every millitary historian agrees that war would've been won. The last push Viets did did exhaust all of their resources, it was basically their attempt to make public in USA think that they have no chance.

  12. +anarchist kitty Being leftists means that you're collectivists. Aka biggest cancer on the planet. Also social democracy is socialism if you actually check the encyclopedia's definition of it. They believe turning society into socialists society through slow and peaceful means. Most people in west are right centrists without even realizing it. And high majority supports capitalism. Capitalism is the very reason why west isn't similar shit hole like rest of the world.

  16. +Zaza Quit Yet no other oil country collapsed like Venezuela. Nothing but bunch of excuses from people who are illiterate when it comes to economics. Also socialism/capitalism is a spectrum. Venezuela had highly regulated and taxed economy and not only that but government had turned several private sectors into public ones. Admit it already, socialism doesn't work.

  17. Narednik Lobanja "The church has the business to decide which couple they can bless, it is not their decision to ban all other from getting married outside their church. " Expect now they don't have a choice, now they are forced by the state to allow everyone to be blessed under them. Again this is merely semantics and word play. you literally would have no problems getting through same rights if you used difference language. "and why would you stop them from getting married in the town house? " Strawman. Disgusting one in fact. I have multiple times stated that I'm all for equal rights. I'm not against gay people getting married. I'm simply stating the retarded problem that you people have.

  21. Hedley Quintana "I don't think it has to do with the "size" of the government. " Bigger the government is, the more  benefits people can get out of bribing government officials. Simple as that. " It has to do with clear rules, and a guaranteed severe punishments against those nasty conducts..." So did soviet union. Yet corruption and bribery was rampart. 
    11
  22. thisnotjesus "Big government has nothing to do with corruption, " Huoh... another person who fails to understand nature of corruption. What sort of people want to have power? Usually psychopaths and sociopath. In rare cases normal people. Now if all power is in one place and we have group of people who have morals at all working there. What do you expect to happen? You think they will be goody shoes who won't take bribe money? There is a reason why every communistic revolution has ended up into failed state. Because all power in one place is most easiest place to corrupt.

  25. Waltham1892 "I'm sorry, but there was no way to win the war under the conditions it was being fought." IT was, the last push viets made was last ditch effort. They were losing men and ground.  "We would not invade the North and not attack supply routes or ships bringing military supplies to the North. " You need to study some military history. Victory was actually pretty close.  "This meant that as long as the North was willing to fight, the war would go on." Wars aren't run by will. They are run by stomach and money. "With the war so unpopular in the US, that wasn't an option for us." That is all thanks to leftist and hippies. Now look how south vietnamese suffered because of these "peace" loving idiots.

  27. Narednik Lobanja " the church has no business in the public discourse as we separated church and state 300 years ago." So church has no business in deciding which couple their religion should bless? Even if it goes against their very teachings? " And also republicans try to stop gay marriage as a whole, as gay people don't get married in the church. " False, I cannot talk for all republicans, but when it comes to the gay people not getting married in the church is simply outright false.

  28. Fin, here. Our economy is currently ruined. World class free education? You have no idea what you're talking about. Our education isn't that special as you think, plus it's not free as you think. You see we have school books which cost like a fortune. In fact were currently planning to cut from education. Which is funny because now we will have worse education than before and we don't even have decent alternative. "and we have 1.6 trillion student debt that our students can't really pay it. " You have to love those democratic policies... After all they wanted to increase student loan which in fact increased the amount of money you needed to have in order to get into college.

Also by definition according to cambridge dictionary Publicly-owned means: a publicly-owned company or business is owned by the government. There is no difference between public owned and state-owned. Which means socialist advocate that new political overlords own all the means of productions.

  34. Stephen Greenwood USA is mixed economy. Where they mix capitalism with socialism. This always leads into cronyism.
    8
  35. Stephen Greenwood Nope, Cronyism only exists in mixed economy where socialism and capitalism both are used. It's based on the very concept that government interferes with business. Which means that corporations use lobbyist to make laws to benefit their company while hindering competition. It's pretty typical in socialist economies.

  36. +robert bray Not only that, but people never ask the question... Why didn't capitalist countries with oil collapse because change in oil prices? It all comes back to socialism. Venezuela is rich from natural resources... It takes socialism to fail country like that.

  37. +tastypie "Biggest socialist country on earth, described by its leaders as "socialism with Chinese characteristics" = $16.6k GDP per Capita. " It's also VERY LARGE COUNTRY which has most population on the planet. China was a shit hole before their government allowed certain sectors to be privatized. But it's still known from high level of corruption and they have a large bubble. Their economy has been in decline, while their debt has been increasing even more to the point that they most likely cannot even pay it. Give it a decade or two and you will see it being like Venezuela with it's current spending rate. "The problem in Venezuela isn't Socialism, it's dictatorship." Socialism always leads to dictatorship. If you weren't useful idiot, then you would know this. Also socialism is precisely the problem. They used that dictatorship to nationalized and to remove lot of private sectors. "But pure capitalism does not work either. You need a healthy mixture. " Mixture leads into Cronyism. EDIT: Also GDP Is worthless measurement. GDP was high during WW2, yet life of the people wasn't really pleasant was it? It's the quality of life that determines the wealth of the country. Not the GDP that can be easily manipulated.

  38. +Auregamer5 My description is exactly how marx defined it, and how dictionaries and enclypedias define it. You simply don't understand what socialism is. In fact, soviets would've called you as useful idiot for that. " social democrats shall be the first to enter the gulags" I'm well aware of that. That is why they are called as useful idiots.

  40. Dushyant Goel I'm not trying to affect your bedroom, but whole same-sex marriage is about allowing state to decide which is right and wrong for the bedroom. As I stated before relationship regardless of the sexual orientation should all have same benefits by the law. Now religious ceremonies are totally different thing.  You see whole same sex equal rights would've passed much easier if instead of demanding that you should have a church wedding, you should have equal law giving benefits from being together with your lover.

  42. Tevo77777 "The conservatives wanted a big goverment thousands of years actually." You clearly don't understand what conservatism is. And the great irony here is that the "progressive" people are actually making bigger government. OH you don't think that laws against free speech are for bigger government? "The size of a state has nothing to do with left or right, because socialists and libertarians want to abolish the state." You just proved that you have no clue what you're talking about. Libertarians aren't for abolishing the state. They are for smaller government. Not to abolish it. You're mixing up anarcho-capitalists with them.

  44. +Berning Sandwiches " Your so called arguments don't even have facts backing them up." How is that any different from what you had said before? " Its just you expressing your feels. " I thought that whole socialism as idea was used to express feels. " You obviously don't know the meaning of socialism" Socialism: Economic system where means of production and distribution of goods are owned by the government/collective. "because it's too vague a term to describe any one system. " It's not vague at all. marx stated it pretty clearly. Dictionaries and encyclopedias state it pretty clearly. Don't mix up your own feels in here. " In fact all functioning countries have socialism in one form or another because leaving everything up to capitalism would lead to an oppressive distopian society." No they don't. You think so because you misunderstand what socialism is. Also you tend to ignore the fact that more socialist the country is, the more dystopian the society ends up being. We already have empirical evidences for this. Capitalism leads to oppressive dystopian society? No it doesn't. It leads to most freedom to people. Because capitalism promotes Independence while socialism promotes slavery to the government. Socialism is simply new fancy word for feudalism. "There would be no democracy. " Ironically, every socialist country ends up being dictatorship... ;) "maybe you could point to one country where it does." There isn't a single country on this planet where government doesn't try to control means of productions through some regulations. Hence pure capitalism doesn't exists. Most countries (aka the functioning ones you mentioned) have followed the Keynisian model. Which is why they are so much in debt currently. " If you're so sure free market healthcare is the best then point to one country which does it as efficiently as the top ten in the world " Most countries that provide free healthcare are actually shit holes. You are probably talking about nordic countries in here. Since I live in nordic country, I can confirm that. 1. It's not free, you still have to pay your share. 2. The high taxes actually hurt the poor the most since everything costs more. 3. Line in services takes almost forever (you are most likely dead by the time you get your first doctor's appointment). 4. Shortage on doctors 5. Poor quality of healthcare for those who are poor. I have first hand experience with this over glorified free healthcare, and I gladly pay extra just to get to private doctor. I got sick and tired of those voodoo priests who think that you can cure virus with antibiotics and chicken soup. So I don't know who made your metrics and with what standards, but they sure don't reflect reality. Ever considered that those metrics of yours might have taken into account quality of private sector in healthcare? "I'm fully aware of the shortcomings of public education" Then what makes you think it will be any better if rest of the industries will be public as well? Also you're not aware that public education is commonly used to spread political propaganda. Nazies did provide free healthcare and education. Education was mostly nazi propaganda and some real stuff beside it. Same with soviets and all the other socialist countries. When you control education, then you control the minds of the people. Why would any politician to not to want to have that sort of power and abuse it according to their own whims? "but if you think that's bad just wait till the quality of, or even access to education, is dependent solely on your family's ability to afford it" Education used to be cheap in USA. You could've easily done 3 months summer job and pay your tuition cost. That is until government decided to subsidize student loans. Which in return colleges started to increase their tuition fee, because they knew that government will now be subsidizing any amount of loan they put. So it started to steadily increase. They increase tuition fee, government gives more loan. Also high level education isn't everything in the world. you do realize that original purpose of universities wasn't to educate you to find better job. But simply sell knowledge to those who were interested in it. Now... The more people have a college degree, the less valuable it's in the job markets. So you will be left with huge debt and pointless degree. Now you be like "but if it's free then no debt". Okay, then who do you think will pay all that cost? Government? Government never pays anything, it simply steals money from the people to pay it. So now all the useless degrees you get and waste your life with. Will be paid from back of the other people. Which in turn will hurt you more. You see... making something "free" only hides the cost, but the cost still exists. Expect now it's even greater since everything ran by government is inefficient. "You could say goodbye to any semblance of upward mobility. " Upward mobility route for the poor has always been following. 1. Become private business owner. 2. Army As a business owner you're more likely to get high. Not only that, but it rewards skills far more than useless women's study degree. Historically , the moment the markets are free and less regulations there are. The poor people will start to create more industries. "Maybe you think private police, prisons, and military are good things too. Who wouldn't want to be subjected to laws created and enforced by unelected bureaucracies?" Private police? No, they are bad idea. Government holds monopoly of force and it should remain like that. However police, prison and military aren't means of productions nor distributors of the goods. Are you one of those people who thinks that everything that government does is socialism? You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Oh right... you're bernie fan... You're fan of a guy who doesn't even know what socialism is. "Your ideas are idealistic not practical and almost every genocidal movement in history was a result of an ideology." You do realize that biggest genocides on the planet were made by socialist and communist regimes? Fun fact, under socialism/communism, you would probably be the first one to be shot or send to gulag.

  46. +I like being moist You clearly don't understand how American system works. America is collection of countries. Aka states. Each state has their own rules. IF one state has things that badly, then move to another state or try to influence state politicians to do something about it.

  47. +auwli Of course. That is why leftists think that simple solutions like raising the wage would solve the problem. But since it's far more complicated issue, they don't realize that it will actually hurt those who it was suppose to help.

  48. Mr Trugglez "Because there are numerous studies conducted after Minimum wage that shown that the Economy actually grow." Name even one. Also no it doesn't incease growth. With your reasoning minimum wage should be 100000000000 per hour and voila growth everywhere. "The Example of SeaTac, the first place in America with a Minimum wage of $15/hour. At first, Restaurant and hotel owners were screaming that it was a job killer. What actually happened was the Hotels didn't close, the Restaurant didn't close, in fact they're employing more people." Correlation doesn't imply causation. For example increasing the minimum wage inside of your own company can give publicity which increases the amount of people coming to work in there. Plus restoraunts don't compete on international level. They work on local level. Which is why it won't have same effect as on international companies. "The reason why businesses grow is because more money is pumping into the workers, who in turn have more money to spend, which means that the prices can go up and you'll get more capitol from it." Which is negated by increase of prices. Beside the money is circulating constantly so that is just a myth from your part. Again with your reasonin putting minimum wage to 100000000 would make huge growth. "Because there is more money and more capitol flowing." money flows constantly. You're an idiot if you think that rich people sit on top of money.

  49. +Janis L Because useful idiots exists. Soviets did lot of job to inflintrated other countries to spout out socialists propaganda to young and foolish students. You can see this in modern day america. It's only college students who praise socialism. That is because their marxists teachers who actually had history of being part of socialist/communist movements at their youth, were brainwashing them. KGB agents have decades ago confirmed that this was their plan. To ruin country from inwards by corrupting the future decision makers. Point was to push all of those countries in to state of chaos so that soviets can make easy picking of them afterwards.

  50. +Joel Lundqvist Private roads would actually work. However private police force and private army doesn't and there is a good and logical reason for it, if you actually bother to think it for a while. "no public schools so education cannot be consistant." Which is a good thing. Since having consistent propaganda and poor quality of education is far worse than having couple bad quality schools and many good quality schools.
