      Brachy is from a Latin American country. Those are always in economic troubles, it's their trademark. So from his perspective your whining about libertarianism is like whining about your hot young wife who is also a great cook, but can't make dish XY all that well. It's not that relevant all things considered.

      I can kind of understand that, but I can't have sympathies for someone who's giving thumbs down to individualism

          My whining? Screw you VetLegion, let your body be left in front of horny bulls when you pass away, just so that you can't have a decent funeral and people are going to whisper 'so the bulls did him? Omg..'..



          oh wait! You consider individual rights a good issue! Let me take that back. The bulls just.. stroll by, they leave your butt alone.

            I'm thinking the Netherlands compromise is as close to even ground as you can get. You have a modest welfare state which provides tax subsidized healthcare to all, a modest social safety net, and an excellent education but the cost of this is kept tightly controlled. The result is economic growth remains strong, unemployment is low, but the people still have a safety net.

He was a Greek Bishop in the 400th century, who gave anonymous gifts of gold to orphan girls, in order to prevent them from taking up prostitution. He arrived and threw the gift of gold coins into their socks that was drying on the stove. (This was long before the door lock was invented). Thus the tradition of gifts in socks on the stove.

                        Pilgrims still visit both locations of his grave, in Greece and Italy. I have no clue how Finland could claim to have anything to do with the guy? Could you please tell me where the legend went wrong?

                          Because there is no tradition putting up socks and stuff. If some old perv gave gold to orphan girls, that's nice, that's what pimps do, except they keep the gold.

                          Santa > pimp.
