    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

          • Not even close. None of your business.

              Gee... USA GDP = 73,170,986
              China GDP = 10,982,829
              I wonder which country has the larger population... Hmmmm...

              Dear boy... ratios you say? Nice try. Now stop your lame attempt to move the thread beyond your errors by acting like a little school child.

                Uh, you might want to recheck those figures, Ming.

                    Table 3, Page 7:

                    Texas, seasonally adjusted GDP for 2015:

                    1,591,148
                    1,590,234
                    1,583,848
                    1,580,641

                    California, seasonally adjusted GDP for 2015

                    2,403,342
                    2,459,749
                    2,474,341
                    2,496,710

                    California population in 2015: 38.8 million
                    Texas population in 2015: 26.9 million

                    2,403/38.8 = 61.93
                    1,591/26.9 = 59.10

                    California has a slight lead of about 4.73 percent over Texas.

                    Now, people, you have a choice, you can use BK's calculations...
                    OR, you could use the real GDP per capita figures the BEA gives directly.

                    The latter has California with a higher GDP per capita.
                    One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

                      Yes, many actually do persecute gay people and many support the republican party. So that is enough for me. But whether they support gay people or not is one issue. Libertarianism is repulsive to me, especially the illogical economic viewpoints.

                        Whatever... China has over 4 times the population of the US, and no matter what kind of numbers you make up, you aren't going to find that China's GDP is four times that of the US. So yeah... **** your ratios.

                        • Hey you guise, it's AAHZ.

                          I am just placing a poast here because I noticed there are some ratios and figures to be checked before this conversation continues. I will also look out for any unanswered questions that may occur.

                          Thank you and have a nice thrade.

                            Anyway, many say it's better for society to be secular, but I have to say that I don't see the US progressing.

                            I'll leave it there for now because I want to see what others have to say. That is, except the usual people who **** on my thread. I respectfully request that the thread****ing not begin until At least page 3.
                            I've only read this post.

                            To say the US is secular is laughable from other countries' points of view. Half your population disbelieves evolution, FFS.

                            Having said that, I like liberal, progressive nations. These, by and large, are Western, not least because of the wealth we generated from colonialism. Third world countries are generally less Christian, more other faiths. They also tend to suffer extreme poverty and lack of education. These are a recipe for some bad ****.

                            So yes, I'd rather live in a Christian country, but not because it's Christian, but because it's more likely to be wealthy, well educated and progressive.
