    i am jewish and only believe in heaven.

    delayed gratification originates from the abrahamic religions, and blacks enslaved the jews in egypt because they believed in the serpent god

    that was an example of poor decision making.

    The Overton window of what's acceptable and what is not.

    A Conservative up here would be a blue dog dem down there (for the most part). Supportive of Universal Health Care (with leanings of allowing some level of privatization) whereas down there, that is considered socialist and bad.

    Gun rights, Up here they are supportive of the PAL program which would be anthema in the US

    Just a couple policy examples. We have a lot more "progressive conservatives", and aren't as polarized as the US.

    Well then they are not conservative the are blue dog liberals, progressive moderates at best. You don't have a true conservative body politic of any significance.

    All a matter of perspective. The US views on political ideology isn't the be-all end-all that the rest of the world adheres too. We have our own views just as other countries do as well.

    This is all eerily reminding me of the movie "Idiocracy" where the world is moving backwards.

    You know when the "woke" culture in this country attacks everything that makes it great that they certainly aren't in it to make it better, but to entirely destroy it so that their tyranny is the only answer. This is what it looks like when you allow the education system to indoctrinate our children.

    Yes, very much so.

    One of my favorite interviews is Ben Shapiro and Stephen Harper. Harper has great points about when ideology meets reality and reality wins.

    US policy rules the rest of the world, why not its views on political ideology too

    It doesn't. So it they don't.

    Such a narcissistic view of your country. I guess that's why a guy like Trump could climb to the top spot.

    Are you white? I wonder how your adopted black kids feel about your prejudice toward the black community?
    You keep making it about race culture while ignoring the more elemental economic culture.
    Do you think your adopted black kids would have flourished in a home of poor white trash?
    Do you think your adopted black kids would have failed in a black family’s home that was rich enough to afford a pool in their back yard and all the other economic perks you’ve provided?
    You do realize that kids absorb this kind of stuff like milk from a teat at home, eh?
