I doubt you have ever been to a Nordic country otherwise you would know they are some of the most free market capitalist nations on earth with strong social safety nets which has nothing in common with socialism or communism.

I'm happy we have other people who can do to this for us too. But I don't think a stranger will take better care of a another stranger than a loving caring family member. E.g. With all my imperfections I'm still sure I'

The percentage in the population went up, because there are fewer young people (their percentage went proportionately down with a huge drop in the under 18 category). I'm not claiming the modern medicine doesn't help, but it'

I agree with you. Of course nobody should force you. But in general it is positive thing to do, to take care of the elderly if you can. This is something to strive for as a society, isn't it? But the phrase "They didn't ask m

Distances really don't have anything to do with it. If a town is too small to have public transport, it's simply too small. It's the same for the smallest European countries as it is for the US.

Have you ever read a book, watched a movie, a TV show, read an opinion article? Why should you compel, indoctrinate or ostracize somebody when all is needed are positive messages about positive things in our society. That is what culture is

It's a bit hard or actually impossible to have a society that has nothing to strive for.

You have to be more specific. Do you mean by law or by twitter mobs,...? It a weird argument anyway. Almost anything good can be used for a bad purpose. We strive to write code that is performant, extendable and bug free, but sometimes we c

People have been living over 70 for a long time now. Statistics was skewed because of higher child mortality in deaths at birth.

My conclusion comes from statistics and logic. In smaller cities the population is a mix a between daily rural migrants, factory workers and office/service workers. In big cities the population is mostly office/service workers. &g

Bigger cities are the same. Politically they are very homogeneous. If you want want you kids to be near variety of perspectives, you should move to a smaller city or near one.

If you haven't noticed, Hungary only has one really big city(Budapest, around 1.5m people), the second biggest has around 200k people and from there on there are mostly towns under 100k population size. What they call a town starts at

Please stay civil. You are talking past me. Think for a moment what are you claiming. It's obvious people loved their kids through out the history and not only started doing that in the 20th century. Why would they force them to work?

Only because we could afford it and not because people suddenly became enlightened regarding child work. If we were to loose access to electricity and oil, how long do you think it would take for children being forced to work again? When Fa

It depends on how you get hit and how do you land. Cars builders have pedestrian safety in mind as they get NCAP ratings for it. If you are lucky, maybe not that much damage. On the other hand full frontal collision with a bus is probably n

Then I hope you'll never get hit or worse, you hitting somebody else while intoxicated on a bicycle, even if you think is of no consequence.
