MEANS MEDICAL CARE IS EFFECTIVELY FREE, SHOULD ANYONE WITH AN ID, INCLUDING MIGRANT WORKERS, WISH.

Medical care can be free in the US too. That is if you turn up at an emergency room, you'll eventually be treated and although you'll be billed, lots and lots never pay a dime.

GERMAN, FRENCH, ... JAPANESE, KOREAN, ... AS PART OF EASILY ACCESSIBLE PRIVATE SETUPS

We have language programs in schools too. And private education is widely available for any who want it.

NO YOU DO NOT QUITE. HERE LOSER PAYS ALL COSTS, AND NO CLASS ACTION BS, AND NO CONTIGENCY FEE ARRANGEMENT.

True enough.

WE HAVE JAPANESE COOKING JAPANESE FOOD AND FRENCH COOKING FRENCH FOOD, AND IMPORTED INGREDIENTS, DRY AND FRESH, FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD,

Ditto here. TARIFF FREE We're not completely free from tariffs but pretty close - thats the purpose of the free trade agreements we've been negotiating for the past couple decades.

USD 8-9+ PER GAL, KEEPING PEOPLE HONEST ABOUT ENERGY VALUE.


IOW, gasoline is highly taxed there Gasoline is taxed lighter than that here.

NO, YOU DO NOT. YOU HAVE TO FILE A LOT OF FORMS, ANY OF WHICH CAN GET YOU IN TROUBLE, EVEN THOUGH YOUR MONEY OUGHT TO BE YOUR BUSINESS ALONE.

Filing forms. I think they can get you in trouble if you're make mistakes or are dishonest. I work for a multinational doing business and investing almost everywhere and our US employees travel everywhere and our overseas employees travel here - all very frequently. Sure we have a treasury group but no barriers from capital controls hampers things.

MEANING KIDS TAKE CARE OF PARENTS, AS FUNCTION OF UPBRINGING AND EDUCATION AND SOCIAL/TAX POLICY.

Very good. Don't enact a social security retirement system. People will come to rely on it instead of family. As happened here and everywhere else.

NO YOU DO NOT. YOU HAVE FOLKS WHO HABITUALLY TRY TO IMPOSE. WE HAVE INNATE ABILITY TO TOLERATE. BIG DIFFERENCE.

The only attempted imposition here is by persuasion - voluntary conversion. No government religious coercion is done including no persecution of unauthorized religious movements as in China.

Imposition can be negative - as in when illegal churches or Falun Gongers are locked up or killed. That is defintely imposition and not toleration.

BIG DIFFERENCE. HERE THE ISSUE IS NOT EVEN MUCH OF A TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION, BECAUSE IT IS INNATELY UNDERSTOOD TO BE NO ONE ELSE'S BUSINESS.

Here it is a topic for discussion. We have popular tv programs with openly gay characters. We have a program where a group of gay guys counsel straight guys on how to dress better, style themselves better. Homosexual behavior is legal everywhere in the US.

YOUR PARTS MAKE POLITICAL ISSUES OUT OF IT, AND CRAFT LAWS AROUND IT. NO GAY MARRIAGES HERE IN A LEGAL RECOGNITION SENSE, BUT ALL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS CAN BE CRAFTED BY WRITTEN AGREEMENTS THAT CAN WITHSTAND LEGAL CHALLENGES.

Ah, but you see the political issue here now is gay marriage. And if you don't have it and favor it, you are a hatefilled bigot by the standards of our liberals and gay militants. Yes, you. Those written agreements than can be crafted can be crafted here too, but that is not enough, you bigot.

NOT TRUE. YOUR PARTS HAVE FOLKS WHO EVEN BOTHER TO PROTEST. OUR PARTS IT IS UNDERSTOOD TO BE NO ONE'S BUSINESS EXCEPT PUBLISHER AND READER.

Ah, no one in China wants to protest anything. Sure thats believable.
