No one is different from anyone. We are all one species. << No we are behind the other western democracies because we are isolated and overly influenced by Christianity. The other western democracies have the benefit of cultural diffusion. Most people speak more than one language and religion plays a much smaller role in their politics. You may be fight about the other Western Democracies and their differences from us, but this is also the reason that socialism won't work for us because we are different than them.

To my point:

Arkansas Republican Believes Women Are To Blame For Divorce And That They Only Want To Be Wives And Mothers

Arkansas Congressman Tom Cotton is the Republican Senate candidate for the 2014 Election. Unfortunately for him, that means all of his beliefs, both past and present, are fair game. That includes a column he wrote back in 1997 when he was in college. His topic? Women. And, of course, it’s basically a misogynistic rant.

In a piece titled “ Promises And Covenants” written for the Harvard Crimson, Cotton wrote that men are “simple creatures” who are “naturally restless and rowdy, maybe even a little incorrigible.” And the women? Well, Cotton believes women are “the problem.”

He sampled a “small and unrepresentative” number of women and asked them what their “greatest fear” is and what their “deepest hopes” were in life, and drew the conclusion that what women want is to be good wives and good mothers.

“I have been asking women two questions,” Cotton wrote. “My first question was “What is your greatest fear in life?” Uniformity characterized the responses… “Watching my husband walk out on me.” “Losing my lover.” “Getting a divorce.”
