how much better is Japan's education? Do they waste billions of dollars on things that do not work like the USA?

  • Math: Japan ranks in the top 10 globally, while the U.S. lags behind in the mid-30s.
  • Science: Japan also performs significantly better, ranking well above the U.S. average.
  • Reading: While the U.S. performs closer to Japan in reading, it still falls short.
  • Japan: Approximately $10,000–$11,000 per student per year
  • United States: Approximately $15,000–$18,000 per student per year, depending on the state

    That's even more shameful as that effectively means we spend 3x as much on crap outcomes if we compare cost per student per day.

    Maybe we'd get better results if we had two political parties that believed in working to make government better instead of one while the other works to sabotage it so they could point back and go "dUh see, I told you government doesn't work".

    Depends upon how many are taking part.

    Does that include paper and piss too.

    If it's the whole department plus extras, then I suppose a ton perhaps wouldn't take so long.

    Will they store it in a dumpy bag/s?

    And what are they going to do with it?

    Funny, over the last 100 years America went from an average nation to the world's premier superpower. So yeah, some more of that.

    You're not even consistent with your MAGA cohorts. Make America great again wasn't talking about pre civil war America, so you guys say.

    And if you're looking for a rough starting point to what I was referring to (which we both know you're not because honest rational productive conversation is clearly not something you arrive for), I would start the story in 1980 with Ronald Reagan's "government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem" speech. When you begin as a governing party with the notion that the very thing you are trying to control is itself the problem... The absurdity of Donald Trump makes a lot of sense. From absurdity you can only get more absurdity.

    A reference to the idea championed by Tucker Carlson that videos showing no violence at the Capitol somehow cancels out the videos that show violence.

    It's almost like the prosecution showing video of the defendant committing the murder being charged and the defense responds by showing a video of the defendant later on not committing murder. It truly is one of the stupidest arguments I've ever heard and yet it still to this day gets repeated by MAGA. No wonder you guys think Trump is a great choice for president.

    Who has the largest army in the world?
    Mapped: The World's Largest Armies in 2024
    China
    China has the largest standing army, with over 2 million active personnel. With increasing defense spending over the last decades, the country also ranks third in the number of tanks and second in the number of aircraft carriers in service.

    I don't know what happened to "mostly peaceful riots" maybe that only applies to protests you agree with, but the reason this is so important is because the media portrayed it as some sort of unarmed insurrection where every single person there was there to attack cops and for the entirety of the time. Also certain footage was hidden such as the police allowing protestors into the building.

    Plus even you tried to claim the only people in prison were those who attacked cops when the media who is clearly biased against patriots is reporting only 33% of the people in prison were there for attacking police.

    Do you know what I would have did if I was a politician there while the place was being stormed by literally working class people. This isn't the lumpenproletariat, so they aren't really just going to randomly get violent. I would have just addressed the crowds and had a back and forth. The same thing you see Vivek Ramaswamy and Obama do when they were on the campaign trail. Just talk to people

    What happened is that you are desperately trying to defend the indefensible by invoking a false equivalence.

    The BLM riots were a civil uprising sparked by a YouTube video that took place all over the country throughout the entire summer. January 6th was an isolated occurrence that took place in one place at one time and was inspired by the sitting president of the United States in an attempt to illegally hold onto power after losing an election.

    Attacking "the left" for those riots is ridiculous because while the protests certainly were based on left wing principals there is no political ideology to looting stores. That's opportunism, and it was carried out by people of all political strifes. One of the most notable examples of that summer was when they burned down the Wendy's after another black man was killed by police in their parking lot the night before. Yet the person who did that was a white woman who wasn't aligned with BLM and the whole thing was caught on video as the protesters were screaming "she's not with us". Did any of that matter to MAGA media? Of course not, they blamed it on BLM and "the left" anyway.

    Not one person out there that summer burning down buildings was there because Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or any other prominent left wing figures told them to be. January 6th meanwhile, was entirely incited by Trump. If there was a prominent figure behind the BLM riots specifically and that person was then chosen to be the Democratic nominee you would have a point of comparison. But even you know anyone on the left saying they condone those riots and pledging to pardon anyone who looted and burn down buildings would have had no chance in the Democratic primary. That's the difference between the left and the right.

    but the reason this is so important is because the media portrayed it as some sort of unarmed insurrection where every single person there was there to attack cops and for the entirety of the time. 
    It has nothing to do with what "every single person" was there for. It's about whose lead they were following and what that person's (as in Trump's) intention was. He was the one trying to steal the election, that's what technically makes this an insurrection.

    I will say however that I never use that term when describing January 6th because it's a distraction. People like you love to focus on things like that because then you don't have to admit what you're really defending. The mob attacked the US Capitol and the sitting president sat there for 3 hours watching it on TV. That's not defensible, so of course you will ignore it.

    Also certain footage was hidden such as the police allowing protestors into the building.
    It wasn't hidden, we all saw it on real time. That's why Joe Scarborough dropped the F bomb on MSNBC live the next morning. No one needs to hide that footage because it doesn't change what the rioters did in Trump's name and the fact that he did nothing meaningful to stop it.

    Plus even you tried to claim the only people in prison were those who attacked cops
    I never made that claim. You are again, as usual, just making shit up in your own mind because you cannot address the actual things I'm actually saying.

    Do you know what I would have did if I was a politician there while the place was being stormed by literally working class people.
    You probably would have ran for your life like every republican did that day

    This isn't the lumpenproletariat, so they aren't really just going to randomly get violent.  I would have just addressed the crowds and had a back and forth. The same thing you see Vivek Ramaswamy and Obama do when they were on the campaign trail. Just talk to people
    lol.

    The 140 Capitol police officers who sustained serious injuries that day I'm sure would have loved to see you try.

    I almost want to think you are dangerously close to figuring out that leftists use black people as cannon fodder l, but I have a feeling you are so deep in denial that overcoming the thought processes you have as a result of white people telling you what ideology to have is impossible.
