Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness (in America)

Tell em to speak for themselves, I feel fine and life gets better every day.

"I want to be miserable and free"

Freedom isn't misery.

Freedom isn't misery.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. No, it isn't.

"I want to be miserable and free"

It sure beats shackling yourself to the government. Think about it -- dependent on the government. Dependent on the State. Think about that. How is that a way to live? That's not how or why we were created. You can keep your nanny-state cradle to grave government dependency. I want nothing to do with it. You should likewise.

Do you really think that the following stats even begin to touch those in America? Toronto is just slightly larger than Chicago.

There is no society that is free of racism or bigotry. Canada does a generally better job of inclusiveness, but it's not perfect, particularly where its native population is concerned. You should also consider that the Canadian incarceration rate is 114 per 100,000 vs 693 per 100,000 in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...rceration_rate

Not sure why you are bringing up crime stats but if the rate of crime is much lower that would make Canadian law enforcement's discrimination against blacks even more egregious. For shame!

Anyway, it appears that black people in Canada face quite a few social and economic obstacles. Maybe you should tend to your own house, eh? Plank...your own eye etc.

"I want to be miserable and free"

Here it is, dear reader. The liberal views an absence of all-encompassing government as far less appealing than freedom, which this poster considers 'misery'.

If that isn't a perfectly conditioned little Dembot, I'm not sure what is.

I was going to make this exact point. No need now. Crushing refutation.

"Americans are becoming less happy." - Opening Post by Dr.Who

Indeed, we have become a good deal more divisive since Obama took over in 2009.
Divisiveness has increased from 46% in 2009 to 86% today, "thanks" to the bozo's promise to "fundamentally transform America."

Combine his divisive rhetoric, with the Leftist rhetoric spewing from schools and colleges nationwide, and the brainwashing of the Left, by the Left, is furthering the destruction of this once great nation.

"The last metric is described as "the severe deterioration of America’s educational system", rising tuition rates and declining student aid." - Opening Post

If you think America is going downhill, and we are sadder today than in 2007, thank a Leftist.

"In 1950, we spent (in 1989 dollars) $1,333 per student. In 1989 we spent $4931. As John Silber, the President of Boston University, has written, 'It is troubling that this nearly fourfold increase in real spending has brought no improvement. It is scandalous that it has not prevented substantial decline.' " - William J. Bennett, former Secretary of Education, in The De-Valuing of America

"The education of all children, from the moment they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions, at state expense." - Karl Marx, the Communist Manifesto

I'm sure this 'study' had to avoid making 2009 the first year of this observation.
