>>We are now probably the richest country in the world, thanks to our national resources which we have used to invest in the future instead of building a balloon economy which had to blast sooner or later. Did you know that Norway now owns more than two percent of all the stocks in the world? That's a lot of stocks for a country with less than one thousandth of the worlds population.

Define socialism.... This is the problem of the conversation (as far it is one)... YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT SOCIALISM IS, or else you would not make the terrible mistake to call Norway a socialistic country. You have absolutely no understanding of how its governed.

The problem described here is because your right wing politicians have redefined words to use and abuse and mislead the public.

Example.

1. The sovjet union has been ruled by communism and socialism.
2. Western europe has been rules by democracy very simular to the US democracy.
3. the right wing redefined the word socialism and communism to mean 'Anything to the left of them'
4. Use this word socialism (in elections) to scare off your citizens and pointing to the warschau pact and sovject union for examples.

And you know what.... It worked perfectly. The US citizens (you being an example) really were fooled by it.

Another example.

1. Your right wing, has successfully redefined the word 'liberal' to mean something entirely different than its original meaning. This was particulary visible in the 2000 and 2004 elections, were liberal was really presented as a dirty word.
