"Free" education means... you can study, get out of your studies and start your life without a huge debt as startup package. An idea that actually should somehow apply to americvan ways... help those who help themselves and all that. "Free" education - which means affordable for everyone - leads to more critical people, which is a good thing for a democracy. Just an opinion. I can't convince anyone of course that that's the better way, I just strongly feel so. But it's not about me convincing anyone or about you doing the same things we do. I wouldn't want to be that arrogant, and I never meant it that way. I merely talked about the absence of these voices in your debates. The absence of a "left". You don't have to follow left-wing ideas to appreciate that the ideas are there to be discussed.
I don't really know if I can make myself clear...


...but so be it. I find i slightly amusing that you think our learning languages faster is our most valuable asset :)

See how valuable it is?  You write English better than i read it.   I didn't say that was your most valuable asset.  I said it was a small thing, and it's not faster it's at all.

I don't know where you got the idea there is no voice for things like free college in the US.  There are plenty of people both elected and ordinary citizens who think exactly that.  You'd be hard pressed to find anything from the left side of the spectrum that doesn't have a voice.  Hell go to any American left wing sites and you can will find circle jerks over anything European.  A chunk of the American left thinks we are a bunch of rubes that are millenia behind Europe.
