I can't say that I am surprised that children fare poorly in surveys about thier wellbeing in the United States today.
I have known for a long while that the cut-throat world of today, where parents are basically REQUIRED to abandon their children to day-care centers, babysitters and schools for longer and longer periods was not good for them. It also doesn't help that the rich in this country are taking advantage of the poor by not paying them competitive wages and keeping them from getting competitive wages. $240 a week for 40 hours of back-breaking work? It's a disgrace.
We need to start having a higher minimum wage, start making more social programs and REFUSING to allow them to be cut into (get the message conservatives, most people on welfare are on it for good reason and because they have to be because of your refusal to have a REASONABLE minimum wage that they can live on!), make ways for children to spend more time with their families (by making a 40 hour work week MANDATORY by law) and getting rid of most of the religious idiocy around the country, like most of the countries in the top 5 have.
Yes, I sound like a socialist here, but I am an individualist at heart who realizes that socialism has it's good and bad points. It is good when it is helping people rise to their potential. It is bad when it enforces other people's moral codes on people who do not want to follow those moral codes, and are not PHYSICALLY, PERMANENTLY harming others by not following them. -
Maggie Farley, "U.S., Britain fare poorly in children survey: UNICEF ranks the well-being of youngsters in 21 developed countries," 15 February, Los Angeles Times of latimes.com .
"UNITED NATIONS — The United States and Britain ranked as the worst places to be a child, according to a UNICEF study of more than 20 developed nations released Wednesday. The Netherlands was the best, it says, followed by Sweden and Denmark."
It just goes to show the United Nations has a lot of enemy agents and foreign agents in its ranks, because it has been the United States and Great Britain that kept the free world, and this means we are capable and developed. Socialist world wide seek any control for domination, including by playing on misery and hard work that is common to the world (take your "weee" crying somewhere else), and the United States is not at their beck and call as the land of the free and the home of the brave. The United States has done nothing but develop since its beginning 230 years ago, and has done more than much of the rest of the world and it is because we are a quality people with skills in manufacturing, commerce, banking, education, rights, liberties, law, and, among other things, opportunity. The United Nations should ask how much foreign government money goes into controlling United States banking and businesses, because tax money is powerful and this has been known to ruin free markets from those socialist and other degenerate nations who depend upon United States stability? The United Nations is a platform for arbitration, but it is not a government, for even communists sit in the United Nations.
Speaking of international when is the United States going to pull its military bases out of Europe? The United States is not looking to the rest of the world for guidance. -
