we have taken British out-put so decissions about homo marriages, euthanasia, social benefits, will be made in Poland ... find majority for your ideas in Poland ...
You have much of trust in competences of PiS negotiators. British were worried about other issues and I think that they got what they wanted. While in Poland I already heard voices from the left that this opt-out wont work like PiS claim. Of course in the bureaucratic EU, this is nearly impossible to find out how this opt-out will really work. One would need to analyze many documents but which ones? Bad laws cause that final solution often depends from decision of constitutional court. Judges nominated by certain political parties have certain bias in some direction as well. I don't trust PiS, they are simply incompetent.

so if socialsim didn't exist they could not bring it in, or could they. Error in logical thinking Less.
Yes, error but yours.. :) It doesn't matter whether socialism as we now understand existed at that time. What is important, that generation of Americans did not have socialist mentality and current generation of Europeans have it.
However this is funny how you associate socialism so strictly with the Soviet Union. :)

US has evolved over the years and has changed a lot, therefore your referance to their constitution has little use , if any.
It does matter. Till they respected their constitution, they were developing well. These days they have recession because they follow Europe too much. While Europe itself is deeply stuck in bureaucracy and in constant crisis. They adopted few years ago so called "Lisbon strategy" to catch up with the US, today they are even more behind and the US made so many mistakes...

there is a great history of european socialism and Marx -living is the exhile and being suported by Engles most of his life just addressed the social need for it. You seem to forget that socialism was created in response to capitalism , if one wanted to put it in a siplified way.
French revolution was another attempt of social conciousness I would say. So there is a long history of european socialism which should not be taken for granted and could be a good explanation what Europe is about today, together with EU. How could you even say that people don't think on their own - it is a european way of thinking. I think that US is more based on media influance than Europe.
Thank you for such history, Marx, Engels, Robespierre and Vendee genocide. Great things have great outcomes, socialism totally failed. Those from French revolution deserved for its own Nurnberg.

how so. I am lost here.
Simply, cost of work rise, employers can afford to employ less people. Thus they employ them illegally and workers lose all social privileges. If they disagree, they are unemployed.

In Norway the healthcare is free, but it suffers from

People die while waiting for operations here ,because the goverment wont spend the money needed.
This is well without bottom. Rich countries might waste money for this destination, some day they will stop to be rich. When they were earning their wealth, they were not so socialistic.

Why do you think that your government spend your money better than you?
where did I say that?
I understand that you want government to take your money (high taxes) and fund you "free" health care. (which is never in good shape) You could pay directly to doctors, without bureaucratic middleman. Avoiding corruption as well, choosing the best offer not preferred by the government from some unknown reasons.

again, I don't see it as a threat to european community to the extend you do.
Society that don't respect even human life cannot succeed. Promotion of sexual deviations as an alternative style of live wont help them as well. When family is targeted, economy will collapse for sure.
