>>728103818
It's bait and I'm taking it, the European train is a magnetic monorail, these can't haul as great a load as a diesel locomotive so it's mostly used as transport for population. Americans don't really need train transport as we have cars that we buy and use. This allows a sense of freedom.

>>728104800

America may not do trains, but we sure as Hell can do military. That's why we had to win two World Wars, to save the candy-ass Europeans from themselves. The way things are going, we may have to win another World War, since the shit-simple fuck-tard Europeans are Hell bent on the Islamifacation of their homelands. So, in closing, Europeans can shove their faggot-ass rail systems up their asses, along with their faggot-ass cheese & wine.

People here in America place a lot more importance on owning (and using) a vehicle than other countries.They are symbols of financial ability and individualism. Not to mention the public transport sytems here are no where comparable (and never will be) to the likes of London. Necessitating the use of vehicles anyways.

Trains will never happen because no one here wants to pay for it and a bunch of bureaucratic bullshit.

We mostly use trains here to handle freight nowadays, because Amtrak sucks. Commuter trains and subways are still widely used though, but only for relatively short distances. For people and lightweight merchandise traveling long distance, planes are always a lot quicker.

We don't even have to talk about hypothetical systems. There's already plenty of democrat socialist concepts already applied.

Our roads are made and maintained, electricity is heavily subsidized, water is drinkable, etc etc. People here can be so far removed from reality even when they "know" it for themselves. I guess that's the power of doublethink when you're that scared of "socialism".

I get greed, duh, who doesn't want the best for their own. My question is, if no one was worrying about where the next meal was coming from, where the roof was for their heads when the rain starts coming down, or where they could go and study and become another contributor to the overall wealth of the world - why would you not allow those people the right to do that?

Obviously, there will be folks to abuse the system. Though there are people who don't have the chance to get out of their situation, who, given the chance, would jump high and hard to give back.

You can always give anon, but you can't always get. Plus, what are you going to do with all that wealth when you're dead? It's just material.

This. Not even checking that guy's quads because he's too retarded. Lots of other countries have trains that can get you all the way across the country in a couple hours and are much more comfortable and cheaper than flying.

>>728106763
Does your train go from your front door directly to where you want to go at the time of your choosing and stop wherever you please for as long as you want ? Yeah, I didn't think so.

That's at their peak, trains don't have to stop on lights or crossings. Not to mention it's more economically viable.

>>728106702
That doesn't mean anything. For starters you interstate roads are maintained by the state, so you didn't pay for most of those roads anyways.

My original point still stands. Why are you seemingly ok with paying for roads that you won't use (you yourself proved as much) yet you're not ok paying for, say, universal healthcare (which you would presumably use)?

Roads help, but trains have been around well before them. 1950's interstates were primarily designed for national defense, as well as commercial support, with the superseding commercial support coming from train transport.

To be fair, Japan has had the luxury of being able to enter the then modern world relatively late. So had the advantage of having at their disposal a lot of tech that the U.S. didn't. It makes it a lot easier to do planning when you can reasonably plan ahead.

>>728107505
When did I say it was the 1800's? Also, how do you think all the raw material that makes the road got to where the road is? By Lewis and Clarke, whipping Sacagawea across the land with bags of concrete over her shoulders, all while mapping out the interstate system as they went?

America is just too big for feasible railroad construction for passengers, that and the costs of buying up all the property necessary to establish a 200 km/h railway corridor are insane. To compound this, Europe is full of good public transportation (buses and trams) whereas in the US you'd get off the train into a rental car making you weigh the options of just driving yourself or flying more seriously.

But that isn't whats being said here.

One of the criticisms for the magrail vs. diesel was that it was using a "heap of government money whereas the diesel trains came from the free market".
