Lions in zoos live longer, healthier lives than the ones on the African plains. They get laid more often too. And your point is?

...I didn't notice any S11 attacks on Gothenburg.

Nobody attacks Sweden because they are pretty much insignificant on the world stage. Maybe that's a good place to be, I don't know.

If a man is measured by what he consumes, rather than what he contributes, is he not then a parasite?

In a capitalist society, consumers and producers (contributors) are supposed to be the same people, trading with each other. "Parasite" has an exact meaning: something that feeds off something else without its consent and provides nothing in return.

As Larry points out, in a welfare state, especially one where a welfare recipient gets exactly the same vote as a taxpayer, sooner or later the parasites will bury the producers. That's just simple math and human nature.
