A Non-Political Question About the Soul of this Country

[jaxind]

While watching the evening news last night, there was a story about the increase of parents fighting each other at their kids' sporting events. With that, and road rage, and bullying in schools, and extreme college hazing, etc., does this kind of stuff go on in any other developed country in the world?? I'm not sure, but I don't think so. I didn't even include mass shootings in that list, because I know for sure that, that rarely happens in other developed countries.

1. It's all relative.

Some stuff goes on in other countries, some does not.

Road rage is apparently a problem in Russia, based on all of the videos I've seen.

Bullying probably goes on in other developed countries just as much as here because it seems to be an unfortunate human trait.

Brazil and other South American countries have prisons that can be death free for alls.

Some countries lynch their thieves in the streets.

Drug dealers are routinely shot in the streets in the Philippines.

5. Aye. There's nothing special about America.

We aren't even specially evil. We just have more power than most other nations so our evil tends to be a)amplified through the media, particularly in the states, and b) tends to cause more damage to the rest of the world.

2. Add killing of unarmed blackmen by rogue cops to your list.

It just makes me so sad...the amount of anger and aggression in this country!

...open-air prison for the Criminally Insane. What would you expect?
