(2,884 posts) you have not debunked any of my arguments summed up below.
the majority opinion of the few participants on one thread is not validation
you assume I take my opinion for infallible: not the case
Anyway, it's not the point: I was objecting to calling the US society 'sick' relative to others.
Like I already wrote, if one calls the US society sick, one will need stronger words for most of the rest of the world. Without mentioning the obvious (poor Africa, the Muslim world, India, China), I pointed out that many European democracies have severe problems (riots or car burnings, mafia, royalty, etc), with only Scandinavia and Switzerland leading the way.
Though imperfect, the US remains quite an enviable place to be for most of its citizens.
Therefore, calling it a sick society is a gross misrepresentation.
