Your country claims to be gods country and the greatest country in the world, so there's a lot of info to gain. Especially when you're studying history in college. So I do know some things about the workings of America, although I don't know everything (which would be impossible). What I said was the way I look at things in America, and the way I think things work, but you don't have to agree with them.
And yes, other countries do have big problems, but in my opinion they are problems in a different degree. Smaller countries do have smaller issues to deal with, especially if these countries are more unified and have a strong centralized government

We aint supposed to have a centralized gov. Hence the 10th amendment.

And that is exactly why big problems are dealt with differently by each state

Originally posted by Risto:USA is just as much a country as the EU is. Only their states have a little less power, but their federation is more democratic than the EU.

Originally posted by stj0691:I really love when people generalize about America, and how many problems we have. I understand there are issues, but what country doesn't? Also, sure, there's a lot of info on America. I'm open to criticism. However, if you're going to make statements about America, at least be factually correct about them. If you don't, it makes you look really ignorant and misinformed.

Here are two facts... your murder and gun crime rates are high. Especially the gun crime. You have a very big prison population. Nine times higher than Sweden per capita.
