10. Sorry, I never considered Canadians to be a different "race" than Americans.
My mistake.

I defend my statement that Americans can be considered to be "better" or "worse" (different) than other nations (which is unquantifiable statement you made in the first place) due to the manifestations of their beliefs/attitudes/world-views being different that other country's.

Do other countries have us much gun violence? Are other countries continuously considering appointing such right-wing extremists to govern them despite their constant failures (some are)? Is every country in Iraq? Does every country with the means to not have Universal Health Care?

As a whole, is what is happening in the US no "better" or "worse" than other countries? How can you separate the people from what is happening in their very communities? Especially if they, themselves have a say in their policies and elected leaders?
