[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you never heard of the coffin homes in Hong Kong or Guryong Village in S Korea? You were a tourist in a series of small countries and now you think you are worldly enough to criticize the place that gave you the opportunities and privilege to visit those countries to begin with?[/quote]

Pffff....all I gotta do is drive 45 minutes up to Baltimore. Moot point.

Because the US has soooo much freedom that we don't even have the right to live free from gun violence in schools because of the gun lobby, nor do we have any rights to affordable healthcare because of the insurance/pharmaceutical lobbies.  Americans think they have so much freedom when all they are are slaves to corporate interests.

No one thinks any of the aforementioned countries are perfect.  But their infrastructure sure as hell blows the US' out of the water.  We stopped trying to develop the country many decades ago and are closer looking to Russia than other high tech 1st world countries.[/quote]
