[b]The places with good effective parenting are in East Asia[/b], and that is why Anglo America is going to be taken over by their offspring. No Asian kid I know has had to seek accomodations for whatever BS condition, which is what so many American teens end up doing. I'm a college professor and I observe these differences. There are some real harworking American kids with a good work ethic but the majority don't respect authority and think they all deserve As for showing up. [/quote]

People in China, Korea, Japan, etc., are just better parents? Really?[/quote]

You can't deny that these countries have much lower violent crime rates than the US. Nor the drug use rates either. Parents there do a better job monitoring and parenting their children.[/quote]

Lots of places have much lower violent crime rates than the US, and it's not because people are better parents, it's because there are far fewer guns.

And homogeneous cultures. This is a huge indicator for low rates of violence in the absence of a corrupt government.[/quote]

In addition to the lack of guns in the European "Utopia's", they do not support violence.  They basically have no military.  As for the Asian countries, the biggest difference is we try to educate everyone.  In Asian (and Eastern Europe), they do not.  If you are not a top student, you do not get the chance to go to college.  That is the culture.  Every test is a gateway where one failure can doom one to factory work.  Someone has to make the iPhones.    In this country, we give everyone a chance to succeed.  And there are many chances to get on that ramp.
