head of beetlejuice runs the city.

In the USA you mean, of course. Despite having more people
incarcerated than any other country in the world -- not only per capita but in absolute numbers!
Still no suggestion about why? A totally corrupt judicial system,
amongst other institutions, perhaps?

Is it violent crime? Is it gun-related crime? Or is it just "crime?"

of the USA looked red on a map?
"Overall crime rate is calculated by dividing the total number of
reported crimes of any kind by the total population, then multiplying
the result by 100,000 (because crime rate is typically reported as X number of crimes per 100,000 people)."
As always, the devil is in the details. Sweden's definition of rape is extremely broad, and there is a lot of support there for victims, which leads to a much higher rate of reporting. I know women here in the US that were raped and never reported it because going through the process
of being questioned, tested, and testifying can be just as traumatic, or even more-so.

Just "crime" in that case. anywhere from homicide, to rape, to theft.

The problem is that some people in the dominant culture are snowflakes
and can't deal with the idea that they are not the only, true,
privileged, special real Americans. And like any child who doesn't know how to deal with ideas, they bitch, whine, and cry.

I did not start this, Bjorn did. I simply responded to his post.
He has been a provocateur many times. He likes to sit there 7687 kilometers away from the U.S. as he likes to provoke and scrutinize
what he thinks he knows about the United States. I do not know how any
red blooded American can stand by and read his trivial nonsense and
not respond in kind. That's All.
The United States embraces cultural diversity.
In New York City there are over 800 languages that are spoken.
The US has always been a multicultural society, and the founding
fathers knew it as well as anyone. That's why they wrote E Pluribus
Unum (out of many, one) in so many places. Back in the 16th century,
the US was actually a pioneer in multiculturalism. Today,
multicultural countries are the norm, rather than the exception.

Yeah I wouldn't go that far. Did you ever notice how you can always
talk to a Conservative and have a conversation, but when a
Conservative attempts to have a conversation with a Liberal, they
either tell that it is a conspiracy or try another tactic to discredit you. Liberals used to be the great defenders of listening to a
different points of view. What happened to that?

Hello Greg,
And yet so many conservateves are calling for an English-only USA.
Why is that? Could it be because conservatives hate anybody who does
not speak English?

Have you stopped and considered or questioned why people who have migrated to the U.S. from other countries who have chosen to live here in the U.S. choose not to speak English?
If a citizen from the United States visits or will in the future to live in
that another country, would they be required to speak the language of their
new land?
With you being on the left, I am almost certain this has never occurred to you.
It is almost like not having intelligence, is being celebrated and embraced
by the left, why? So that they can be used of course. Duh.
Hello Greg,If that is so, then why speak any other language but English in a nation where it is the language of the majority?

Being able to speak English proficiently is a requirement for
immigrants to become US citizens. Of course, they also retain the
ability to speak their own native language. Much to the chagrin
of conservatives.
If a citizen from the United States visits or will in the future to l in
that another country, would they be required to speak the language of their
new land?
What for? I have been to many places around the world. Never had
to speak a word of Japanese in Japan. Never had to speak a word of
Spanish in Mexico. Fact is, no matter where you go, everybody in
the world speaks English when an American arrives. Even in places
such as Afghanistan.
For Life,For Life, yes I agree.
