Culture, it's the one thing EVERYBODY seems to ignore when comparing countries and trying to figure out what policys work best... yet it's the one facet of our lives that has a serious noticeable effect on everything from crime rates, to how long you'll live naturally to productions levels, unemployment, corruption... |
You don't seem to have made a point on the other side of that observation... WHY is there such a culture difference that makes America seemingly much worse for crime, for guns, for unemployment, for economic instablity, for corruption, etc? Arguing culture is a convenient way to basically go "other countries that have solved the problem aren't relevant, because our culture is different".
