Why do you not find this believable?
In the UK there is a 24.2 year difference between the life expectancy for men in the Calton area of Glasgow and the national average. I think 33 years for the difference between longest and shortest expectancies in the US sounds about right.

- arethuza 11y agoSad to say that the first thing I did when you mentioned an area of Glasgow was to to find a map of support for football teams in different Glasgow areas. By way of explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectarianism_in_Glasgow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectarianism_in_Glasgow [NB I don't follow football, come from a part of Scotland that has no real sectarianism and I married to someone from an Irish Catholic background - but I've seen enough displays of horrible bigotry towards Catholics to know it can be a serious problem, although it's not nearly as bad as it was]
- collyw 11y agoIts a two way thing in Glasgow. Both sides are as bad as each other. "Normal" peope are better staying out of the road.
