And Europe didn't get there without its share of troubles and problems.
Today as we speak, the people are getting stabbed on the road (Cardiff) and in France islam extremists are responsible for terrorism.
It doesn't seem like it will be stay the paradise for long.
- evgen 6y agoFor those not in the UK, the pearl-clutching here is about an incident where a bunch of teens had a fight in the 13th largest city in the country and four ended up stabbed. None dead (at the moment) and it is headline news here. I would invite the Americans in the audience to imagine a world where a gang fight that left four kids stabbed in Fort Worth, Tx was national news. Yeah, let me tell you about what a dangerous shithole this place is becoming.... /s
- pc86 6y agoNational, no. But four teens getting stabbed in a single incident might very well be news in most of Texas, which is only about half the population of the entire UK, and well over half the population of England proper. America's a big place.
- evgen 6y agoFour teens getting shot but not killed in gang-related activity would possibly make the eleven o’clock news but probably not make the front page of the large urban papers in Texas, certainly not national news. For a stabbing? No chance.
