How can anyone possibly draw conclusions about the USA based on this? Like, really stop and think about all of the fallacies here. Do that 10 more times on 10

Do that 10 more times on 10 different bridges, and I’ll be shocked if that happens even one more time.

- powersnail 6y agoMy bad. I was speaking in too general a tone. I should have said that my interaction with the US society has been that people tend to meddle with others' business more often than in other countries that I've been to. But, yeah, I have many more anecdotes.
- geargrinder 6y agoThere are many other countries where I have experienced more societal meddling with neighbors' business. Ignoring the obvious authoritarian countries, many western european countries have a culture of making sure you are doing the normal or right thing. Germany is the easiest example.
