    Dear downvoters, let’s hear why you think the US is not a shithole country. No harm in an honest discussion. I see the downvotes, but no retorts. Why so quiet?

      I just got to this thread and didn’t downvote you, but I assume it’s because the US is huge and the laws are not the same in every state. So it’d be like calling Europe a shithole continent because Russia is conscripting men into war, or because Hungary is trying to suppress freedom of the press.

      Should Canada be judged as a whole for the actions of Alberta?

        But what if America elected a child-rapist psychopath serial liar con artist racist thief and murderer as President who destroyed democracy and civil rights at home, and broke every treaty abroad and backstabbed every ally internationally AND had a Missoury “church” run a labour camp. Then would it be reasonable to judge them as a whole? A shitwhole. A no go zone?
