The reason why there's a lot of USA bashing is not, as you might think, because europeans like to nitpick some rare isolated events. It's because stuff such as this actually comes up so ridiculously often, all over the US. Yeah, it might be a very bad representation, but then again, we know a lot about your political system etc. The reason you're not picking on Sweden, for example, is because you probably don't know too much about Sweden, we aren't in the spotlight like the US. That's simply the downside of being a superpower, everyone has their eyes on the US. No, there is a lot of US bashing because the media sucks and there is a lot of gullible people on the internet and TL that will take everything they read at face value. Look no farther than this thread and see that over half the comments have made a judgement without hearing both sides of the story. I could probably get most of them to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide, that terrible chemical that can kill you if you inhale it, aka water. I could easily link to a half dozen threads of misleading or false OPs followed by typical US bashing. | ||

If the formula for finding "better" is x amount of trial stories that make it to the media and are shown in a bad light divided by the total number of trial stories that make it to the media, then perhaps yes by that formula the USA may have a lesser system than the middle east. It truly is silly to argue about whether or not our system is flawed, but trying to quantify how flawed compared to others using a far far more flawed logic of "I keep hearing about your screw ups, but never about things going well, clearly you ONLY have screw ups, god you're awful" is not only meaningless, but quite stupid. But all Americans are overweight, racist, ignorant, retarded assholes and there is nothing I can do about it. | ||

I´m sure you should atleast have the right to flee? Mobbing bad drivers sounds awesome though, no need for traffic police ever again. | ||

Consider the possibility of having a townful of Americans capable of recognizing a Norwegian person. Unless outsiders need to use an armpatch or something there. Or are you implying that the harshness of the sentence has something to do with where the person is from? No way, maybe in a lesser land but certainly not in the U.S.A | ||
