"gamma is definitely a racist."

OK GamGam, I see you were obviously thrilled when 9/11 happened and you generally hate other Americans... but burning down the part of our country that also happens to be the financial capital of the world is not exactly pragmatic thinking.

It is funny when people mention freedom here in the US when we have such alarming imprisonment stats. I haven't looked up this stat in a couple years, but I doubt things have changed much in that time; we make up slightly less than 5% of the world's population, yet have more than 20% of the entire world's prison population. We have more people in prison than any other country, even more than CHINA which is over 4x our size with over 1.4B people. And at China's seems relative - they are second most populous country in the world and have the second highest prison population. Our prison population numbers are extreme in comparison. I won't call a country that has such a disproportionately large prison population the best country on earth, as it means we either have an incredibly unfair justice system, or that we have a lot of shitty people here who commit felonies. Or both. We are not #1 in education, access to healthcare, infrastructure, or life expectancy... but we're damn sure gonna represent and be #1 in prison population. Also interesting to note that our prison recidivism rates are high too, so we're not rehabilitating the criminals, either, as the majority of them will reoffend. Not surprisingly, the country with the lowest recidivism rate I have heard of is Norway, which is always ranked highly in standard of living.

"Gratitude and being an honorable ally is only for unmanly looosers!" I don't care if we lose all our allies, as long as we own the libs!

Yeah that's exactly what I thought. You're such an empty vessel.
