Very true.
But let's be honest, America does suck.
The healthcare is abysmal.
Public education continually struggles.
Our social justice system is in shambles.
Our social services are deplorable.
Our military spending is obscene.
Our poverty is appalling.
Our lack of technological access (internet) is near third-world.
Our president is a laughing stock, and our government is more concerned about the rich than the public.
This list could go on for a while...
Is this supposed to be sarcastic?

You wish.

It's all apart of a political agenda and a ploy to put Americans against each other.

I actually think you're onto something. But what is the next step? What is the endgame.? Why do they want to pit Americans against each other? A foreign power?

re: Bullet_Proof

Chaos in the US, and reducing US influence in the world, is certainly in the financial interest of more than 1 country's leaders.

Haha, you're probably the same people who scream racist at anyone here who accepts Kenyans dope more because their Third World society is far more corrupt.
Actually, I'm a person, not 'people'. Are you stupid or just a foreign troll who has trouble expressing yourself in English. It is sad that the troll farm would devote a B team to Let's Run.
And I've never expressed an opinion on whether the position on Kenyan doping is racially motivated.

Sad thing is that apparently he is British, he should know better, right?

re: yes, we have our problems but

Does "yes, we have problems our problems but" have any idea of what the kill rate for US cops is per day? It has been almost 3 people per day for the last several years.. I do not know what it has been for the last 3 months, but the long term average is indicative.

The Kenyan killed by cop rate works out to 0.2/day if the report period covers 75 days. US population is about 7 times that of Kenya, so applying that multiplier we get 1.4 kill/day scaled up to equal population. To put bluntly, far better paid and armored US cops are twice as bad as the Kenyan cops (with some uncertainty associated with the lockdown rate v "normal" rate in both countries).

Also, the US killed by cop rate was about 0.5 people/day 25 or 30 years ago, which many, such as Joseph McNamara who studied this issue after retiring as a long time cop (chief in Wichita and then San Jose), thought was significantly too high, because when sufficient data were available to evaluate by an experienced outsider, the cop stories often fell apart.
