That is your normal Amerocentric self bloviating there. First of all, what figures I found indicate a slightly higher GDP per capita than the US. There, 90 % of the citizens own their own home, whereas the bank took many of them here. We are down to about 65 %. The only thing you can say is that they got some fucked up laws, but have you looked around at your country ? Know what ? That fucking punk they wanted to cane over there for vandalism, and the west put pressure on them not to, I would have said "OK, he can go to jail for two years". In a country where he doesn't hardly know anyone, in a jail with multi-linguals which would put him at a disadvantage, and who knows the conditions. In fact I think they should have caning here, or public floggings. It may hurt, but it does not take years of your life away for a stupid mistake when you are young. You have a narrow view of these things. People over here talk of getting better drugs in prison than out on the streets. And it is true because I know because I did it. Yup, I was an associate of the supply chain at one time. We got only the very best shit. If you could get beer in prison I would go no problem. People I know been there, I asked a few like instead of doing all those years, what if it was REAL punishment, I mean hard labor no dope and who knows what else, but less time. All of them would take that. They would take a caning because time is irreplaceable. I know a guy now who is not even eligible for parole until 2038. That is over 20 more years of taxpayer support. I would rather get the job done fast and have the guy out in a couple of years saying "Damn, I ain't gonna do that again". You just like this shithole because you are used to it. Prisons have a revolving door and there is more violence here than almost anywhere else. And I happen to know that some people are so intimidated that they are afraid to report it. I am sure that kind of shit goes on elsewhere, but don't even start to think this is a utopia. And they got a good economy. When, not is but WHEN the dollar goes into the shitter you'll see how your fellow Americans are. They might resort to cannibalism. Regular people who used to be so honest and work at a job will be creeping around your back door looking for something to steal. No better or worse than anyone else. And then, when you have to rob ten people to get that ten bucks for a loaf of bread, people in that third world shithole will be living just fine. We won't, because this government is hell bent on stealing every little iota of wealth possible, and not just here, wherever they can pull it off in the rest of the world. Yes sir, a first world shithole, but that will change when the national credit card gets maxed out. Oh, and did I mention that Singpore's credit rating is better than the US' ? But keep those rose colored glasses on and keep on shouting "RA RA THE USA" . It will convince the other sheeple that things are just fine here. They are about to be fin. T^T
