Yes, I've lived in Europe. And no, this is not an America problem. It's a humanity problem.

Christianity, the nazis, Scientology, "the Swifties," the countless sects, schemes like Herbalife and their "cult of success," hell, the sports fans willing to beat up others because they use a shirt of a different color!

You use the term "interesting" as if it was a very novel concept. It isn't. Or am I wrong for having perceived it that way?

For example: sex offenders are a global thing. Go to freaking Stavanger, Norway, and you'll find people you can't reason with about "rape bad, m'kay?"
