We seem to travel the world more than you do - while not having an uniquely shitty health care system, but instead having one that all of the modern world has a variant off.
Also look at your health care prices you ignorant little person:
And look at you living a bunch of years shorter:
But being egoistic and selfish and not caring about other people I guess is the US most important trait. You are living the stereotype.
And yes, again - In sweden you can hunt, and own rifles - we have 70% forrest.
Selfish, ignorant, idiotic, materialistic, shallow, stupid...yeah those stereotypes exist for a reason.
For sure.

US top diplomat and special envoy on hostage matters Robert C. O'Brien has been asked by President Donald Trump to go to Sweden as a result of the ASAP Rocky trial.
"He is here to look after the well-being of American citizens, which is always our highest priority," Ruth Newman, acting press speaker at the US embassy in Sweden, told TT.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
G-Eazy says Sweden treated him better than A$AP Rocky because of ‘white privilege’
https://pagesix.com/2019/07/22/g-eazy-says-sweden-treated-him-better-than-aap-rocky-because-of-white-privilege/G-Eazy believes racism is behind A$AP Rocky‘s lengthy detainment in Sweden.“This is the sad truth … The difference between me and Rocky’s treatment in Sweden brings to mind two concepts that disgustingly go hand in hand: white privilege and systemic racism,” the “Me, Myself & I” rapper tweeted on Friday. “Let’s call it what it is. He should not be behind bars right now. My heart goes out to @asvpxrocky.”In May 2018, G-Eazy, 30, was arrested in Stockholm for assault and drug possession.He did not face jail time after lunging at security during an attack aimed at a fan and police finding him in possession of approximately 1.5 ounces of cocaine. Instead, he paid a $9,000 fine and restitution to the victim.Rocky has been detained for more than two weeks at the Kronoberg Detention Center in Stockholm, while prosecutors investigate a June 30 street fight involving Rocky, two members of his team, including his bodyguard.The Swedish Prosecution Authority announced Monday that all charges against one of Rocky’s alleged attackers had been dropped. The second man was never under investigation. Rocky and his team remain detained.Lead prosecutor Daniel Suneson said in a press release Friday that he filed an extension until July 25 to decide how to indict Rocky.President Donald Trump vowed over the weekend that the White House would intervene by having conversations with the Swedish Prime Minister.

This is something that I would love to see in Canada.
Should also be said, that those kind of apartments built for the elderly. All I've ever heard about those solutions are that they are superexpensive and not an option for everyone.
I would think our "elderly care" is good when compared to many other countries (And I bet Canadas is too) but there is not much else that gets so much criticism and it's always a talking point in political debates. And I've heard from people working in the field how stressful the work is and constant cut backs etc.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

Regarding G-Eazy:But Eric Bylander, professor of litigation at Uppsala University, says that there is no indication that the arrest of ASAP Rocky is about racism.
- However, I am not surprised that it comes up. Issues of racism, especially in the police force, are enormously dominant there (in the USA).
But here there are good reasons other than that it being a question of racism. It is a matter of how easy it is to conduct a preliminary investigation, says Eric Bylander. When G-Eazy was arrested last year, he admitted the crimes. ASAP Rocky has claimed emergency protection.
These are some of the differences between the cases, Eric Bylander points out.
- It seems to be involving more people in this case than in the former one."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
U.S.A.Oh so a Swedish professor declared it's not racism. I didn't realize there was such unassailable evidence as a quote available. Next time just quote yourself, it's worth just as little.
Your unfettered nationalism is embarrassing. At least those of us in the states recognize the imperfection of the execution of our system of government. You're completely blind to yours.

CanadaAnd for people still sticking to the TMZ-narrative of ASAP Rocky being followed and harassed for hours on hours while ASAP wanted to just look at the Swedish architecture and agriculture (like he claimed in the interrogation). Between the first incident at the fastfood place and the victim being attacked - I think the time elapsed was 5 minutes.
And with this just-now released video you can see what ASAP Rockys bodyguard does that makes the victim and his friend come after and wanting them to pay for the headphones which broke:
