What's your problem then? Why are you so angry?

I never blamed the US for any of my problems. I didn't mention my problems. In fact, I praise the US for their defense of Europe!

Don't you claim to be an American with German ancestry? You should be ashamed of slavery and the Holocaust, no? Whatever generation of German you are is irrelevant.

The prison system in the US is by far one of the worst in the developed world. I'm not sure if you're a pro-American bot or a middle schooler with too much access to the wrong corners of the internet.

Both sides in history can be bad. You can call out all of the horrible shit that Canada has done but it's not an argument against the US' inhumane prison system. Nobody is arguing with you but yourself.

Y'all don't understand freedom like America. Sure, the prisoners make 20 cents an hour and were sentenced because of drug laws that no longer exist. But they volunteer for the chance to make 500 and possibly get gored by a bull. /s

How many people commenting would do this for 500 bucks? Voluntarily?!

The Olympics-level mental gymnastics you need to reach that conclusion are up there with Simone Biles.

Of course it's barbaric! What are you on about? Whataboutism?

I haven't lived in Canada for almost 2 decades and don't particularly like much about it. Systemic slavery/dehumanization of one country doesn't cancel out the others.

I'm 3rd generation Canadian so...? TIL is about 'I recently found out' This horror against Native Canadians has been known to most well-educated Canadians for at least a decade.

Seriously what's your point? Moral relativism? You think I don't criticize my home country? Or I'm not allowed to criticize others because I personally sterilized native peoples?

Get a grip. We can be both be right about barbarism in a variety of cultures.

No doubt. I just can't imagine living there. Let alone prison or poverty in the US or Louisiana specifically.

Are you a Louisiana resident/native? To me this sounds barbaric. They treated gladiators better than this.

I guess nobody would come if they didn't? I'm sure tickets would sell out at official executions too, if they were sold.

I'm surprised no one has capitalized on that yet.

Yeah no thanks. I'm good 👍 🙂

Indeed! Damn, Bryan Cranston just keeps delivering top quality drama.

Took a little while for the show to find its groove and pick up the pace. But once it did...!
