Hardly surprising coming from a nation where a third of you think dogs can get autism and about half can't read good

    The difference between the US and Europe in this regard is that Europeans are a bit more discreet with their crazy people. EU have 3 times the population as the United States does, obviously they’re gonna have ~3 times more crazy people than we do. They just don’t talk much about it, while, in the US, the crazy people refuse to shut the fuck up

    Edit: I mistakingly used EU instead of Europe when referring to a population of around 750 million. The EU does not have that population, but Europe, generally speaking, it does. That was my mistake.

    Edit: yikes, a lot of crazy people disagree with me

    I was thinking of the population of all of Europe, not just the EU. And I tend to use Europe and EU interchangeably. I probably shouldn’t do that.

    Not your fault. Both are valid abbreviations for each other. Only E.U. would actually be concrete, but...

    Saying the EU should be the European Union. Whereas just EU should signify Europe as you wouldnt say the Europe.

    The context here made it obvious you meant Europe though, dont know how people missed that.

    Education makes a tremendous difference. Americans have mentally ill people probably at the same rate as EU, but also has ignorant people and that’s where the difference is made up. If you travel 3 hrs in USA, you’ll find the same culture. If you travel 3 hrs in Europe, you’ll be in a different culture altogether.

    Culture doesn’t have anything to do with intelligence. Also, no, driving 3 hours in the US will definitely get you to a different culture, likely a different accent even. It takes 3.5 hours to get from NYC to Boston…

    I feel that you may be correlating untreated mental illness with a lack of education, and those are not the same things.

    I suggest you get a dictionary and look up the word “nuance”

    Edit: apparently, Europeans are just as capable of xenophobia and bigotry as Americans are. We have so much in common!

    half can't read good

    It should be 'read well', not good. 'Good' is an adjective and is always used with a noun. 'Well' is an adverb and is used to modify a verb, adverb or another adjective and answers the question 'how?'. Since the verb is 'read' it would need the adverb 'well' to modify the verb.

    proceeds to tell you that the way you used the words isn't right, your grammar isn't right, your spelling isn't right, the way you eat cereal isn't right, the way you drive isn't right, the way you speak to your mom isn't right, the way you dealt with that situation isn't right, and your whole existence isn't existing right
