I believe the problem with our developed country being compared to other developed countries goes beyond murder rate, wouldn't you agree?
We have less mobility and opportunity between the ranks of our society than some of these other countries.
That lack of equality makes our richest very well off, but our poorest live in literal third world conditions (as Alabama was designated two years ago.)
To be honest I don't see a problem with comparing us to both, but with the consideration that there is an awful lot of variance between the different subsections of our society.
I hope you can learn and grow to be better, but you obviously have far to go.
You poor person you. Your family must be ashamed.
