i stand corrected.
i'd argue that it's because much of the world has somewhat more homogenized societies, which we lack. no common language, no common culture, no common beliefs which lead to a large amount of strife when you have absolutely nothing in common with large swaths of your own country. america isn't a melting pot, it's a tossed salad with every group of croutons trying to soak up the most dressing for themselves.
homogenized cultures usually run more smoothly.
but that's neither here nor there, i don't want to completely send the thread off the rails.
