But you always say "you can't compare a 2nd world country like the USA to western Europe"
While well over half the stuff you post is comparing Western Europe to the USA.
Just come clean, what is your deal? i'm really curious
Now I understand why you get so defensive about when people criticise the USA because people like drro (militant US hater) constantly bash the US. Not all of us are bashers, well I am but I'm a constructive basher.

I love my country but not everything about it.We aint perfect but after llving about 1.5 hr North of London and all over Europe and in then some, I have learned that obviously the world is a big place to hate and love.To regulate it to just hate or love is a simplistic unrealistic view of really understanding how the world really is.
Its unfortunate that some have such aversion to keeping an open mind.

Lol yea you think what you whatever you want buddy
To be honest those areas in the pictures are not ghetto compaired to what we think of as ghetto in the U.S.
The European use of the word is more broad.It can mean "low Inocme area"that can be very multicutural and diverse.
.In the U.S. it ranges from certain behavior and almost always associated with urban mostly poor black and Hispanic sections of the city.Not much diversity

Yes, those areas do not look so bad at all and are nothing compared to the real thing like Camden, NJ:
The real American ghettos are actually Indian reservations, they are even worse than the inner city ghettos. the poorest counties in America can be found in South Dakota... not New Jersey or Illinois.

Exactly, Pine Ridge for instance, but actually that's beyond ghetto IMO
