The poorest parts of Italy aren't as crime-ridden as the poorest parts of USA.
The life expectancy is also longer.
And food is better.
Your reply has created quite the conundrum for your average FOX watching, flag waving, low information conservative:
A) Do I exercise my nationalist tendency where I shriek the U.S. is the greatest country on earth and say that the poorest parts of America are better than the poorest parts of ITALY?
B) By doing so, I am taking low income parts of America, many slum like ghettos, and saying those neighborhoods are not so bad after all, after spending most of my time on this forum railing against the poor minorities who are forced by economic circumstance to reside there?
That can get your average conservative all twisted into an ideological knot that he will have to help in freeing himself from....

Except that I was not replying to you when I said those things, so you must have a guilty conscience, or reading comprehension issues.
