There's almost a perfect direct correlation between a country's median age and stability/quality of life.

Some countries are pretty much run by teenagers.

They used to gouge eyes too. What's your point? The difference is the west ended it hundreds of years ago but those who you proudly defend are doing it NOW.

I guess you never heard of Anders Breivik, Dillon Roof, or the countless other white supremacist terrorists... Don't let prejudice cloud your judgement...
