One of the few points I liked in Bowling For Columbine is that America is a society that is build on fear. The media and government see fit to perpetuate that fear and I don't see how that can do anything but make things worse.

How much have you travelled? I'm interested. You're obviously an intelligent person and are interested in the world outside your nation.
If you are going to ccompare the USA and other nations you need context and travel is the only way to get it. It's one thing to read about a country, it's another to actually experience it.
Don't worry, this isn't any sort of attack. I'm truly interested in the extent of your global travels.
