Americans can't solve their child-killing problem in part because Americans refuse to believe that other rich countries have gun laws that work. Americans refuse to believe that other rich countries have laws at all. The accumulated wisdom of the world on the question of health insurance is completely unknown to most Americans, and enters the debate only to be scoffed at.
Shame the author's American..and he DOES have a dog in this fight!
You a typical American who can't take the outside worlds view of your nation TH? Kinda just reinforces the opinions really. "Insular", "selfish", "arrogant", and that "FTW" mentality (original meaning). They're all very clear to us "outsiders".
It's not really about sports or guns Frank mate. It's about how outsiders see us in those 4 countries. It's pretty tame in it's evaluation, but serves a point. Just one Americans views, but he hits a couple of nails on the head!

Dano, American exceptionalism is not silliness. That in itself is offensive. America is home to many, many innovations and liberties. How is that silliness?I worked that out. No worries.
The article is a generalization for the most part, as are all things stereotypical. "All Brit's have rotten teeth!"...umm no they don't. But a lot do. "All Americans are fat!"...umm no they're not. But a lot are. That type of thing really.
I was curious about the "rich countries have no laws" bit too...but took it in the same way as many Americans who spout about "American exceptionalism". I.E. - silliness!
I still don't see the "lot of fun" part of your sports in claiming to be World champions without inviting the rest of the World to take part? Kinda like the London American football team claiming to be world champions by winning the Euro league! Weird.
