Religiosity is dropping in every developed country except the USA. Jesus and guns baby!

Republicans are not pro-life, they are anti-woman. All the laws to protect a fetus, but once it's born, no assistance for health care, education, childcare etc. The great George Carlin once said, "Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers".

To be fair, this is also happening in European countries.

What is wrong with women’s breasts/nipples? People celebrate the AR-15 but demonize women’s breasts. Why???

USA... the most sexist and also the most prude country in the world

Why would nipples be a problem? We all have them.

The Republic of Gilead (USA) keep pushing for this immature censorship. Yet didn't God create the beautiful human body? If so, why the shame? It wasn't like that in Roman times.

MIL was watching movies with us. Scarface chainsaw scene..no comment, Porkies nudity/sex? "Disgusting"

I’ll take nipples, please🤪

I mean I’m a bisexual woman and I’m not fine with female nipples being shown on TV, unless it’s a show or movie that has the appropriate rating. I’m not a fan of over-the-top violence either lol EDIT: this obviously doesn’t include women breastfeeding, I’m talking about stuff being shown in a sexual context, to children, without proper ratings

It's okay to see someone's head being blown away, but it's obscene watching someone getting head.

ʘʘ it is strange, the level of violence seems to be getting worse, UK TV shows too seem to be on an ever escalating violence spree just to get viewing figures

THIS. Applies to a lot of countries as well.

I remember the social media campaign when females posted their topless pictures with images of male nipples over their own to challenge the censorship policies. Obviously they weren't exactly successful.

Europeans seem to be obsessed with sexuality on tv and in advertising, they want more nudity because they don't get enough of it at home. My ex French hubby complained a lot about the lack of nudity in American advertising and I was all "why do you need that when you can get all that nudity for free at home?"

As an American, I personally dislike both, so I don’t watch much TV. Is it just me or isn’t it funny that the very same things people complain about in real life or the ones we glorify on TV?

Yep.

USA and NZ are the only western countries that allow direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical marketing.

Or... the voters are even dumber. Our education system is pretty terrible.

I think you mean 8% discount.

To be fair, the whole US electoral system with it's heavy emphasis on the President rather than the party is weird.

We already have restrictions on arms. You can't walk into a Walmart and buy an M60 machine gun because they are classified as a "weapon of mass destruction". All most of us want is for assault rifles to be classed the same way. It's not a huge thing to ask and it was done before in 1994 with the assault weapons ban.

Funny thing though! Those who hate immigrants are, like it or not, known as 'anchor-children' of immigrants who fleed whatever country they left behind. Now, the only people who can express their discomfort are the Native American-Indians. Don't believe me? Look for the YT video: 'Native American confronts anti illegal protesters' Just look an listen

With stupid high deductibles that a healthy person will never reach so basically Americans are being forced to pay outrageously high rates for nothing more than major medical and if you're lucky, one wellness visit each year.

Even in drug raids. Get the money before the people.

We're exhausted by it as well. Just pay a living wage!

Well, the Puritans were quite a sexually-repressed, violent group of people. They did not hesitate to use violence to "carry out God's plan", whatever they happened to think that was: assaulting and tormenting old women they thought were witches, burning Native Americans alive, persecuting Quakers, etc. They'd fit right in with today's GOP.

Yep! U can legally murder people for ur "country" and (supposedly) vote who will run it, but not capable of deciding if u should smoke or drink

In other countries guns serve a purpose, from sport to guerrilla warfare, but it seems in the US they are owned to feed the fantasy of the owner one day getting into a shoot out like in the films.

Big pharma calls the shots and the government has never had the courage to stop them.

You haven't seen kpop, cpop and jpop stans ( or stans of pretty much any asian celebs). Before anyone calls me out for 'racism', I'm asian.

A 2% charge on our taxable income gives us 'Universal Healthcare' here... I didn't realise we were an 'Evil Communist Country' Doesn't feel like it, feels more like the freedom country Americans shout about but don't have.

Poor folk in the US have to buy shelf-stable high calorie food. Lots of pasta, bread, canned food. Often theylive in food deserts where they have to travel long distances (not easy if you’re poor and there’s no public transport) to get to any kind of decent grocery store. Plus added sugar in everything. Please don’t judge too harshly. The stupids are drowning everyone who want to make things better.

I see too many giant trucks, they don’t even look good

Of course, because all children are exposed to death and bloody violence from the moment of birth and never, ever see a woman's breast. Obviously, I mean how could they? It's not like women's breasts feed babies, is it? (who, me, sarcastic? Never!)

I usually have to get to-go boxes, once at a restaurant I got a burger and a salad and I was already almost full by the time I finished my salad since it was so big and I had to take the burger home

Fructose/corn syrup in way too many foods

Please don’t say “they” like it’s all of us

"But I've never thought they would eat MY face!" cried the woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces party.
