No, see, it's cause I'm closer to all the bullshit in America, so it's easier to see.
One of the great things of America is that it has a high literacy rate (not that stupid recorded one that is "can your read on the level you are supposed to...) and we invented the internet. Tie those two things together, and have America invent Google, and you can find out stuff on other countries easily!
Yeah, Britain has fucked up, but trying to compare thousands of years of history of existing to hundreds of years is rather stupid. Plus, that was in terms of 'where I would want to live', again. Britain has less wage discrepancy, better healthcare, everyone has (different from place to place so there's a variety) accents I can giggle at like an American.
Google (american) seems to think that Wage Discrepancy is the Gender pay gap, so so do I. You must remember that, even if 10k men had the exact same, or even lower, pay than 10k women, one male Ceo would change the statistics to make it look like all men got thousands more. Statistics work like that.
Healthcare is kind of hard to compare. America has the best health technology, which is pretty much not disputed, the main complaints are how that gets to people. Are you about to pretend you know anything about the healthcare system that wasn't yelled at you by some pro/anti Obomacare advocate? Did you even know anything about our healthcare system before that?
America has accents too. There you go, judging by a different standard again. I live in a state with a different accent then a few states away. America has more accents than England does!
And yes, I consider dead babies to be somewhat more important in terms of 'things you do not want' as compared to 'not having excess material wealth in the hands of the very few and exceedingly rich'.
Wikipedia tells me that the US has lower infant mortality rates than the UK. Well, a lower rate, it has more because we have a lot more people. So you are outright lying to me. And what is wrong with people having material wealth? Does rich people existing make the stuff you have any less valuable?
And other countries have it(all of the bad shit), but I really really doubt that America is leading the charge to equality.
Then who is? America is the one who had the civil rights movement. America is the one who has a black president. America is the one who lead the world in equality so far. Everywhere else is more racist, but America was the first place to really show it. No matter how you look at it, Japan, for example, is more racist than America. Japan simply doesn't have a lot of races, the country never expedience many of the things that America has that pushed it forward.
