Hi again, I'm back on the air....after my PC decided to go on a strike for a few days. Maybe too much porn.... because it kept overheating.
Well, RLCFan I know that your question was for JoJo but I would like to give my point of view on that matter.
First of all I dont know where are you from but I'll assume you are from outside USA (like myself).
The thing is, being outside one country just leaves you depending on the media to get an idea of what's going on in that country, in our case, United States. The fact is that everybody tends to compare his country with USA in direct terms and most of the time that kind of comparison will lead you to misjudge the facts because the statistics are not even to be compared. I'll try to explain it with some figures. In my case I live in Spain with +45.000.000 population and 500.000 Km2 area. How can anyone compare any number of anything with USA +315.000.000 people an about 20 times the size od Spain. To make a good comparison you should have to use the whole European Union te get close: +500.000.000 people and half the size of the USA. But again, you'll only get the most accurate information just over your own country and depend on the media to know what's going on another country, lets say the news I get from Poland while I live in Spain. If in Poland does not happen something really shocking (police brutality, mass murder, terrorism and so on) I won't get any info over there. So then I would tend to thing that terrible things happens always in other countries and that will not be the whole picture.
At th end you'd need the most shocking and of course BAD news, because good news doesn't sell newspapers, of all over Europe together and then export them to another place by the media. Then what do you think the people of that place would think about Europe? that it's completely fucked up....and surely is not the real scenario.
Sorry if I've written to much and if it's not very clear but it's hard to debate in a language it's not yours.
