Why did you think he was lying?

Edit: Then why did you put a question mark at the end of a statement of fact instead of a period? What he said was true, has been true for a long time in fact (not just Europe, but a lot of the rest of the world), and you can easily google for evidence if you don't believe him, without questioning his honesty. Were you honestly that surprised that you had to ask?

The US lags so far behind other so-called "third world countries" not only in banking, but also health care, freedom from gun violence and school shootings, and now also civil rights and freedom of speech and democracy. I don't think Canada or Greenland would vote to give up their advantages and freedoms to become US states, but if they did, they sure wouldn't vote for the current administration.

I didn't think anyone was lying. Not sure what you mean by that. I was wondering if what they were saying included that aspect specifically or not.

I am not even sure why you were putting words like shocking, surprised, skeptical seemingly into my response. None of these are accurate descriptions of my question and response.

I don't know, I am just asking a simple clarifying question, and you are responding going into some big rant about something unrelated.

I hope you are doing OK because it seems like you are struggling with something.
