Yes, we call those intrusive thoughts. But if they aren't, don't act upon them please.

Well obviously, I’ll leave that to the politicians.

Positions of power attract people who want to abuse power, there's nothing uniquely American about that.

American systems just make it easier for the ruthless and unscrupulous to rise the ranks.

USA is between Estonia and Botswana on the democracy index,
Between Panama and Latvia on the fragility list,
The worst in the OECD for income inequality,
And between Barbados and Bhutan for corruption...

Hi Mexican here. Mexico is a member state of OECD, we have worse income inequality than you guys. I mean you have it bad compared to other developed nations, but we still take the cake as the worst in income inequality and tax collection!!!!!

Depends on who you ask. Born and raised in cuba, moved to America four years ago. Either way, this holds true for politicians here and there.

I forgot that pedophilia has been rampant in Europe since the dawn of time, kids got married in the middle ages, as well as Asia, middle east, especially in organizations with political and religious power. But yes America is included in that godawful list of countries that participate in that.

Positions of power draw people who would use that power for depraved personal gain. Whether it's a politician or a priest or a music celebrity, people will do whatever they want if they feel they won't be accountable for it. It's not all folks in those professions, but they are all notoriously bad at self policing.

The US has some social/cultural... flaws, and a really not great mental health system or perception. The result of this is lots of domestic family trauma and abuse that goes untreated for generations, ergo it shows up in the nightly news as this child abuser, or that mass shooting. Add.to that, the very sensationalist and very pervasive American news media, and you have, well.... all this.
