> The insinuation being that the US is the only country doing this?

Can you please make up your mind? Either Americans are "exceptional" and this is "the best country in the world", or not. If not then I don't think its okay to hate on others when they are upset with things happening on this soil.

As we all know things in US go downhill since a while. This issue would not suprise in Russia in 80s or on Cuba, but if US is exceptional then it will be judged by exceptional rules. In this case it shows US fails miserably on "land of the free, home of the brave".



I have long speculated that the US chooses Cuba, NK, Russia, China, et al, as "enemies" purely out of jealousy.


I bet you'd call Zuck "exceptional" but I'd bet he's dead average athletically.


By "Zuck" do you mean Mark Zuckerberg? Mark Zuckerberg was the captain of the fencing team at Phillip Exeter, which requires much more than average athletic skills.
