re: Do you think many Americans understand how bad the rest of the world actually is

I have met my fair share of affluent people from other countries, and most of them live in compounds and have armed security rolling around with them 24/7. Also, a good bit of American contractors in foreign countries have the same setup

After watching dozens of videos, I feel like that one put me over the edge on the "Allah akbar" phrase. Just makes me wanna punch the next person I hear say it. I guess the way bad people in other countries go about doing things makes other people think light of the situations when they do happen. I mean, you're not gonna see 50 people tearing someone's clothes off, wrapping a tire around them, pouring gas, and then lighting them on fire. It just doesn't happen here, and US citizens have no idea that it would ever happen anywhere

I can't even fathom what we would do if people did know about it. It is just beyond my comprehension
