... how were there "literally comments all over this thread" talking about other countries when I first commented, if I was the first to comment.
Sure. But also it wasnt only in America. You still came in with an assumption that was incorrect and have been proven so and have made no comment towards that.
You are still trying to keep your opinion while being presented with anecdotes that dispell it.
I ask if there is more because I dont think its a conversation for you to just double down on the part that restricts its relatability artificially to something that only your select group does when others are pointing out their personal experience with it. Humans do human things. Its nice to compare rather than pretend its exclusive.
