Something to think about...(US longevity)

[ICantSpellDawg]

That's a pile of cr*p. "We have 15% of immigrants, therefore our education, and healthcare are bad?"
That's not even an argument for a developed country.



Sweden doesn't have detailed demographic data because it treats all its citizens the same, regardless of ethnic origin. Which shouldn't matter in a developed nation, right?

Besides, regardless, the data provided by state is bad anyway, and the fact that the state is failing to provide for its poorest and weakest citizens, forcing them to die 10 years younger is simply appalling.

That is ridiculous. The survey is just another one used to embarrass the U.S. Compare our white population's longevity with Sweden's white population and I think you'll find a very similar number, maybe the U.S. will have a slightly lower rate.

When you have 12.8 percent of your population that is black and has third world longevity rates, come back and compare us. Or when you take another 10% from Mexico... and a further 5% from other 3rd world latin american nations. When you do both, then it is a fair comparison. Sure we need to work on it, but give me a break - we are having a different experience altogether.

America is the devil. Our racist gun culture and habitual nationally supported murder and ethnic cleansing is finally catching up to us. The Wild west supposedly ended years ago - i don't know why we are still living in it. The US is such a global disgrace. Now we are "forcing our citizens to die 10 years younger" than they naturally should! Abominable. I'm surprised we haven't started calling these times the "dark ages" in America what with all the ignorant religiosity to boot.

We're doing just fine and we need to keep going forward. The HDI lists us as #12 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...elopment_Index
