    Negativity is also a cancer. There’s a lot of great things about America, and a lot of great people. If the bad parts are stopping you from appreciating the good, the that reflects more on you than it does on the country or the people who live here.

      I didn’t say America was a cancer, I said American Exceptionalism.

        You also said you didn’t see any issues with the screenshot OP posted. That’s what I was mainly responding to.

      What if the negative aspects overwhelm the good? Particularly the shootings and lack of socialised services.

        Gun violence is a huge problem, but don’t forget there is less gun violence than in the 90s. And socialised services affect citizens, not foreign tourists.

        Like I said, if you can’t enjoy a vacation to the US then it reflects more on you than it does on the country.
