When was the last time the US held a mass book burning of "counterrevolutionary" writings like the Universal Declaration of Human rights?
When was the last time a US librarian went to the gulag for having such a work on their shelf?
Oh, yeah, never.

Matt if you go back and look it is this same issue he talks about whenever he discusses the US. It is because as he admitted he has little actual knowledge of us and he saw this documentary on US prisons put out by ITV some time ago. One of the specific incidents he mentions repeatedly I know is a decade old since it involes Missouri prisoners in a Texas jail I was living in the St. Louis area at the time so I remember the news accounts. Moreover if it was that bad how did local news accounts even make it to television, would they not have covered this up.
No I repsect him because at least he admits he doesn't know that much about us and usually doens't talk much about the States. There are others on here that have even less knowledge than he does and still try to pass themselves off as knowing something about us. At least he doesn't, except on this on issue usually.
