That's not a US thing, that's an every country everywhere thing.

Can you? I'm happy to simply continue to hold a different opinion to you.
You are being dismissive of the issue though; and it's never helpful.

Generally the burden is on the person making the positive claim.

Sure, I have no qualms taking your opinion as just speculation/belief/Ameriphobia.

Strong claims require strong evidence. Without evidence it's reasonable to dismiss.
Correct, it's a 'human' thing - nothing peculiar to US.
I disagree; the gap is way wider in the US than the countries that the US would like to compare itself to. It's easy to say "they're all as bad as each other", but it's usually inaccurate, and always dismissive.
