Admonished by the UN for human rights violations, the US is now a 3rd world country.

This is just a report on water sanitation. All it says is most people in virginia aren't up to code, and homeless people don't have good access to clean water. I've never experienced any difficulty finding a way to tap into public water no matter matter how far from home I am. And sewage isn't required to be replaced every time the building code changes or every certain time interval, only when someone makes new construction.

Aside from this, water purification is simple and accessible to anyone. A fully effective water filter can be made from bituminous and anthracite coal, sand, plastic, garnet and gravel. Same accessible stuff that's in military water filters. Chlorine and citric acid will neutralize any microbes and the pH. Reverse osmosis is the only part that might seem a little tricky, but guess what? A $50 pool filter has the same RO element and the pump.

You can get water from anywhere. Ponds and lakes are surface representations of the water table (that's how far down you have to go to get water). If you're 25 miles from water, you can take a topographic map, find the water gradient from the difference in elevation between the nearest pools, dig about that far down. As long as it doesn't smell like sulfur, you've got a well. If it does, move about 10 yards and try again.

Simple stuff. Now no one from p99 should ever die of thirst.

This is worse than your Time magazine thing (by the way both things were on both front page covers, if you looked).

Yes Uthgaard, the United Nations investigated the United States of America's indigent populations so that it could write us an essay. ..for what? ..college credits?

GTFO with that nonsense dude, The UN doesn't make "reccomendations" regarding "human rights issues" for "no reason."

[Uthgaard]

The nonsense is this crap you keep posting. I'm not sure what your source is, but the theme I'm seeing is someone who thinks they think, but is too biased to do it. Critical thinking is the enemy of proving a point, and the ally of finding the true story.

Look up the answers your own questions. You might be surprised how moot your points are.

[Hasbinbad]

Like how we're just swimming in funds for infrastructure right now right? Like how discretionary spending isn't just a piggy bank for the air force, but actually is spending of our tax dollars used with discretion.. RIGHT??

When was the last time you drove on a road in the United States bro?

I want to be a 2nd world country

If you look in one of the paragraphs in the middle you will see that the US is not a third world country. This link shows how completely idiotic your post is.

[Hasbinbad]

How many lists are we more than halfway down on, if not towards the bottom? Including infrastructure, education, healthcare based on mean outcomes and/or cost[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]utcome ratio, mental stability, i mean i can go on bro..

You know what we're #1 at? Convictions leading to jailtime for a citizen's posession of miniscule amounts of marijuana.

Come at me bro.

I was all ready to write you a scathing post detailing how ignorant you are..

Then I actually clicked the link.

I am sorry for having those negative thoughts about you. <3 you.

[loopholbrook]

Also, this show that the U.S. is the exact opposite of a third world country. First world countries are based off of us.
