      We can make a separate thread if you would like to discuss. I’m well aware my own country has shortcomings.

        That probably actually describes many, if not all, countries/nations/peoples to some extent.

      How common are honor killings in 'Murica? Don’t get me wrong, the USA is a shithole, but India is more horrible if you’re poor, a woman, or a child.

          From Wikipedia: An honor killing (American English), honour killing (Commonwealth English), or shame killing is the murder of an individual, either an outsider or a member of a family, by someone seeking to protect what they see as the dignity and honor of themselves or their family. Honor killings are often connected to religion, caste, other forms of hierarchical social stratification, or sexuality. Most often, it involves the murder of a woman or girl by male family members, due to the perpetrators’ belief that the victim has brought dishonor or shame upon the family name, reputation or prestige.
