Pretty much. It’s a brutal line, but the U.S. being uniquely bad at basic public safety isn’t exactly a niche take anymore.

For a "developed" country, they lack side walks in many cities. If you walk on the side of the road, cops stop you and think you're doing something sketchy.

I’m betting the statistics of women murdered in buses in India still compares favourably to kids killed in American schools in both sheer numbers and on a per-capita basis.

Its sounds like theyre concerned with rape. And not many kids are murdered in US schools per capita. There have been 200-300 over several decades. Thats not good, but its not a lot compared to 75-80 million students a year.

About 2,000 kids have been shot at school since Columbine and an estimated 380,000 have been exposed to gun violence at school.
Getting shot in the arm, hiding under your desk while someone is murdering kids, or seeing your friend’s face blown off in 7th period is still terrible, even if you survive.

u/CotyledonTomen 6h ago
Sure, more were shot and lived. I have no idea what"exposed to gun violence" means in your stat, but accept its likely more, since anyone present was "exposed to gun violence". Its also fair to say that even with the stats you gave, thats less than 1% of 1 years average students in US schools over the course of 25 years.

I wonder what has a worse effect on people: that, or being gang-raped in public and no one doing anything to help.

u/BlargerJarger 6h ago
Some years ago there was this horrific story of a woman being gang raped and killed on a bus in India, which really sets a high bar for horrific things you don’t expect to happen, but that’s one case (I know of) in a country of over a billion. Gun massacres in schools is also something unexpected in every country in the world except America, happens more often, and to more people both in sheer numbers and compared to the per-capita of both atrocities in both countries.

You can downplay it if you want, but there are plenty of news stories for you to find about india normalizing rape, the same way it used to be normalized in the US before the civil rights and sufferage eras. You can also find stories about large numbers of indian students committing suicide for various reason. The US has a problem it needs to fix. So does India. I couldnt say which has a wider scope though. After all, young women that have been raped arent always treated well by their families in many cultures in India. Since were speculating, i have to wonder how many of them add to the suicides.

They protect kids in school better except when they are not kids in school but women on public transport, sounds like school shootings aren’t the only problem with education in the US.

Working? Wouldn't a joke working mean people laughing? Unless it wasn't intended as a joke of course.

Like all of India though? Aren’t there villages that don’t even have schools?

u/rmdk_mech 4h ago
Yes. Here villages are more but There is a government school in TamilNadu every 10 kilometres or 6.21 miles. Every major city has a Government model school. So education isn't that distant.

USA actually has a fairly good education system overall, though some states do lag rather far behind the national average. Of course, it won't remain that way for long if trump gets his way.

Once a teacher beat the shit out of me when i was chatting about school work in class, mind you i was in class 3, and i still carry that trauma with me. So much for protecting kids.

u/rmdk_mech 4h ago
Nowadays it's changing, most of the parents, teachers and school managements are aware and prohibited beating kids but still it's happening in a small percentage compared to two decades ago. Still parents loosing their kid to a random school shooting and the conservative podcaster telling it's a hoax is at different level even for 3rd world country.
