There was a point early in my time at the Dope when I realised that the single most contentious OP I could post would be:

> There are some aspects of America that could be improved somewhat.

And honestly I thought that time had largely passed. But here he is kicking off about “America bashing” in response to you saying something as milquetoast as this:

> [@How wealthy would the wealthiest person be in your ideal society?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-wealthy-would-the-wealthiest-person-be-in-your-ideal-society/994503/29):
>
> This might shock you, but “the American way” isn’t universally considered something good to emulate.

which… I mean if that is crossing a line into unconscionable and ill-mannered abuse of one’s hosts then _gosh_.
