"Americans don't have respect for others' lives."

Painting with a pretty broad brush there. Some Americans? Sure? Many? Maybe. All. No.


"We never turn the other cheek, or treat someone how we want to be treated, or sacrifice and offer kindness to receive the same...and we never take responsibility when we're hurting someone else."

Who is "we". I know lots of people who exhibit those behaviors on a regular and consistent basis.
