Paul Joseph Watson on the UK's "high trust" society:
We're pretty much there in the US as well. I used to blog about how South Korea was a low-trust society, and the US was a high-trust society, but these days, you have to wonder. In Korea, pretty much anywhere on the peninsula, I can walk around at 3 a.m. and never worry about being mugged. Here, there are frequent stories of people losing their wallets in cabs, then having their wallets returned thanks to the kind efforts of cabbies and citizens. Korea has its own problems, and it's suffering from its own version of cultural rot, but overall, things aren't nearly as bad here as they seem to be in the States—at least in the States' big cities. As I've said before, if I do ever move back to the States, I'm going to be far away from people because people (i.e., Westerners) increasingly suck.
