Abuse, violence, gambling and drugs. American?

Do you go outside? Abuse, violence, gambling and drugs are universal constants of human existence anywhere in the world.

While that’s true, it’s generally much more widespread in the great red, white and blue country of the world.

I'd say those things are more prevalent in many developing nations.
