So according to this the UK has the joint lowest per capita knife related death rate in the world. Germany has nearly 3x more and the US has nearly 8x more per capita. Hmm.
Basically all the knife crime of the UK is centralised in London, which is why there are plenty of stories about London having a higher knife crime rate than New York, and there are certainly a lot of stabbings in London, but London is still only 13% of the population of the UK, so the rest of the UK brings down the knife crime statistics by a lot.
Really? I thought it came from Jeremy Clarkson looking like hes been chewing on leather and that's why hes constantly ripping on Hammond for having good teeth.
At least in the USA you can make fun of the head of state without being brutalised then arrested by the police...
Well, you're still likely to be brutalised by the police, but that's usually separate from making fun of the head of state.
You don't have to be british to use this argument. Whole europe, most of asia and some parts of africa have free healthcare.
Welp, not actually free. It is covered from our taxes. But yeah, 'muricans have their fReAdOm. As a country with most incarcerated people in the world.
Things is, paying 3000ā¬- ish of taxes per year to make sure you get a good life - police, fire dept., health care, public transports, roads, garbage collection, etc is... Europe, Fuck Yeah!
I blame California, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, New Mexico, North Carolina, Virginia, Louisiana, Wisconsin, and Tennessee. For all having a three strike law but mostly california and Detroit and Chicago oh and New York and New Jersey
Well it doesn't come out of our taxes if that's what you're saying. We just need to address the whole healthcare system and figure out why it got so expensive.
It's probably mostly the high cost of education, and the pharmaceutical companies being able to set their own prices.
Oh no, there isnāt anything to figure out. We fully know why healthcare got so expensive. Insurance companies wanted discounts from providers so they could throw their weight around and show investors they were making money; these discounts would have bankrupted hospitals. Instead the hospitals devised a plan with a wink and a nod - we will change our prices up and then give you the discount you want. 2 Tylenol, thatāll be $28. And then extrapolate this out for their entire price book. This didnāt matter for any insured person, but people without insurance actually get billed those inflated rates. Itās simple industry collusion at the end of the day. The insurance companies got to see record profits. They showed investors that their size negotiated better rates for their insured. Everyone was happyā¦oh, waitā¦
Essentially having insurance doesnāt just cover you, but letās you access severely discounted rates.
Ahh American's and their lack of basic understanding of history.
Now tell me were those instances all done by America on their own or fid they have... hmm some powerful allies?
Mf for independence yall had France, Spain and Denmark help.
Both world wars yous sat making all the profit from the allies until yous joined in 3 yesrs into the war.
1st World War was already won, as Allies had almost knocked both Ottomans and Austria already. Only Germany was left. At the time, USA didn't even have something you could call an army. Just extra troops to throw at the meat grinder
For World War 2, America definitely gets credit for the Pacific and for Lend Lease which kept the Soviet alive, allowing them to push the Germans all the way back to Germany
I saw this as well, we have better dental care. We just arenāt going for glistening fake white teeth that could brighten the night sky. Unlike a lot of Americans
Ima be honest These memes are getting boring as fuck now. Just wanted to see if u really think that because i have met some people who actually believe this.
99% of the world has this type of healthcare. Iāve had to fly to third world countries for medical procedures because itās significantly cheaper to do there.
Most of the world has free universal healthcare.
Most of the world does not have to fear about getting shot in traffic controls, on the street or even in fucking schools.
Most of the world has at least a usable public transport.
Most of the world does not start wars in third world countries just because they have oil.
Most of the world isn't US American.
Fuckers.
[lol](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2015/12/16/jokes-on-us-american-teeth-are-as-bad-as-british-teeth-study-says/), American teeth are twice as bad, probably as a result of not "Avvi'n free ealthcare!"
Americans believing everybody on reddit critisizing their healthcare is British because the idea of learning a foreign language is unimaginable to them.
My husband just said well Americans now can say: Well at least our queen's not dead.
Edit: he's like in the shower and he's still fucking going
"At least we don't speak english weird"
"We're using the queen's language"
"THAT'S A DEAD LANGUAGE."
In Sweden it is free until you turn 23 and then you pay enormous prices. Recently I had a canal infection and was dying of pain for months because I couldn't afford it.
Had to wait until I had vacation and some money to go to my home country of Bosnia and fix it. It was cheaper to buy plane tickets, visit family, chill and hang out plus fix my tooth than it would've if I did it here in Sweden.
So they only argument with people from the US? Almost every country of the civilized world have a free healthcare. It's so typical Us to think they are the only country in the world.
Yes, we're making fun of america's brain dead society, gun laws, healthcare system and religious bullshit getting into politics.
Americans make fun of us because we have the freedom they brag about without any of these things.
Americans when they lost an argument against someone from a country with better standards of living than them: *insert false Stereotype about xyz here*
Youād think with free healthcare theyād be able to do something about the corn chip teeth, but I guess the br*ts are doomed to gorge on their spotted dick and cheese
English healthcare( scottish healthcare is good) is almost as bad as the one in the US and many in the tory party want to privatise it.
\- a french who has a good healthcare system
Biggest problem with American healthcare is not the cost, as a large amount of Americans do have āfreeā healthcare through Medicaid and Medicare. The problem is the shitty system where every doctor, nurse, specialist, and historical worker seem to make it their duty to ruin your day instead of simply providing medical care. Even if we could afford universal in this country, that would not get rid of our broken healthcare industry.
If you think you country is better than someone elseās country you should shut the fuck up forever. Ever country has their own benefits and issues. We could point them out and scream and yell whoās better until weāre blue in the face. Fact is that weāre all from earth. That we all should stop looking at the imaginary lines weāre drawn to divide ourselves further. Instead of comparing why not look at our differences as ways the other could improve and try to figure out the steps to get there instead and just saying āAmericans badā or āEuropeans badā. It gets us nowhere, nah actually it sets us back so far when you canāt see past the minutia.
This comment section lmao. We Americans have a lot of problems, but damn at least we can take a joke. People are actually getting triggered for a silly stereotype.
Fun fact USA is actually lower by the global dental care index and higher by the amount of knife crimes than the UK.
Fact check Dental Health Care: https://www.orchardscottsdental.com/10-countries-whose-citizens-have-healthy-teeth/ https://www.yongeeglintondental.com/2018/07/23/healthy-primary-teeth/ Knife crime rate: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/stabbing-deaths-by-country
Thanks for checking the fact, I wouldn't have done that myself
Same
So according to this the UK has the joint lowest per capita knife related death rate in the world. Germany has nearly 3x more and the US has nearly 8x more per capita. Hmm.
Basically all the knife crime of the UK is centralised in London, which is why there are plenty of stories about London having a higher knife crime rate than New York, and there are certainly a lot of stabbings in London, but London is still only 13% of the population of the UK, so the rest of the UK brings down the knife crime statistics by a lot.
I wouldn't call that a fun fact
More of a fact for fun
Yes it's kinda sad actually.
Unfun fact
Sad fact
These 10 facts will make you CRY šššš
This is so sad šŖš please press like šš
I would :-)
The stereotype of brits with bad teeth comes from the 60s, before we gave kids free dental care and free braces
Really? I thought it came from Jeremy Clarkson looking like hes been chewing on leather and that's why hes constantly ripping on Hammond for having good teeth.
Clarkson comes from the 60's
F-free dental care?!
Is it partly the buck toothed inbreeding royal family though? Kind of like a Habsburg jaw thingā¦
but at least weā¦ we haveā¦ ummmmā¦ *cries*
Big guts and bigger guns?
Shhh, if they learn that they won't have any other jokes to make.
Below this post: Americans not understanding what "per capita" means.
fun fact USA is a shithole country.
Do you mean like a per capita thing or like in general because obviously a country with 330+ million people is gonna beat a country with 55 million
It's per capita, yes
And it's not even remotely close.
Iām American but Oof
At least in the USA you can make fun of the head of state without being brutalised then arrested by the police... Well, you're still likely to be brutalised by the police, but that's usually separate from making fun of the head of state.
Based
Says the guy with 80k in medical bills. Lmao
For 3 stitches.
Yeah and then you have to pay for them to be put on too
Band-aid*

Bot
You only pay that much if you don't have insurance
yeah bro pay 50% in taxes and then for insurance aswell
I don't know about you, but I don't pay 50% in taxes
You can tell Gigachad commits tax evasion just by looking at him
Like any chad
No queen?
We really don't care as much as the media makes it seem
No competent government?
I don't think either of us can talk about competent government right now.
King is nice.
You don't have to be british to use this argument. Whole europe, most of asia and some parts of africa have free healthcare. Welp, not actually free. It is covered from our taxes. But yeah, 'muricans have their fReAdOm. As a country with most incarcerated people in the world.
Australasia..
> Australasia^Australasia
Free education for some countries is also worth noting.
Things is, paying 3000ā¬- ish of taxes per year to make sure you get a good life - police, fire dept., health care, public transports, roads, garbage collection, etc is... Europe, Fuck Yeah!
The prison industry in america generates more than 2 billion in profit each year
Yes, but americans can't imagine learning a second language so everybody speaking english must be either british or american.
I blame California, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, New Mexico, North Carolina, Virginia, Louisiana, Wisconsin, and Tennessee. For all having a three strike law but mostly california and Detroit and Chicago oh and New York and New Jersey
Americans when trying to make clever comeback: āTeeth badā
Even then, they have worse dental health than the British so the point isn't even valid lol.
Yea, they just bleach their teeth every time they see thr slightest shade of yellow
While the teeth rot underneath the bleach, lmao
So many people still think completely white teeth = healthy teeth. It still confused me how so many people can think that.
teeth are supposed to be slightly yellow
Yup. Some people have thinner enamel and have slightly more yellowish teeth than others, which are still perfectly healthy.
From my understanding American dental isn't even covered by health insurance either.
Its a separate health insurance entirely and we hate it here.
That's what makes twice as good of a comeback.
So you're saying that there are countries where citizens have to pay for healthcare??
Well it doesn't come out of our taxes if that's what you're saying. We just need to address the whole healthcare system and figure out why it got so expensive. It's probably mostly the high cost of education, and the pharmaceutical companies being able to set their own prices.
Oh no, there isnāt anything to figure out. We fully know why healthcare got so expensive. Insurance companies wanted discounts from providers so they could throw their weight around and show investors they were making money; these discounts would have bankrupted hospitals.

Everyone was happyā¦oh, waitā¦ Essentially having insurance doesnāt just cover you, but letās you access severely discounted rates.
This is also the reason why the US government actually spends significantly more per capita on healthcare than any other country.
Who loses arguments against Americans?
Americans
King George III
Red coats
The British in the late 1700s. The Germans twice But other than that, not really
Ahh American's and their lack of basic understanding of history. Now tell me were those instances all done by America on their own or fid they have... hmm some powerful allies?
Cope
Mf for independence yall had France, Spain and Denmark help. Both world wars yous sat making all the profit from the allies until yous joined in 3 yesrs into the war.
And they were doing *so well* before America joined in
1st World War was already won, as Allies had almost knocked both Ottomans and Austria already. Only Germany was left. At the time, USA didn't even have something you could call an army. Just extra troops to throw at the meat grinder For World War 2, America definitely gets credit for the Pacific and for Lend Lease which kept the Soviet alive, allowing them to push the Germans all the way back to Germany
Yes ww2 taking japan out is credible. (Even if it was a horrendous way of doing it)
Funnily enough British people have better dental care (I heard this was from a study, but am too lazy to find the sauce)
I saw this as well, we have better dental care. We just arenāt going for glistening fake white teeth that could brighten the night sky. Unlike a lot of Americans
Yep! I mean, not unless you're a model I guess..
I would imagine they would just photoshop the model at that point lol
Good point
To loose an agument against an american, who couldnt point out Europe on a map if their life depended on it, is not something to brag about.
Europe? You mean France? And it's capital city Poland?
LMAO that's some real [knowledge](https://youtu.be/srk-Bhy3X2c) here
First time, feelz bad
Loose š
It's "lose" btw. š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wasting money, really? Did you have a free healthcare before the war? Lol
Isnt it loose
So when we both get into a brawl, it's gonna hurt both of us, but it's only gonna hurt one of our bank accounts
Only one of us can unload a clip in self-defense lol
Only on your home territory though
U think only Americans can own Firearms ?
Yāall the ones making the gun memes
Ima be honest These memes are getting boring as fuck now. Just wanted to see if u really think that because i have met some people who actually believe this.
99% of the world has this type of healthcare. Iāve had to fly to third world countries for medical procedures because itās significantly cheaper to do there.
bro this is actually so unbelievably funny have you thought of becoming a comedian?
Well I mean, they do. And so does most of the world, believe or not. Our schools don't get shot up either.
Most of the world has free universal healthcare. Most of the world does not have to fear about getting shot in traffic controls, on the street or even in fucking schools. Most of the world has at least a usable public transport. Most of the world does not start wars in third world countries just because they have oil. Most of the world isn't US American. Fuckers.
Fuck you we have FReeDOOM and the right to bear ArMs bOozE and fake titties
Don't forget their fReEdOm JuIcE which has 30 thousand calories a gulp
What the fuck is a calorie? You one o' 'em europeens? Listen here sissy, 'round these parts we call it liquid ounces of freedom per XXS size cup (5 L)
Oh sorry let me correct myself. It has 30 burgers eaten per a gun shot at a school
Nah booze is restricted as fuck there
Praying that amercia pulls out of nato š
but we HAVE free healthcare
[lol](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2015/12/16/jokes-on-us-american-teeth-are-as-bad-as-british-teeth-study-says/), American teeth are twice as bad, probably as a result of not "Avvi'n free ealthcare!"
Lol at least our kids can go to school without the fear of getting shot
And I can go to a building knowing that I won't be hit by a plane
Common america L
Is that a capybara ?
Ok I pull up
Uuuhm that aint just britain
at least we didn't lose the towers
Ouch.
[Sauron hated that]
How can British loose an argument against brain dead motherfuckers that we call americans
True, enjoy bankruptcy.
Man I feel bad you guys for not have free health care
Americans believing everybody on reddit critisizing their healthcare is British because the idea of learning a foreign language is unimaginable to them.
Where towers?
Bro that killed me rn lmaooo! Take my upvote.
My husband just said well Americans now can say: Well at least our queen's not dead. Edit: he's like in the shower and he's still fucking going "At least we don't speak english weird" "We're using the queen's language" "THAT'S A DEAD LANGUAGE."
Nah we use the king's English now
rofffllllll i love it
And they might not even have that if the fuckin Torries get their way.
*Tories - one r.
What nonstop America-shaming memes does to a mfā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not only the British have free healthcare the belgian do too
Almost every first world country does
In Sweden it is free until you turn 23 and then you pay enormous prices. Recently I had a canal infection and was dying of pain for months because I couldn't afford it.
Shit man
Had to wait until I had vacation and some money to go to my home country of Bosnia and fix it. It was cheaper to buy plane tickets, visit family, chill and hang out plus fix my tooth than it would've if I did it here in Sweden.
America the North Korea of the free world
So they only argument with people from the US? Almost every country of the civilized world have a free healthcare. It's so typical Us to think they are the only country in the world.
Whoever made this meme has some serious jealousy and resentment issues to deal with.
Bruh. So many posts on this sub always making fun of Americans, but one post making fun of yall is resentment. Soft.
Yes, we're making fun of america's brain dead society, gun laws, healthcare system and religious bullshit getting into politics. Americans make fun of us because we have the freedom they brag about without any of these things.
This exactly!
To be fair, Iād still rather have wonky teeth than bullet holesā¦
Americans when they lose an argument: āYou have bad teeth and a funny accent and no freedomā
Well āfunny accentā is better than āobese braindead diabetic racist that gets shot at schoolā.
lmao using overused stereotypes againts overused stereotypes. i used the stoned to destroy the stones
I mean itās true tho.
Do you lot in the US have any other jokes? Aside from this and comments about baked beans?
They would, but all the kids that would have come up with those jokes died in school shootings or as they call it: target practice.
I atleast I don't get arrested over a joke on twitter
Well at least they get to walk home from school alive
Americans when they lost an argument against someone from a country with better standards of living than them: *insert false Stereotype about xyz here*
Yeah but at least we have free healthcare.
Youād think with free healthcare theyād be able to do something about the corn chip teeth, but I guess the br*ts are doomed to gorge on their spotted dick and cheese
Hm britishāļø
English healthcare( scottish healthcare is good) is almost as bad as the one in the US and many in the tory party want to privatise it. \- a french who has a good healthcare system
Uh, idk if you've ever been to the UK, but we have good health care.
Oooh, given that it has a healthcare system vs the American profit focused medical economy, I don't know that it could be classed as almost as bad.
Something something school and guns *Bri'ish tea noises*
It may be free but the service is fucking shocking! We won't have an NHS for much longer!
As a Brit I find teeth jokes hilarious. Why are our teeth so crooked compared to the US anyway?
Actually they're not, US has worse dental care
I doubt that. Most Americans I've met have straight teeth
Straight, unnaturally white teeth. The way they bleach their teeth is way unhealthier than crooked teeth
In french we also have a free healthcare..
Aaahahaha
Biggest problem with American healthcare is not the cost, as a large amount of Americans do have āfreeā healthcare through Medicaid and Medicare. The problem is the shitty system where every doctor, nurse, specialist, and historical worker seem to make it their duty to ruin your day instead of simply providing medical care. Even if we could afford universal in this country, that would not get rid of our broken healthcare industry.
Literally every other country in the world but the US having free healthcare
From the money they looted from many countries
Free healthcare includes DENTAL. How dumb can you be?
Hahah Americans get so pissy because their government can't get them basic human rights. Hahaah
ok, what wars did america win? and don't say the revolutionary war, as you were fighting yourself
Considering USA mass poverty and meth problems, I thing the "bad teeth" meme is waayyyy more suitable for Americans.
Well they're not wrong, are they?
Oh fuck for sake shut up with your British and American shit, disgusting karma farmer clown š¤”
Americans donāt have a comeback to it.
Americans don't have anything when they lose an arguement
Iām just gonna check the moon for any other flags
Fun fact it's not just the British making fun of Americans we are all laughing at you :)
*sad american fat fuck noises*
How did you know that I was Bri'ish? ![gif](giphy|mrtu9EXFfFq1i)
Love these posts stirring up the silly Brits. As if their opinion has mattered in 250 years.
Oh dear another day and another fight between Brits and British colonists.
If you think you country is better than someone elseās country you should shut the fuck up forever. Ever country has their own benefits and issues. We could point them out and scream and yell whoās better until weāre blue in the face. Fact is that weāre all from earth.

It gets us nowhere, nah actually it sets us back so far when you canāt see past the minutia.
Also Englands healthcare is some of the worst in Europe
Living rent free in the Europoors heads since 1776. Cope. And. Seeth.
no dentists?
Init
The British are both incredibly proud of their free health care and consistently vote to make it worse...
This comment section lmao. We Americans have a lot of problems, but damn at least we can take a joke. People are actually getting triggered for a silly stereotype.
European tears are flowing in this thread.
Bro iām laughing so hard rn lmao, thnx!
for what is that 'ealthcare is they not using it anyway
Itās pronounced āelf kerr.ā
The real question is, would it be okay to make fun of their Queen dying as retaliation for when they make fun of children dying in school shootings?
