tl;dr: Yes! I do think America as a nation/society is (one of) the most violent in the developed world. However, I get most of my information second hand from news bulletins, movies/tv, and a few friends/acquaintances who visit or live there. And I would never assume that any individual...

As pointed out before in this thread, technology, which is sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic. Following this reasoning, and assuming you would have access to magic in the magical universe, we could reformulate the question to whether you would rather live in the now, or go...
