Those comments tend to come from individuals who are unhappy with their personal experiences. Since it is human nature to like to talk about our misadventures, those may represent the trend, or they may be isolated instances. Often these come to us as indirect comments from a friend of a friend. Let's do some science and see whether or not what we hear is accurate. You will be divided and assigned a country to research.
