I didn't claim anything of the sort. Go back and read, and pay attention to user names. The OP showed a person making an analogy about sharing highways, and another person (tachyon-log) made a comment that only Americans would bring up highways in an example of social and safety standards.

No one has seriously claimed that no one else has highways. Dalekcaan (this sub-thread's OP) then made fun of tachyon-log by pretending to be them, and taking their argument to an absurdist extreme, the joke being that everyone else DOES have highways, and using them as a nationalistic wedge is ridiculous. I'm starting to think you took that comment literally, and not as a satire on the whole "only americans think of highways" bit? It's fine if you did, but you've been strangely combative about all this, when it's pretty easy to just talk calmly and clear up misconceptions.
