Oh I get it, this is one of those situations where you throw out some random claim and it becomes true unless I can do the legwork for you and disprove it.
So no, actually you show me the facts. You made the claim, you support it. That's how these things work.
Or, we can do it your way and I'll counter with this:
Recidivism rates in Russia and China are higher than in the US and Canada. Correct me if I'm wrong. Show me the facts.
