As I conceded in an earlier post, If I misunderstood your statement, then the mistake was mine. Still though, I can't help but think it was an odd statement on you part. Had the story read like:
"Man murders his daughter after discovering that she was a lesbian." Then yeah, I would agree. That sounds like something that would happen in another country, and several of these countries pop into mind.
On the other hand, when the story reads like:
"Man grabs ballot box in an attempt to stop an illegal polling station." I can't really say that any other countries pop into mind where I think this could also occur. Sure, I guess it could happen in the US, but when someone buys a Quarter Pounder with cheese, my initial reaction isn't to say "sounds like something you could order in another country."
Never-the-less, if I misconstrued the point that you were trying to get across, then I apologize.
