I was using some hyperbole, but your anecdotal evidence doesn't change the fact that growing up in a Haredi society isn't even close to growing up in the Bible Belt. Take a step back from what I said, and look at the kid and his room. How many of those things are choices he has made?

I'll admit that religion tends to be the biggest offender when it comes to raising close-minded children with zero future, but no, there are other factors. What you're still missing is the extremity to which this kid is affected by his upbringing. In no other first-world country would you find this.
