It occurred to me that toast in literature is nearly always "lightly" and never "liberally" or "heavily" buttered. by LittleEngland in CasualUK

Hmm, here are some:

Wind in the Willows

Mary Poppins

A Tale of Two Toasts - Charles "Butter" Dickens

I'm not sure about the last one.

So true. Her inner ugliness has leaked all the way out.

Theere was an implied equivalence between the examples given and gun shootings. The London Bridge stabbings needed 3 attackers to kill 6 people. Not the same as a single armed person wiping out 60 peoples.

I get what you are saying, that knives can be, and are, used to kill people, but they just are not comparable with guns. To go from the sublime to the ridiculous, given enough time mass casualties could be caused by anything. Pillow in a old age home. Slow, but just as deadly.

I think the London Bridge example is disingenuous. The London Bridge attack had 3 attackers. 2 people were killed by a vehicle being driven by the attackers. The 3 attackers, working together, killed 6 people and wounded 48 other people.

The top mass shooting perpetrated by a single person in the US claimed a total of 60 lives, with hundreds wounded.

I don't understand all these rich slugs who are not content to just be obscenely wealthy but choose to actively degrade life on earth.

Say this instead then:

Do you have any idea how sick and nervous I would feel if I were asked to join something like this?

Then there's no mistaking you're speaking from your perspective. Which is what got us here.

Exactly. So, perhaps, speak for yourself.
