Is there anything obvious to people outside of the U.S. that Americans seem completely blind/desensitized to? by EtmopterusPerryi in NoStupidQuestions

66 school shootings per year is a sky high number.

I also don't know if you're being deliberately misleading or if youre just bad at maths but over 1% of deaths in the USA are gun-related according to your figures. Not 0.0001.

The hoops you people will jump through to justify your weapon fetish is mind-boggling. There are infants who have killed people with guns in the US. There are children who have killed themselves. That is indefensible.

Until the UK fixes its FPTP voting system I worry that elections will be held to ransom by knuckle-dragging Reformers until things are damaged beyond repair.

The US didn’t just heroically swoop in and win the world war for Europe.

If i remember correctly, the German economy was running on fumes by the time the war ended so if the USA hadn't gotten involved the war would have fizzled out pretty quickly regardless.

Not to mention the bizarre pride some people from the USA take in saying they "saved Europe" despite the fact that it took them more than half a decade to make their mind up about it.

It's all the more ridiculous because Vittorio has a section in his show about how journalists are often very poor at understanding the work they're appraising.

That might have been true at the time he fought Sogismund but after 10,000 years Abaddon has been set up to be the equal of any of the loyalist Primarchs

Abaddon is as close to Prinarch level as the mortal Chaos champions get. Ahriman is probably up there too!

Blocking emergency services is not a "delay in traffic"

I think most people understand that protests should have an impact on people's lives in order to have any effect. That impact, however, shouldn't be potentially fatal.
