Oh entirely. It's not a country of people wanting to work together to be better, it's a country of people that care about themselves only, and not at all interested in sharing.

It's all good, I'm use to seeing people tonight not be able to figure something simple out.

Another thing that you don't know anything else, so of course you think that.

Were cupcakes designed to kill people?
It's unfortunate but the entire American culture is built on violence. Without it the country is lost, has no home. So I get why you think it's necessary. It's just unfortunate that America will always be that country hitting itself going "this hurts! If only there was a way to stop doing it!"

You entirely did. You went from either everyone is armed to the teeth or you're on constant overwatch and dictated how to live your life. You completely bypassed everything in between.

It's not. You're going from one extreme to another trying to justify your country's poor decisions.

Not going down this long road with you. Seen it too many times, and there's never been any progress made.

Is that the only country you know of?

Yeah... Imagine fighting for the right to abort a fetus that isn't welcome in the world, only for it to grow up and get killed by someone who thought their right to end lives is more important than someone's right to abort a life and prevent a life of suffering. What fucking lunatics.

Seems to be working well for the rest of civilized countries.

By individual, I mean individual entity within the country; as opposed to supporting what's best for everyone, the mentality is focused on what I as an individual want. Granted that mentality doesn't always work out well for people that don't have a voice.
America could really benefit from socialism.

this is true. For being a country that claims to be as patriotic as America does, it's probably one of the least patriotic countries in the world. There's very little support for the country, and a LOT of support for individuality. And when you encourage the individual instead of the population you run into a lot of problems.

Yeah but the awkward part about these polls is that people will eat dog shit if their political party told them to. There's been countless times (Especially in recent times like with Trump) where people argued for something that they believed their political leader of choice said, but then found out afterwards it was their opposition that said.
I can imagine one in five Americans would vote that they're in favor of taxes too... But in the end, it's needed. Like it or not. Just like keeping Americans safe.
​
But I do agree it would cause a tyranny. And as unfortunate as it is, some people will just have to die for their beliefs. It's a common thing in American history, and all the power to them... but you can't have a progressive country with those radical beliefs running rampant within it.

The thing is gun laws can't be limited to a local area. That's the really unfortunate part, where parts of the country WANT to do the right thing, but are inhibited from doing it because the rest of the country doesn't wanna.

Host an education session on the subject of "what is an amendment?" first... Give them the benefit of the doubt that they can learn what that is.

As a non American, it just baffles me that it's almost 2023, and Americans just can't figure out why gun violence is so high in their country.

Isn't it neat how alcohol always makes for stories of "I wish I never ...", And yet nobody ever catches on that maybe you shouldn't have alcohol?
