Wait. Wat? I thought this is the American "days since last mass shooting" counter and just working fine.

Thats just over the Top, no need for that, shouldn't be a dev
Gah, i'm so offended by that post i'm gonna buy an automatic weapon and visit the school to let off some steam... Oh shit i'm European :( Americans have all the fun. Surely it's my god-given right laid down by the founding fathers to shoot at small children like a real man?It's muh freedom to own guns! How else can I defund muhself from all dem shootas?
Wait. Wat? I thought this is the American "days since last mass shooting" counter and just working fine.Sure Paul is sort of a dick, but he's still our most active and best dev, we need him damnit.
We're not all gun toting, bible clutching, huge pickup driving rednecks in 'murica. Lots of us believe in gun control, but the corporations and powerful business interests control the government. And they keep the population divided and arguing about social issues (when in reality both parties are pretty similar when it comes to how they vote on social issues, and legislation that is passed when one side has a majority).
Also have you seen the size of America? It's pretty big, just in one county you can have redneck sections, nerd sections, hipsters, Arabs, Somalis, Hmong, rich elites, homeless, etc. Now extrapolate that to a state, or a region, or the whole country. Trying to generalize any country's people is ignorant, let alone one the size and population of 'murica.

I thought it was the days since last being owned by a Genocidal madman. So whats your at, like 595,680 hours?
Yes I went there. Btw, Europe has MORE violent crime than US, just less murder. Realistically if you arent a black male in the inner city your chances of getting murdered are lower in US and you are FAR more likely to get mugged or raped in Europe.
Haha, i think someone's patriotic juices have just started dribbling down their legs xD someone implied that 'Murica had a lot of school shootings, oh shit, blatant lie.
You're right, we're all just jealous of how amazing 'Murica is. Did you apply statistics on the probability of being gunned down between the ages of 8-12 by an angry nerd? Cos i may be clutching at straws here, but i think that sounds like a thing that sometimes happens in some less fortunate countries... I feel kinda bad, cos after a shooting i feelz i really do, but then out come the NRA spokespeople saying 'Oh no! What an unavoidable incident, what a poor deranged fool, everyone should buy more guns to feel safer', then the parents of the slaughtered kids question how the fuck someone like that got an automatic weapon and people shake their heads sadly as the parents have clearly gone hysterical and are just trying to pin the blame on someone else.
The best part is how people drink it up every time, cos gun control would be 'Un-American' and then act startled when the next incident happens. Fun fact, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, so each time you give the same response after a shooting and do nothing, then act surprised as it happens again, that's insane. I can laugh about it, cos it isn't my country, cos i can't imagine another civilized country being too pigheaded to take measures, but then again knowing America their idea of 'measures' would probably be to give the 8 year olds guns of their own lol.
Long story short, sticks and stones etc, but you're the one with the country full of dead kids, 'Murica! Freedom! Yeah! Paul made a joke, then you got defensive on a subject that has no defense. Y'know how some people visit Rome for the history, France for fine dining and Northern Europe for the beer, it's no wonder terrorists pick America as their holiday destination of choice when they want to kill innocent people, it's basically part of your culture. 'Honey, imagine if we told our friends we spent a week in America and didn't shoot a single kid... What would folk back home think?'
We should rename them from 'school shootings' to 'America Shootings!' or 'Freedom Shootings', that way you can be even more proud of them cos they're such a unique thing to your country and they're acts of freedom that demonstrate how free everyone is, and if another country has a similar event you know they're just trying to be cool like you.
Last I checked the U.S. body count for isolated crazy person going postal events maybe slightly over a thousand. Whats your body count for Mr. aid-off Hitlah and other hate crimes in Europe? Pretty sure you got us beat by 50+ MILLION chief. Crazy people dont last long when a large portion of the populous are armed and willing to act.You don't want to go back in time, do you?
You don't want to go back in time, do you?
Just mentioning indian wars and slave trade. US should not point out others genozides.

Actually everyone should point out everyone's genocides and try to prevent them from happening again. It's like the Israeli's saying that the US doesn't have any ground to stand on when our citizens say that they have second class citizens (basically apartheid). "Well the US did it 50 years ago, so that makes it okay".That is pretty much what I wanted to say. Do not point at others. first process own countries faults.
That's the same logic as your doctor smoking cigs so you don't think you can get lung cancer. Good luck with that.
Gawddamnit Paul, look at what you've done :lol:
Maybe you a foreigner is missing the point, having guns around prevents people taking your freedom.
A thousand people dead over 10 years is a pretty small price to pay. Instead you could actually care about something important like drunk or distracted driving that kills 100x more people.
No amount of gun control or mental health services would prevent as much shooting as the news media not giving these stories as much coverage as they get EVERY SINGLE TIME. By broadcasting this shit like its important, they're just turning it into a video game and acheivement earning process for the mentally ill & religious wackos.
And your American solution would be for the media to cover up these incidents? Phahaha, where to begin? Sweep the dead kids under the proverbial carpet? Good job, problem solved, freedom etc. 'What's the point in giving these Freedom Shootings all this media coverage, like big deal, it was cool the first 10 times guys...' Forget saving lives, let's just pretend it isn't happening, that's a much better solution, and maybe if we don't report it those damn foreigners will stop making fun of us xD
Is any of this irony getting through? Or are you just seeing stars and stripes on your page? Or maybe my words all blur through your American freedom filter into 'Foreigner! He's a Commi! Exterminate!'.
Or i could get into bomb-making, poisoning, electrifying shit but then we've moved into supervillain territory.
If i wanted to kill a load of people right now i'd have to work out (fuck that shit), get a big scary knife (or something) and hope noone in the room knows any self defense, or mobs me, or throws a chair at me, or just mobs me, or survives my clumsy swings, or just mobs me. Or i could get into bomb-making, poisoning, electrifying shit but then we've moved into supervillain territory. Long story short, if i ever go on a rampage my country is essentially safe from me lol. There is a serious point i was trying to make, the only way to kill a ton of people in this country is through extreme premeditation, essentially you'd need to plan and prepare, and learn shit for ages before your spree- so of course you still get some lone freaks who'll try shit, cos they're sick, but because of the amount of time needed to put in no crime of passion, heat of the moment, temporary insanity, can have the same horrific effects as if they could just get a gun and run wild.
Are you talking about the past or now? Cos if you're talking about now then maybe you'd see more Americans moving to Europe if you saw more of Europe lol. I know quite a few Americans living in England atm, and one who wishes he still could.
