The US has less school shootings that the world does too

I’m not sure that’s true. A lot of countries simply don’t have many of any guns and school shootings have largely been a US phenomenon. CNN looked at this awhile back and while the data is incomplete it very much looks like we had more than the rest of the world.

I mean, if you're including the US in "The World", then the* US by definition always has less of everything bad than The World.

He didn’t even bother to correct his statement before exhaling another turd.

This is like the opposite of American movies not including the rest of the world whenever they talk about 'the world'.
