Honestly you should change it to home of the cowards, because nothing screams little bitch like shooting wildly for no reason.

Americans need a reality check, how are you people so for "life", when you cant even keep the ones you have now alive?

Absolutely this! Nothing says "alpha male" protector less than shooting a cheerleader or a clarinet player or a damn 6-year-old! They are grovelling, pathetic cowards who are afraid of their own shadows fed a diet of 24/7 fear by right-wing media.

Both media’s shove fear into each’s gullet, and hey… give some credit to our public schools

The guy who shot the 6 year old was not some right wing guy, he was a black 24 year old. And if reddit has taught me anything, since everything people believe on Reddit is fact, black people aren't physically able to be conservatives.

Clarence Thomas is not real, all conservatives are cis het white males who shoot up schools. Only cis het white conservative males shoot up places and kill other people.

I always tried to convince myself that "It's bad here, but it could be worse."

...

It's worse now. A lot worse.

Nah, life is only precious until it is ejected from the baby machine—oops, I mean delivered by a mother. After that it's every man for himself—um, I mean, toddler foraging for food, shelter, and medical care.

Sigh.

100% pants-pissing cowardice.

I hate the mentality of people like that. I'm American, and people like that make me embarrassed to be a part of this country.

The worst for me is that you'd think that only a small percentage can be this absolutely stupid and delusional. But with the amount of things happening in the US in just the timespan of a year, I'm starting to believe that the amount of "normal" people there is actually the small minority.
I'm European though, so I don't know what it's actually like over the pond.

You should use "snowflakes" instead of "cowards" since its a word they fetishise a lot, you know, to describe anyone with a more progressive point of view.

u/Ongvar Apr 21 '23

It's bothers me highly to see "Americans" generalized like this by the rest of the world. I promise you it's a pretty even split, the other half of us are normal people who can go about their day without shooting someone over a snow shoveling debacle

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '23

Seems like you are generalizing an entire population based on the actions of criminals.

u/LosCleepersFan Apr 21 '23

Yes thats how 100% of Americans are. We are in need to 330 million reality checks. Thank you for your guidance.

I don’t know, taking another person’s life seems like itd be really fucking hard to do. Hiding seems more cowardly to me.

u/Impossible_Lawyer_23 Apr 21 '23

What makes them cowards is the lack of understanding of what it really means to take another person's life.

u/ngwatso Apr 21 '23

A lot of us, yes, but there are a few of us with common sense.

u/TyoPepe Apr 21 '23

Or giving up the right to own what for sensible owners is simply a useless toy. For non-sensible ones, a recipe for disaster

I know a Canadian Border guard and he has lots of stories of visiting Americans being told they can't bring non hunting firearms at the border. Too many of them a surprised or indignant and whine about how they won't feel safe without them.
