Oh yeah sure only for CIS heteronormative males :rolleyes: Because lord knows it is waaay better for gay black women in China.

The USA has a bunch of bad things going on but all things considered, it really is one of the better places in the world to live. If you disagree you simply haven't done much traveling imo. Even Europe is not as rosy as the liberals like to paint it.

What America should do is create a lot of buzzwords like DAESH and white guilt phrases like "we are to blame for this massacre not Islamic terrorism" that way we can continue to pretend the problem doesn't exist and hope it goes away on its own

So, because the US is not China level bad, we should probably not do anything that would save thousands of lives annually from violence and suicide risk.

Nah, firearms purchased in the U.S. are overwhelmingly manufactured here because import restrictions are perceived as being in the interest of both protectionists and gun control advocates

On the other hand we've pretty demonstrably got enough capacity to meet demand and giving everyone coupons to buy a firearm would be an economically inefficient subsidy to an industry that doesn't need it- the better solution is clearly an automatic cash transfer to every citizen that can be used to buy a firearm and stock of ammunition, but can also be used for anything else a citizen would want

No, I dunno how you got that from what I'm saying. All I am saying is: all things considered the USA is one of the nicer places to live in the world.

Obviously we can always improve things.

The US isn't bad, all things considered. It's pretty hosed up that having a medical crisis is going to bankrupt you and ruin the lives of you and probably your family forever though.

I just mean in this poo poo world, the USA is one of the less lovely places you could be. Obviously things suck for a lot of people here but at the same time you could be having oil waste dumped all over your ancestral farm land just like everyone else in your community thus destroying your livelihood and poisoning your family because global capital demands cheap oil.

It's kind of a pointless argument though. You could tell all but literally one person in the entire world that things could be worse.

I mean, I don't care, you can do whatever you want, but I don't really follow that line of reasoning.

It's not pointless. It's meant to inspire a little bit of sunshine on days when you are feeling lovely. Like, dang my rent is late and they towed my car.... but at least I'm not being massacred by warlords.

Or, dang, I'm super sad that bunch of fellow citizens were just murdered for no good reason... but at least I don't live in the Congo where they routinely murder political opponents as a matter of course and thousands lose their lives.

Or, dang, I owe the hospital $2k and I can't afford that poo poo... but at least I didn't bleed out or die of sepsis because there was still a functioning hospital around.

Getting some perspective can be good. Notice I'm not saying your problems don't matter because other people have it worse, either.

I think we should make owning and carrying a firearm at all times mandatory. It should be illegal to be unarmed. Every man, woman, and child should have a gun. Also everyone gets one free shooting per year (provided no one is killed). Discuss.

I believe it was the great philosopher Zac Parsons who said "we won't be safe until we become guns"
