Only Thomas dissents!

To remove that aspect of his post, he could have done that from Australia, England or Japan....where civilized people don't have to live in fear of gun violence, and their kids don't have to waste educational time and endure trauma practicing "lock-down drills."

 

So, the vast majority of the world's population that existed on subsistence living about 150 years ago is now poorer and less free, as well as most Americans apparently, because of the 2AM? USA is such an "absolute shithole," in your mind, that all those people who would sacrifice everything just to be here are insane? Uneducated? Brainwashed? No one contends that America or anywhere is perfect and devoid of injustice, tragedy, etc. But apparently, you get one bagel that is a little over-toasted and you live in an "absolute shithole." Grow the F up.

 

I would think the absurdity of American (lack of) gun regulation, such as (for just a single example) an unhinged 18 year-old being able to walk in and buy an AR-15 then shoot up a school, is a little more serious than......an over-toasted bagel. Wouldn't you?

 

So you're saying its only kind of a shithole, not an absolute shithole. I guess we just disagree on where we are on the shithole spectrum.

 

America is a s-hole country because it has too many people think posts like this are smart.

 

Nope. America is not a "shithole" at all. It is the greatest country in the history of the world - warts and all. You and your ilk posting here are perfect examples what unprecedented luxury and freedom unfortunately produces - a cynical, sanctimonious whining set of malcontents who must exaggerate and feign catastrophe in order to seize an invisible scepter of righteousness to provide meaning to an otherwise ungrateful and empty existence. I'm happy for all our blessings and only wish you and others would share in that joy and discard your obsession with the world's failings of perfection.

 

Wow, the greatest country in the history of the world just so happens to be the one you were born and live in right now, that's so crazy. What are the odds?

 

I think you're mistaken. He's not a Trump supporter.

 

I've just seized the scepter of righteousness. You dont want to know what I'm doing with it right now.

 

Plus Christianity just so happens to be the predominant religion here so he gets to go to heaven too!

 

Banning IVF, mandating the Ten Commandments, leaving NATO, stroking off Putin, and inciting an attack on the Capitol would be my guess......

 

Now... all we need is a sound, responsible and unanimous definition of "dangerous" and everything will be okay.

 

Amazing set of coincidences all around

 

Whooah ... and I thought what I was doing to it was dirty

 

Very good odds. I'm thankful every day that I didn't have to go through the immigration process or illegally cross borders to get here. And you?

 

I am thankful I didnt have to experience our racist immigration & border policies too

 

According to your posts, I'm not smart. So, please explain the "racist" aspect of immigration and border policies.

 

We are getting off topic and I'm not done profaning the scepter of righteousness

 

Agreed. Why did you go there then? Too enticing to simply disparage your country and countrymen, throw out the race card, re-publish false narratives and unilaterally proclaim the high ground? Maybe there's a reason I wrote "scepter" instead of "shield." But, as you've more than intimated, I'm not smart enough to understand context, history, or nuance.

 

Hey now, I do enjoy disparaging America and Americans, but my narratives are both unpublished and true
