Thanks to free speech anyone, anytime, anywhere can "contradict" us...whatever that means. Frankly, we just don't give a damn what the rest of the world thinks, says or does most of the time. We're your best friend or your worst enemy, rarely much in between.
•Your constitution, specifically the amendment around the right to bear arms. The US is an order of magnitude ahead of the rest of the world in mass shooting statistics with states having less restrictive gun ownership laws being the sad leaders in mass shootings"
God bless 'Murica! You damned right we all have a metric **** ton of firearms. It's what made us free and what keeps us free. But, again, it's NOT about the guns. Several countries have higher murder rates that the U.S.A. and there's a couple places on the planet with almost as many firearms per capita that don't have the death rate we do. It isn't about the guns...it's about the insane number of morons we have living in this nation. We breed assholes by the boatload here.
Freedom is, by its very nature...dangerous. I'll gladly take that risk as opposed to being a subject, slave or dependent on others for some false sense of 'security'.
My Corvette is not a 1962, but my neighbor owns a '62 Fuelie. It's just another advantage of being free...owning cars with high horsepower motors that the rest of the world envies.
Oh yeah...we took out Jihadi John yesterday. No need to thank us. It's what the Alpha dogs do. I would have preferred they sawed his head off very slowly with a dull bayonet, but a Hellfire missile works for me. God bless or armed forces!
"•Macho alpha male culture, which combined with the above creates deadly results"
We are not a nation of pussies...yet. There's still many of us that will stand and fight.
