    Not to worry though, the military is kept strong with a quarter of the federal expenditures going not into education, not into health care, but directly into the preservation of american exceptionalism

    I always laugh at those murder rate charts when they compare the United States to other countries. And they're always the same countries. Who picks these snowflake places??

    A fair comparison to the United States would be Brazil. What's the murder rate in Brazil? Let's see that on the charts. Or how about in Africa?


    Also, considering how vastly populated the US is in comparison to these other nations, then it's common sense why these numbers are higher.

    What... the f*ck?

    How does it make more sense to compare us with Brazil than with another first world country?

    Baby Boomers have ****ed us hard, once they disintegrate out of the gov't power and business ownership, the US can start to recover.

    What's the difference? If you had a country the size of the United States in terms of population and had the same gun laws, the numbers would be the same.

    But to compare the United States to France and Germany? Countries with strict gun laws and vastly lower populations than the United States is misleading and disingenuous.

    Are citizens allowed to possess firearms in China just as freely as they are here in the United States?


    Because if they were, the murder rate would be higher. It's simple Mathematics.

    So you're saying guns kill people, not people? Straying from your agenda?

    So if China had a 2nd Amendment and Chinese citizens could own weapons and an unlimited amount of weapons as we do here in the United States, you're saying that China would still have a lower murder rate? What are you basing this on? Their religion? Are Chinese less violent people? Explain.

    What is the agenda? I'm saying the United States has a higher murder rate than those aforementioned countries and for two reasons alone.

    1. Vastly Higher Population

    2. Guns are Legal to Own
