Knowing that Europe literally has a problem with its soccer audiences making monkey noises at black athletes makes this particular bit of condescension all the more ridiculous.

    Idiots and assholes exist everywhere. At least ours don't have guns.

    Yeah, they use knives instead.

    The knife homicide rate is literally higher in the US.

    If you think I'm trying to say the US is better.. by any measure LOL! -No. The US is a shithole.

    My point is that if you take guns out of the equation they'll just be replaced by something else.

    This isn’t the flex you think it is.

    Wasn't intended to be. But evil people will find a way to do evil.

    Yes, but one of those things is capable of a lot more damage in a much shorter amount of time.

    You’ll also have a hard time knifing people from a window with a wide vantage point.

    Knives are dangerous, and evil people will be evil. But should we just hand out rocket launchers on the side of the road because knives exist?

    It’s an absurd suggestion, obviously. So is “knives exist so guns are fine.”

    Reddit moment: comparing a few racist idiots with daily murders.

    "Daily murder" is a sneaky rhetorical maneuver, considering it's something influenced more by raw population size, than by capita. It's easy for there to be a "daily murder" in a country of 340,000,000 people, even when the overwhelmingly vast majority of people do not murder.

    Using "few" to trivialize/minimize the racism is no better.

    Shame on you for this disingenuousness.

    Even when we go per capita the US stays a shithole, it's not like they were trying to actively misinform people.

    The Asiaphobia that still goes on in the UK is absurd...

    I'll still never get over the British Dub of Takeshi's Castle referring to contestants as "Happy Clappy Jappy Chappies" and "Kamikaze Cousins"

    A shame, I really wanted to watch that version, it has Craig Charles doing the narrating, but.. sorry Lister, seems you can't help but be a smeghead around the Japanese.
