    Weirdest thing? It’s the guns. Definitely the prevalence of guns in the hands of civilians.

    Oh. And also how they eat as if their healthcare was affordable.

      the prevalence of guns in the hands of civilians.

      We have a lot of guns in the hands of civilians here as well (Finland), but the difference is that they’re mostly hunting weapons and we have strict gun control laws - how you can get them, how they have to be stored, what types you can even have, and all that. What’s crazy about US is the amount and type of guns, how easily you can get them, the ways they’re kept so loosely, and the craziest to me; in some places even carried openly. To an outsider the lack of proper gun control seems to have lead into some GTA type of insanity

      Criticizing how we eat is like criticizing how the pigs in the farm eat.

      We’re not here to be healthy. We’re livestock. Our health only matters insofar as it affects the bottom line.
