I'm certainly don't have any privileges. Well, aside from having access to net as there are still people out there who don't have access at all... But that's irrelevant. The point is, how can you Americans sleep at night knowing that the next day might be your last? Yeah, it's true that being non-american myself, the very fact that someone might sleep with an actual working gun at their side would seem very alien to me. When it comes down to it, most people would be quite decent folk indeed and that truly evil people doesn't exist anywhere.
Oh f*** off with that condescending attitude. I'm sorry, but using "I don't understand" as an excuse to bolster a point genuinely aggrivates me. There is a big cultural difference between the US and Europe, especially were you're from I'm sure. In the US, there are many diverse groups of people with their own perspectives, views, ideals, cultures, history and opinion. Like when you have such a diverse nation you should expect disagreements on the matter.
Others can show statistics better than I can so I won't debate that, however it's genuinely getting annoying how often you're saying "I don't understand" and yet seem to have no inkling to actually wanting to understand it. Not to mention the generalization of your statement "How can Americans sleep at night knowing it might be their last" as if every American has that thought when they go to bed at night. Look I'm not trying to rant on you, but honestly my advice is talk about it. Learn why it would seem that way and talk with multiple peeps "in that area" about it.
It doesn't help the victims or anyone by not filling yourself in on the matter and even getting a better perspective. Frankly, I understand emotions are high, which is why discussions like these need to happen to find a viable solution or reason why they occur. I'm against jumping due to a # and painting your opponents as against a notion because they have a different opinion.
Solutions can be found by conversing and understanding each other's perspective, something severely lacking nowadays in the world. Pardon if I came off as harsh.
Also, I believe everyone has some form of privilege. Whether object wise or mentality wise, everyone has benefits to the life they've lived. Plus, you just said that you don't have to worry about the gun bit in your place, so if we go with your point that American gun violence is as bad as you say then that would be a privilege, wouldn't it.
yeah no, that's incredibly ignorant of workers' struggle all around the world and shows your privilege.
Care to explain how that links to worker's struggles all around the world? I get it was misguided statement, but that is kinda pushing it. Also, no it doesn't show privilege it was a misguided statement he made. Unless you can show a linking of the two then I'm sorry, but please.
