    You are a barbaric nation, livestreamed or not. You still have the death penalty for starters, and every school shooting is met with thoughts and prayers and nothing else.

    You’ve always been this way and it’s taken a monster shining a torch on it to show you. And your plan is just to get rid of the monster, as if that makes it all OK again…

        30% barbaric. 30% not barbaric. 40% undecided don’t see an issue with barbarism.

        FTFY.

        We just don’t have the luxury of that argument, I’m afraid… The problems here are systemic and exist within each of us to some degree.

        Yeah, the U.S. sucks but people from the U.K. can shut the fuck up about it.

          American here. People from everywhere and anywhere can say whatever they want about the US. If that makes you feel bad, you can log off and not read the comments.

          I love a lot of things about this country, I work hard and am actively working towards trying to make the America around me less shitty. But the comments and criticisms on America and the people that live here and who is in power are valid. Don’t like it, fine and you may fuck off and go do something productive.
