    150% increase in rape reports over the past decade is terrifying! So I’m sure my instructor wasn’t lying 10 yrs ago when it’s only gotten worse since then!

      Yes he was, and he taught you how to practice confirmation bias and how not to critically think.

      You’re asking fucking Gemini to make up an argument for you now. Notice how you’re not even asking it for how it compares to US figures or how many sexual assault cases are not reported in both regions, and if that discrepancy lines up or can be attributed to gun ownership rates.

        The statistics don’t lie even if it’s AI. USA rapes have declined dramatically over the past 10 years. Hmmm I wonder why?

          The AI lies, especially Gemini which is frequently wrong about what its sources say.

          It’s also a lie to say that those USA stats exist (you notably didn’t ask the unreliable AI about them) and that it’s all due to the presence of guns.

          Remember, you’re claiming that the US has no rape due to all the guns. There is zero statistics that will back up such a claim. Your only source is some gun safety instructor from ten years ago who definitely did not prove any such statistics either.

            No more arguing, we need to come together as a community, my post trying to unite:

            Community, this morning I see a lot of Anti-gun and Anti-stand your ground sentiment. I think it’s unfair to bring what this woman did with her gun to the conversation. We should feel more empathy for her situation in that moment. She felt threatened and she dealt with that issue the way she was trained.

            As a Fuck Cars community we need to focus on this situation as an example of how the car creates animosity between people. If both individuals arrived there in a different form of transportation, they may have not crossed paths like this. However, because it was in a car it created friction. I experience this friction in my day to day life and that’s why I hate cars. Please let’s focus on that as a community, let’s focus on how the automobile divides us, makes us angry, tears apart our community. That’s the point of this post, IMHO.

            Thank you, and I’m sorry for arguing all morning. Good day.

            Boom. Within 30 seconds of research you could have seen that my facts don’t lie

              Not only does that screenshot say it’s only a slight decrease and that it may be due to underreporting, it also says nothing about rates being down due to guns.

              You’re still basing your entire idea that Europe has a “rape crisis” due to something some idiot gun instructor told you ten years ago.

              I notice you couldn’t bring yourself to search up “USA rape crisis”.

                This is probably that doge kid at the WH, who thinks he should get college credits in economics, for using AI to wreck the US economy.
