The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So your argument equates a six year old rolling a basketball into your yard as equal threatening as four gangbangers kicking down your front door are 3 AM? Or a thug beating the hell out of your daughter as she waits for a bus. What is wrong with you people? v

In the past two days we have had a cheerleader shot because she accidentally got into the wrong car after practice, a six year old and parents shot because a basketball rolled into someone's yard, and a kid shot because he knocked on the wrong door when picking up his brother.

So far this year there have been more mass shootings (4 or more dead) than there have been days. We lead the world, by a multiple of a multiple of a multiple.

And you keep promising us that if there were just more guns we'd be safer. What is that number, and when do we get there? Or, to quote someone hereabouts: 'What is wrong with you people?'
