Response to Original message |
| 23. LOL. "At the risk of oversimplification..." |
|
...there are two profoundly different kinds of people in America.
The first kind likes to fantasize about heroic gunners shooting down bad guys and saving the day. They often conjure up gruesome images, children being raped, people bleeding in the street, to make the fantasies more dramatic. And, they talk about penis size a lot.
And then you have the more rational and scientifically minded people. They benefit from having several extra hours a day that aren't spent fantasizing about violence. They like to read books and vote for Democrats, and are concerned about the fact that US, with it's lax gun laws, has by far the highest homicide rate in the industrialized world.
