| 34. Land mass comparisons are BS |
|
Does anyone here remember the comparisons of Iraq and california and how California was MUCH more dangerous than Iraq if one compares their relative size.
If you are comparing a human statistic you need to compare it to another human statistic or ts complete BS.
However your underlying point that you feel defensive when you hear your home bashed bothers you. I've live all over the USA, Canada, south America and in the eu. In my experience asshats live everywhere. But ya gotta admit, the stupid is strong in the south. Disclaimer- Michelle Bachmann is my rep so what the fuck do I know.
