1. Being an alcoholic is pretty f-ucking far from morbidly ill.
2. I'm not actually an alcoholic, I just have a high tolerance for alcohol which I abused in my highschool/college years.

Right...
Well good luck with that. I'm sure you'll meet the criteria for morbidly ill soon enough. Can we ban alcohol now? 3rd leading cause of death in the world according to WHO.

I just know statistics exist about increased likeliness of countless health issues. I don't know you; you do, so it would make you the bigger f*cktard to pretend like everything is just fine and dandy.

Not an alcoholic? Forgive me then; you must drink alcohol for social purposes. I was under the impression that you binge drank and used it as an antidepressant.

Zoltan, I love your banter with Kurk, but you are woefully ignorant regarding guns. Despite the countless amount of firearms in the US, the homicide rate has been steadily dropping since the 80s.

Regarding the every third mass shooting statistic, it is utter bullshit.

That's honestly very interesting, haven't seen mass shootings broken down that way before. On the other hand, though, there was a recent study which found that the US only has 5% of the world's population but 31% of its mass-shootings, so that would suggest it's still a much bigger problem in America than other countries.
This study is quite frankly inaccurate. The criminologist Gary Kleck has detailed his issues with the studies. I will mention a few.
Problem 1: The study attempts to analyze 46 years of data. The problem with this is that "while data may be easily found for U.S. shootings, compiling information for developing nations could be all but impossible.". Due to the artificially low data, it creates a potempkin phased that indicates that the U.S. represents a higher bulk of mass shootings then it actually does.
Problem 2: Lankford, the author of the study, has not yet provided his methodology as to how he found the mass-shooting rates in developing countries. While Fox certainly is a skewed source, I found this passage interesting.
Problem 3: The study is not even peer-reviewed.
And even if this stat was accurate, the US is not number one in mass shooting frequency nor mass shooting mortality.

The amount of gun-related homicides is entirely irrelevant given the variance in culture. The UK had a lower homicide rate then they do now before implementing gun control. Anyway keep up the good work with Kurk, but don't spew off about politics.

Would be interesting to drink as an antidepressant since I'm not depressed. By the amount of assuming you do about my life one would think you'd get some right, but so far no luck. Keep trying tho eventually you'll presume something embarrassing right I'm sure.

Serbia's number 3?
Serbia hasn't had a mass public shooting since 2013, and even then the shooting killed only 13 people and was considered the bloodiest massacre we've seen this millennia. Meanwhile, America has a school shooting on a monthly basis.
Also, Kurk:
Kick her off campus. She's an awful human being for taking such a serious issue and lying about it just for attention.

Switzerland has 1 civilian gun for every 4 citizens, the second or third highest after the USA, yet they haven't seen a mass shooting since 2002. I wonder why nobody speaks of this?
@MythLord
Kicked off campus and that's it? She could've ruined someone's life permanently with her accusations? No jail time? Really?
