        So I’m guessing america, Sweden or UK, based on the knife comment. Or maybe a third world country (that isn’t america), but I don’t think so.

        I do. I live in a first world country, where people don’t fear speaking their minds. Or having to fear getting stabbed for that matter…

          I have read this braindead take a thousand times at least. There is no country on Earth without random violence.

            I never claimed that. Saying that ignores the amount of times it happens in a given country. Per capita.

        This has happened in Germany, too.
        I’m not going to try and educate other people anymore. Too many people now explode without warning at the slightest perceived criticism in public.

          Seriously, why do high population centers in the western world have so many mentally unstable people and/or tweakers?

            Low population areas do to. But you don’t have public transit so as long as you don’t wander into their meth labs you never have to meet them.

            Lots of people.

            Small town crazy is different. Small town crazy everyone knows who the lunatic is and avoids them or they don’t know and one day several people disappear or someone is kidnapped or something. Small town crazy scares the shit out of me.

              Small town crazy is more like the sheriff knows you beat the shit out of your wife and kids but ignores it as long as nobody ends up in the hospital.

              If rural crime was reported accurately, it would be very clear where the most dangerous places per capita are.

            Hey we have free healthcare in Canada and our waitlists are so laughable you may as well just join the crazies.

              The system here isn’t perfect either. But it is clearly a lot better than in many other places.

            Free my ass. Tax payer funded. If you’re going to support something, at least be honest about it.

              Nothing in life is free. I guess we should just get rid of the word. Who doesn’t know that “free healthcare” is paid with taxes? I obviously mean no unexpected bills or denied healthcare. Nobody has to chose between food or medication. Obviously…

              Do you also comment about the word literally and figuratively being synonyms?

        Not just America. I saw this on the DB to Strasbourg, drunk middle aged woman spitting vile at each person who passed her.

        You really wanna handle that?
