^ I don't know what you base that opinion on, Goofle, but it can't be on the statistics I've just gleaned from Wikipedia:-

Quote:

United Nations figures for homicide rates (2013) per 100, 000 people:-
USA : 3.9
UK : 0.9

Incarceration rates per 100,000 people (2016):-
USA : 693
UK : 122

Life expectancy - male/female figures averaged out (2015) :-
USA : 69.1
UK : 71.4

Obesity rates - male/female figures averaged out (2007/8):-
USA : 34.5 % of total poulation
UK : 23 % of ditto
Yes, the USA invented jazz and Bob Dylan, and they put a man on the moon, but that shouldn't cloud our judgement. Also, let's not forget that they still owe us the tax on all that tea they threw into Boston Harbour!

How about the "Holy sh*t I live in America" rate?

But I'm happy to concede that I kinda overlooked stuff like that when making my original post. But there's obviously individual accountability that comes with those stats.

Goof getting owned by Lisna is such a nice thing to see.

Goofle 05-14-2017 06:42 PM

Owned by myself more than anything. Nothing Lisna said should change anybody's mind considering they are pretty much entirely a result of personal choice.

OccultHawk 05-14-2017 06:52 PM

Personal choice to do what?

Life expectancy is a personal choice? Do you realize how ****ing insensitive that is?

Key 05-14-2017 07:02 PM

well that too but i figured that was obvious

It's so insane I couldn't get what he was saying.

Being murdered is a personal choice? Trump might even have trouble selling that to his base. Just kidding.

Goofle 05-14-2017 07:09 PM

It's insensitive to point out that eating and living unhealthily may result in a poor life expectancy?

You do something that may result in you getting arrested... You're probably gonna get arrested bro.

The only category that is arguably not related to personal experience is the homicide rate, but I'd guess a lot of that isn't a result of randomly walking down the street minding your own business.

This is so naive.
