    America in general has become just a hostile place to live and interact in. I think people really underestimate how detrimental to ones mental health living in a country that allows people to own guns is and it’s a rl big tragedy. I think it’s the biggest difference between u.s and other countries and it shows culturally. If we got rid of all guns in the U.S. we would probably win the world cup and no one would even come close.

      To be clear… you’re afraid to talk to people because guns exist? If this is true, you may need to speak to someone about this professionally.

        Sort of reductive.

        Violence is bad in America. People feel it appropriate to start arguments about politics in public with strangers. Those people are allowed to have guns on them and in their cars. An angry person with a gun on their hip is just different.

        Thats just as a man too, women deal with worse, and I would argue even have a reason to need a gun themselves in some situations.

        Its violent all around here and it comes from regular ass people, like your neighbors.

        Actually, yeah, if you try to talk to someone’s girlfriend in the wrong place you probably won’t get shot, but you would be in pretty big danger. Violence is extremely prevalent in the u.s.
