The Sad Cunts with No Life Thread

Yup. And that's why Japan is a horror show. Or not.

Hopefully, this will get through the spam filter this time in reply to Ssanemax.

I agree with you about the fear; Americans in general seem to be the most afraid people on the planet; afraid of people around them, afraid of a "tyrannical government", afraid of anyone who is not like them, afraid of going abroad, and afraid of the latest enemy. However, the legacy of a violent past is very strong in the USA; it was created through violence against the native inhabitants, the British and the Mexicans. The cultural impact of that is strong and has even affected those who have no family histories of those times. The American legend of a country wrested from the British by armed men and then expanded and settled by other generations of armed men is one that affects attitudes and behaviours today.

American fear is pretty new, actually. When I was a kid, we slept with doors unlocked and the violent crime rate was twice what it is now. Americans have been taught to fear, very recently.

[Voice From Limbo]

Our pretend president is threatening to use the US military on US citizens, so yeah, right now I am afraid of a tyrannical government.

Former General Mattis just called Trump a threat to our Consitution.

Science plus board is a bit quiet. I suppose all the rufty-tufty RWNJs are hiding in their basements afeer'd of the rampaging librul, Commie, socialist, negro lovin' hordes

Mithmee won't be hiding in his basement he's hard as fuck.

While Mithmee gets away with being a dirtbag, a couple more of the sane voices - and Wesley Myers - get dawghoused.

Bilge really is a clueless moron.

[kyotebue2]

That's what Bill does encourage the bullies and Dawg House the sane ones.

Ooh, whataboutism!

Yes, the UK has a problem with racism; virtually every country does.

Yes, the UK has a problem with client crime; virtually every country does.

However, what we do not do is become so afraid of other people and of our government that we feel the need to arm ourselves to the teeth and shoot or stab people "just in case"; as a country we do not also feel the need to constantly search for the latest "enemy" that we must then be very, very afraid of.

So yes, America is a country full of violent, racist and terrified people.
