Racism is a made-up issue that was fabricated by Marxist university lecturers?Paramultart wrote:If you look at gun violence in America demographically, or if you simply live in the right (wrong) neighborhood, you will learn quickly that America does not have a gun problem to account for its high gun crime...
It has another problem. (And no... It's not le "racism". I'm talking about real issues that exist outside of Marxist university lectures.)
Yeah, that sounds like a defensible position. Feminists made up sexism from whole cloth, Marxists made up the 2008 capitalist collapse, the Jews made up the Holocaust, and so on, right?
Sorry, it's rather hard to take your position seriously. There's not a lot to say here other than your position is so ridiculous it's not even really worth addressing in full.
Forgive me, but both of your positions are really difficult to take seriously.Rorie wrote:Given the Departure of Paramultart and SyllyPride from my social media, I escalate my Assault to my critics who are part of my network to egg them into taking me off their pages, I am not surprised that they flatly reject my offer to visit Australia and experience the fact that Gun Control does work, Americans are afraid to bite the bullet and don't really want positive change which is exactly what the Republicans and NRA are against, they don't want anything to change their way of life which is giving them the right to bear arms in the claim they feel safer, The claim that More Guns, Less Crime is laughable, the answer is Less Guns, More Control!Paramultart wrote:Yes, because the National Rifle Association of America has such an impact on my everyday life...

I'm sorry if you disagree with me but then we both have the right to disagree, It is Free Speech after all and we're entitled to it even if we do bash each other
And by the way Paramultart feel free to remove me from Facebook, if you are really that anti-Australian, Our own Prime Minister certainly is!
Perhaps you're the one who needs to reevaluate the propaganda you are spoon-fed.
Until then, I will take your advice and kindly remove you from Facebook... But only because you insist.
One less pro-communist loon to hassle me.
President Obama has tried to change America for the better but the Republicans have been playing party politics and have been against him since day one, America has itself to blame by giving the Republican Party full control of Congress, Big Mistake, A even bigger mistake if a Republican like Donald Trump is elected President!
1.) What, you expect all Americans to go and visit Australia so they can see what a grand spectacle of human civilization is? Firstly, this is a particularly bizarre notion. The country that Americans visit the most is Canada, which has the same or similar forms of gun control that Australia has. And most Americans can actually afford to visit Canada, and in fact many have. So your accusation that Americans have never been in another country (which is true) that has gun control falls a bit... flat. Granted, it's only like 35% of the population.
2.) It's difficult for me to take any nationalist bellowing seriously. It's the exact same kind of unthoughtful, jingoistic rantings that are why gun control has such a problem in the US. Look, I'm sure Australia is a nice place to live. But Australia is also not pure-awesome, made-of-win fairytale land where everything is 100% functional and the whole country to perfect. It's a country, and that means people live in there, and that means that that country has problems (e.g. your country has currently made gay marriage unconsititutional, and one of the most harmful individuals in America, Rupert Murdoch, is a citizen and was educated by and raised in Australia, Australia also has had a lot of racism towards native peoples, and so on). People are flawed and that means cultures are flawed.
So no, by the same token, I won't hold this pretense of American exceptionalism, but I will say that I like my country --but not to the extent that I think all other counties are filled with raving, brain-washed lunatics. Don't get me wrong, Fox News has done it's part, but given that you're from Australia and it was an Australian who was turned Fox News into propoganda central, it might behoove you to be a little bit more humble about what your country has to offer to teach mine. And don't get me wrong, an exchange of cultures is usually good, but taking this bizarre, didactic, "my country knows better" approach to discourse is just, again, unthoughtful jingoism.
3.) I really need to emphasize this point. You have an Australian flag, a depiction of your country, a signature will nationalistic appeals, and yet you want me to take your decrying of Americans nationalism seriously? Yeah, America could do with some tighter gun control laws (or at least more efficacious ones). But you prattling on about how awesome Australia is and how much Americans are complaining about Australia (Not to be rude, but I can't remember any point in time where I've heard an American take time out of their day just to s*** on Australia. I'm sure it's happened, but it's farcical to just presume that Americans hate Australians. Ambivalence would be the best description) does nothing to make me think that you know what you're talking about. Again, I'm sure Australia is a nice place to live, but just like no one loves it when they have to listen to a person from country X talk about how ****ing epic country X is and how much everyone else should just do what country X does because country X is awesome --yeah, that's just jingoism. It's the same kind of nationalism and appeal to how awesome your own country is that makes gun control hard to implement in America.
Let me ask you a question Rorie. What countries have you been to?
