Talked to a friend of mine this weekend from another western country, he was asking why so many mass shooting in US?
Frankly I could not explain it. He says people overseas are beginning to think we have lost our minds over here. Do you have an answer for him?

Why are police so trigger happy? I bet you its possible if they say hands up and you comply but then sneeze, they will blow you away?
and then say they were scared for their lives cause you moved a bit while sneezing. Its not too far fetched. This is what our police have become these days, cowards....afraid of their own shadows shooting first and asking questions later.

🥴 Should we get rid of the concept of Democracy?
Democracy allows the idiotic and brainwashed population to control what happens in the government. Which only stalls potential perfection and utopia. A perfect system would be run by one person who holds complete power over everything.
The USSR sort of did this and it led to near perfection but after restrictions on democracy were lifted people voted for capitalism. ending what was going to be a utopia.

Brett Favre displays the ignorance of whites who want to live with blinders on pretending that things that do not effect them do not exist?
Favre said, "When I turn on a game, I want to watch a game. I want to watch players play and teams win, lose, come from behind. I want to watch all the important parts of the game, not what's going on outside of the game."
There it is.......The tone deafness wreaks. Of course you do not want to know what is going on in the world around you Favre. You know why? because its not about harming you and your loved ones...........selfishness and racism personified. And I bet you if you had asked Favre if he is a racist, he would profusely deny the accusation. Yes Favre you are, for you do not have to be card carrying member of the Klan to be one, your wanting to bury your head in the sand about it makes you just as bad.

In a democracy, how can we ensure constructive criticism by the opposition instead of mindless opposing for the sake of it?
Favourite answer:By not tolerating mindless opposition from our own side.
If we held our representatives accountable for making arguments supported by facts and logic and based on constitutional principles, that would put a huge damper on much of the foolishness going around today.

Why united states show love and concern to illegal aliens but kick homeless americans to the curve?
there was alot of homeless living on-at a park and residence of the area were complaining so they had to move (continue to be homeless).
thousands of illegal kids that were sleeping at the border were brought into the country and big buildings were opened for them to sleep. why they won't do something like that for our homeless? first thing people will say is that they're kids but they're not our responsibility. we can't afford to take care of everybody

Why is the British government being secretive about the recovery rate...?
I'm looking at a live count of Covid19 in every country (on YouTube). It says how many cases, deaths and recoveries in each country as of late. But the UK says N/A in the "recovered" section. Why??
Also another country not reporting No. of recovered cases is Sweden. It's just very odd. Does recovery not matter then?

As you and your friends walk along a lake shore you come across a young man basically repeatedly dunking the head of older guy in the water?
and you tell him to stop it and he does not stop. He continues to repeat the process each time dunking the head of the older guy who looks like he is at least 70 years old under the water and keeps it there for a good 8 to 10 seconds bringing it up for maybe about 8 seconds and dunking it again saying this is what you get for messing with me. Anyway your group calls the police who arrive on the scene and fortunately they arrive within 3 or 4 minutes. Unfortunately by the time they do, the old guy is already no longer breathing and is pronounced dead on the scene.
At the trial, the defense says the official cause of death was a heart attack not drowning, so his client cannot be convicted of drowning the guy as he did not drown. Furthermore it is proven that the older guy had a series of health conditions including emphysema, high blood pressure and a previous mild heart attack. The defense claims that the guy was already very sickly and that this is why he died.
Will the verdict be innocent as the defense has a death certificate saying heart attack and not drowning.

What progress do you hope comes to the American judicial process from Biden's Court Commission on reforming the Supreme Court?
Should there be a Commission on each of the following also? 1) The effects of gerrymandering for partisan gain and how they skew representation in Congress and 2) The biased nature of the composition of the Senate clearly skewing things against the citizen population in making our country way less majoritarian than you would think a country that purports to be representative of the people (not land) government, and asks the fundamental question...how can the people of say Alaska have the same political power in the US Senate as the people of California with its millions of more citizens.

Is getting married when you are poor a bad idea?
When you are poor it is not a good idea to get married and have children because then your children will be born into poverty and struggle to survive. When you are single and don't have any children it is easier for you to live, you can save alot of money and get yourself out of poverty. When you are poor, are married and have children you and your children will continue living in poverty, have you seen the starving African children? Those children are born to suffer because they are born into poverty. There are alot of people who struggle to survive because they are poor. We live in a world where it is impossible to survive without money. If you try to get something without money including food and medicine it will not be given to you. They will let you starve. There are people who end up homeless with their children. When people lose their jobs they end up homeless with their children. You can never get yourself out of poverty when you are married. It is hard to get yourself out of poverty when you are married. When you get married you become a slave who works just to pay bills and support a family all your life then you get old and die. Since people are children they are taught that they have to get a girlfriend, get married and have children but that is wrong.
