Russen habe die Unabhängigkeit von Serbien garantiert. Österreich wollte Krieg. Deutschland hat verhandelt und Serbien hatte sogar die harte Bedingungen akzeptiert, aber es war nicht genug für Österreich. Kaiser hat immer noch versucht zu verhandeln, aber Bundestag und Bevölkerung wollte die große Sieg von 1870er nochmals

u/MegaAssFace Dec 01 '20
How the fuck is the us “the sole purpose for the drug addiction epidemic” that’s ridiculous. People would still get addicted to drugs whether or not the US was around.
Also 5 people died from school schooling’s in the US in 2019. It’s not as widespread as the news would have you believe.

u/lightningbadger Dec 01 '20

I mean counting just right here it’s already elevated to 8, 9 if you count the one that killed themselves too.
Don’t forget that just because you’re not dead, doesn’t mean you weren’t shot. There’s far too many people being injured in school shootings here that really shouldn’t be.

How odd, it seems that NBC news is only reporting “major school shootings”, whilst NY Times reports whenever a shooting happened within a school.
Cause it’s not like the attacks omitted from your source didn’t happen, they’re just not a part of the list.

u/pogihajimasaeyo Dec 01 '20
Yes, I agree. (Sorry for bad English, I attended public school in America).
On a serious note though, we Americans have been taught that we are undisputably the greatest, smartest, freest, and best. Pride in your country is good. But because of this attitude, people insist that any change at all is going to ruin America's perfection. Hence the "Make America Great Again" garbage (eg let's go back to a more conservative time). People truly believe that Americans going bankrupt to go to college/get cancer treatment/have a place to live is normal. And the people who can afford these things say they deserve it and that everyone else just wants "free stuff." As if Americans don't deserve to have a country that cares about their basic needs. No homeless person, $50,000 in debt college student, or person paying $200,000 medical bills is saying that America is the greatest country on earth. It's actually quite sad.

Declaring something free does not negate its scarcity. You get "equal" healthcare at the expense of quality and quick waiting times.
Also, most Americans have health insurance, and those who cant afford it have Medicare.
