I care, that's who. Those "some" suicides are the #1 mode of death by gun in the US.

I didn't know you thought there were strict limits to this discussion. If you want to set boundaries for a chat, you should say what they are upfront so the other person can opt out, which is what I'll be doing after this comment.

If you think a bunch of amateur gun-owners running around with their assault rifles would be enough to stand up to the US military if it were turned on the people, you don't know what you think you're talking about, no matter what limits you set on the topic.

Suddenly, you sound like a supercilious, frustrated gun nut. Sorry I missed that, or I would have dropped this convo sooner.

Your phrases, "Who cares?" and "...none of my concern," are revealing. Our dictator Donald Trump is often described as a "solipsist." If you're unfamiliar with the term, Google it. You sound like you're in the same category.

Suicides by gun, mass shootings, and day-to-day crime violence are far greater worries than the occasional political "assassinations," though we do like those too. BTW, how and by who Charlie Kirk was killed is far from a settled issue, though our increasingly far-right authoritarian government would like us to think it is.

Oh yeah, we have guns, alright. More guns than people.
330,000,000 people
392,000,000 guns (this figure counts only registered guns, god knows how many unregistered guns there are)

As in the armored military vehicle known as a "tank," I suppose? Maybe a reference to the tanks with which the ruthless Chinese Commie regime shut down the protests in Tiananmen Square back in the 80s?

I'm afraid we're very close to seeing something like that enacted here in the US as Trump and his psycho regime push us ever further into brutal authoritarianism. People never learn.

Boring, fluffy, perfect fantasy for Western fujoshis who love watching fake, conflict and tension-free, Teddy Bear romances between sexless eunuchs, as they imagine young men to be in their cotton candy/Unicorn dreams. It creeps me out when these fujoshis describe a BL as a "comfort" show. What is it they find in an artificial, saccharine series about gay men that "comforts" them in their real-life worlds?

Absolutely dull and lifeless. I'm out after one and a half episodes.
Avoid unless you are a Western fujoshi or think like one, in which case, enjoy.
As usual, the MDL rating above is absurd.
The Western fujoshi MDL member "BL Compilations" left a droolingly positive review for this show above, which is always a neon red sign flashing STOP.
You have been warned.

OK, paid Chinese bot.

Hi Ryen. Thanks for the background.
It explains a lot, in particular Asska's nonsensical insistence that I'm "maga" and that I'm as "offended" by being called "maga" as Cnetz are by being called out for insisting there are too many stars on a carpet or that some fictional character in a drama was mean to China...or something. lol

Apparently, you've run into these three more than I have. Do you think they might be Chinese paid bots?

Wow...flat-out psycho shit now.

Oh gosh, you capitalized MAGA now. I guess that makes it so.
I'm am offended by your stupidity, this is true.

Me: "Likewise, you'd know that for centuries and to this very day, racial IQ differences have been used by people like you to justify slavery, discrimination, apartheid, and many other abominations."

Yeah, but to you or something, that's ME justifying slavery...I guess, ,or something. You are a moron.

Keep calling me maga. It will be no more true the 50th time you say it than the first. And now it's, get this, environment, not race, you were referencing with your IQ remarks. yeah, sure, keep the BS coming, sister. You don't have an argument, just an ever-changing mish-mash of BS depending on whatever you decide to make up in the moment.

I won't justify any more of your imbecilic attacks on me as "maga" or "racist" when nothing could be further from the truth, so stuff any other chimp poo you feel compelled to fling back up your whazoo.

Christ, you're an idiot.

Girl, you insist on trying to argue with me about shit I never expressed an opinion on....luxury goods, something another commenter said, advertising markets, Gucci bags in Ireland, taxes in Germany, capitalism (to which I made no reference), etc. WTF is wrong with your little girl head?

Your "thinking," such as it is, is all over the map and only just barely related to anything I've written here. Going forward, please direct your attacks to the voices in your little girl's head that whisper about these issues, OK? Thanks.

Take your meds.

Hey, Asska, call me whatever you want. I'm not offended by the blatherings of moronic, insecure people like you, spoiling for an argument. I'm amused.

F**k off.

What parts of my comment didn't you comprehend? Does this sound maga?:

"For the record, Trump is a douche bag, vile in every way imaginable, I did not vote for him, and I am horrified he is in the White House."
"I acknowledge racial differences where they exist and I'm not threatened by them."

I have zero problem acknowledging a higher IQ among Asians. That said, if you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that for decades many scientists have disputed the accuracy and efficacy of IQ tests, especially regarding how they are written and administered.

Likewise, you'd know that for centuries and to this very day, racial IQ differences have been used by people like you to justify slavery, discrimination, apartheid, and many other abominations.

Stand in front of a mirror when you spew the word "bigot," bigot.

What is a "tankie?"

"offended" lol This kind of hyper-sensitivity reveals insecurity.

Did anyone above refer to the largest market for "luxury and premium goods?" I missed that part of the discussion because it doesn't exist, so I've no idea who you think you're "correcting." The issue I responded to was "spendable (disposable) income.

If you're attempting to start an argument over another issue, which you clearly are, let me stop you right here. I eagerly concede the US is not first in many economic/cultural areas. I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm not threatened. I don't care.

I will point out that the luxury goods market figures you linked to are more amusing evidence of how silly it is that China continues to refer to itself as "Communist." lol Girl, please.

For the record, Trump is a douche bag, vile in every way imaginable, I did not vote for him, and I am horrified he is in the White House.

I too love China standing up to Trump's BS. And I am well aware of the areas in which they are surpassing the US and the West in a lot of tech areas. I loathe Zuckerburg, Bezos, Musk, and the other fascist billionaires based in the US. That said, don't kid yourself, China has plenty of its own billionaire oligarchs who are profiting off the backs of the middle class/poor, just as in the US. This is part of why I laugh whenever someone refers to China as "Communist." lol It's Communist in name only.

I'd love to mock you for your "racist" IQ and discipline remarks, but I'm not SJW or PC enough to care. Unlike a lot of Progressives, I acknowledge racial differences where they exist and I'm not threatened by them. I 100% pure Germanic descent, so I know all about racial theories of supremacy (Adolf Hitler).

My comment was only intended to point out the absurdity of the above statement regarding China being the largest market, disposable income-wise.

China is no more "communist" than the US, hasn't been for a long time.
