    Accessible healthcare and freedom from gun crime is SUCH a burden. Dodged the bullet there; proverbially, of course, as bullets are more an American thing.

        Yeah just because you lot can’t make tea. I get it, it’s hard, it’s boiling water on leaves, it’s like two whole steps.

      Last time I was in London there was a shooting near Tower bridge

      Since you guys want to be assholes about it, here’s some data to back up the fact that you have a fairly substantial amount of gun crime

        Remind me of the date and I’ll tell you where the 1-7 daily mass shootings in America were for that day.

          Wasn’t suggesting we don’t have gun violence. Merely correcting your statement of “freedom from gun crime”

        Ah yes, that singular anecdote definitely cancels out the actual statistics on the subject.

          Anyway everyone knows London doesn’t count as part of the UK.

        I’ll bet that every single place named Tower Bridge in the USA has had a shooting incident. Probably in the last year.

          Yup, you’re probably right. I was arguing the wording, not the numbers.

      I agree. Getting stabbed by a gang of children is definitely better.

        For every case, it’s easier to flee X number of kids with knives vs X number of kids with guns.

        The “oh knives aren’t safe either so toss the entire argument” has always been a bit of a sad joke.

        The US also has a higher rate of stabbings per capita than the UK though.
