“ in the USA is individuals have rights” … to ignore environmental protection, to buy guns with minimal checks, to be bankrupted by hospital charges, to be sacked without just cause. Thank heavens I live in Socialist Europe.
I don't think you will convince the OP @BenCotto - the UK is obviously a nanny state and the US has everything under control and is obviously a world leader on everything that matters in today's world. Oh, hang on a minute........
'When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.' Georgia O'keeffe.
I wonder what she would have said to her fellow Americans if she were here today.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
The only people with guns in UK are the bad guys. Way more home robbery in UK vs USA. I grew up in UK in full blown socialism. Paid 66% income tax in 1984 as a sales rep for Xerox making about 20k ukp. Clearly we need sone controls and the USA has controls but they trust individual responsibility. Shall we ban cars because people die ? There are more deaths from substance abuse than guns. There are more deaths from clubs than rifles.
How many children are killed from drug overdose. fentanyl ? In the USA 2020 according to the cdc 900k deaths from overdose , 90k from fentanyl. UK probably similar. So let's take fentanyl, smuggled across an open border. 2k death per week. Way more than guns but do we hear 1 word from liberal news.
