American exceptionalism refers to the primarily used meaning of exceptional as "unusually good." I never remotely said that.
America is different, not better. I'd also argue that you can't compare Germany to Spain. Does that mean I think Germany is better?
You also didn't answer my argument. Can you point to another country with comparable history, demography, economy, and culture that has passed a gun ban. Or should I just go ahead and hand over my gun, based on your unsupported fears?
- jarek 14y ago> American exceptionalism refers to the primarily used meaning of exceptional as "unusually good." I am aware. It's fun to use terms outside of their usual meanings sometimes. I am not supporting a gun ban in the U.S. I'm asking what y'all wish to do about your crime rate.
