You're right, a riot where 4 people are killed is indicative of the country being stuck in the Middle Ages. Likewise, Brevik and the Aurora shooter killed 20x this, each; must mean that Norway and the US are stuck in the Mesolithic era.

- w1ntermute 14y agoOh please, the incidents in Norway and America are very rare occurrences compared to the daily violence in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq.
- mindstab 14y agoMaybe Norway, but are you kidding about America? There are tons of shootings in America all the time. Not all are big mass mutli killings. That's how you know there's a problem, merely 4 people dying probably wouldn't even make the news. There was recently that one where some white supremicist stormed a sikh temple and shot people. That's just the most recent one in my memory, wasn't that a few weeks ago.
- w1ntermute 14y agoHyperbole doesn't help anyone. Sure, America is a lot more violent than Western Europe, but both America and Western Europe are so much less violent than a veritable warzone like Afghanistan that even trying to claim otherwise doesn't achieve anything productive.
- mmanfrin 14y agoThat's because Afghanistan was a warzone and still is; but to make snide aspersions as to where these nations are 'stuck' based off of acts of wanton violence is wrong and belies a blind hypocrisy.
