   Hug of death probably so I cannot read the article. Anyway that's the reason why I don't buy Chinese crap anymore. I'm not saying that I don't buy anything made in China, almost everything is made in China, but everyone

   I guess it is about different implementations of some not properly formalized parts of the JSON spec. There was also an article here some time ago but I cannot find it right now.

   How can "firing 30+ rounds on a Sunday morning in a residential area" be an accident? It is like saying that driving a truck on a crowded street on LSD and killing somebody is an accident.

   Thanks a lot again for taking the time to fuel this discussion! After reading and rereading all comments here I'll try to generalize those findings. Once the number of weapons starts growing without proper control you hit a first thres

   I totally agree that reducing weapons around should reduce weapon related violence, and also weapon related anything. But why does a gun in the US kill more than that same gun in almost any developed county by an N factor? Is this also a cu

   Thanks! Even if gun obsession is a cultural thing, how that translates to gun violence? And to gun recklessness?

    I don't think the point is about how many people actually perform military duty, but about how the US military culture works in practice. Switzerland for example has a heavily compulsory military duty but IMHO a less violent, less patr

    Thanks, even if anecdotal it is a really good point. The US military is something that highly differentiate them from almost if not all other developed countries. That's one of the best answers I got this far from under my comment, you

    So in your opinion the US are a more violent society than most around the developed world?

    So how comes that "lots of assault rifles lying around" mean nothing in Switzerland but mean mass shootings and random firing in the backyard in the US?

    And why do US citizens like to kill and be killed by gunfire? It's not only because of lots of weapons.

    Stocks and currencies don’t behave the same, currencies in the long term are bearish. Anyway if you think about bulls and bears you are not thinking of currencies, you better put your money into more volatile markets. A bullish currency is

    So how is it that we read articles like this one? Shouldn’t the state intervene to keep counties and towns at bay? For what I read around it is unusual, and mostly when something really bad happens and/or hit the news. If the state is

    by 01acheru 5y ago

    Thanks for this explanation :) The state part is something I quite got already from popular culture, but is there something similar also inside a state? I mean, counties can do the same “fuck you” with the state and towns can do the same wi

    I understand what you say, but a tiny Alabama town is just… a tiny Alabama town. I totally get that things change from state to state, that some states are huge. But from tiny town to tiny town?

    Thanks a lot for this exposure! Anyway I feel there is something missing and I cannot exactly say what it is. Maybe it is simply something cultural that is not so easily graspable from those living somewhere else, it always feels so strange

    Yeah this is something I know and understand, I also appreciate this line of thought. What I don’t understand is about police in particular, if police is “law enforcement”. I’d expect some laws to be national, then some laws to be state, th

    Can someone please explain something to me? How is it that in the US the police is such a deregulated entity? Almost anywhere I’ve been in the world the police worked the same nation or state wide, maybe the local police department of town
