The Dutch perhaps spend more on video games yet we have a LOT less gun violence 🇺🇸

I wonder why... 🔫 ❌ 🇳🇱

@stux

Thats like saying "The dutch banned vaccines, therefore we have a lot fewer vaccine deaths, I wonder why"

I mean of course you do, that doesnt make it a win anymore than eliminating vaccines would be a win.

@freemo What...

Yes, bananas are wheels for computers! I see

@stux

Not sure how you are confused.. when you make something illegal that is used to save your life when someone is trying to kill you with a knife, it isnt a win that you eliminated gun deaths and replaced them with being killed by other means.

Much as when making vaccines illegal you effectively will eliminate all deaths via vaccine, but now replace those deaths with even more deaths from the virus itself.

Same thing, not sure why that concept would confuse you.

inb4 be sure if you use numbers you compare netherlands to itself both before and after a change. Any other comparison would be dishonest due to confounding.

@freemo Sorry but you don't get it.. like at all so im gonna stop wasting my time sorry ❤️

It's okay

@stux It seems to be you who doesnt get it, but your always welcome to disengage.

@freemo Okay! :blobcathighfive:

Your in the country with endless gun deaths but im the one who doesn't get it 😉

Thats what i mean haha

@stux I am also in the country that when the Israli mob was trying to murder me I was allowed to arm myself and ensure I stayed alive... I am in the country that didnt insist I let someone kill me just because it cares more about replacing one gun death with 10 knife deaths and calling that a win.

@freemo @stux Ironically, a similar provision was made for the Jews when Haman obtained a decree allowing their extermination. Esther 8

"By these letters the king permitted the Jews in each and every city the right to assemble and defend themselves, to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province hostile to them, including women and children, and to plunder their possessions. The single day appointed throughout all the provinces of King Xerxes was the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar."

The decree to allow their extermination could not be revoked. But the additional decree gave official permission for the Jews to arm and defend themselves.
