Maybe, but there are many other things that are “only in merika”. Sometimes you have to take some bad with the good...you know, the whole balance between safety and liberty?
This country has its faults for sure, but it also has its benefits. For me, those benefits outweigh the faults and exceed those provided in any other nation. But that’s just me; other people may have a different perspective.
Not disagreeing but I have to ask...do you think if one of the victims parents felt the same way you did 48 hours ago they're still feeling the same now?
Taking the good and the bad sounds great until the bad calls you at work with the news.
There is no single solution to the problem. Look up a 100-ish year old school incident in a little town called Bath, Michigan and you'll see crazy inflicting rage on schools was happening long before PC culture was even a thing.
But the root is always the same..men...just kidding...anger.
What makes all these people angry?
Disenfranchisement from society for not fitting in perhaps?
PC at its core was intended to disuede people from holding other's differences in a negative light. Sadly, we see it abused far too often as a crutch for people who can't make it on the merits of their abilities. Playing the race card, etc.
I'm a very open minded person in a hobby that *seems* flooded with closed-minded bigoted redneckery. A trip over to JKOwner's casual shoot the shit corner will give you an idea of just how out of whack people can be.
My feelings: I don't care if you're gay, just got off the plane from some hellhole land on the other side of the planet where you are required to wear an unusual looking hat, or even if you don't believe in any religion or take religion way more seriously than I do. If you're cool, I'll hang with you because in the end, we are all the same (damn hippie).
Think the Jeep community as a whole feels the same way? Non-sarcastic question.
If people would appreciate differences instead of condemning them, then we'd all be less defensive because we wouldn't all feel under attack for being who we are maybe just lighten up instead of lashing out in a vengeful swan song of mass murder that no one is really going to recall a few years from now.
