I wouldn’t mix this with left or right. I’m far away from political agendas talking about differences between continents.
Europe is much worse with liberal and leftist ideas (that’s why I so easily agreed to move to USA), but the level of violence is different.
We do have a historical path living with firearms. Europe does not. Even weapons dictated how European civilization looks like… somehow became officially non available for civilians. Is it good? Impossible to find out. 50% will say yes, 50% say no. Me as a European born I’d would say yes. I spent over 35 years of my life there without single firearm related encounter that would harm me, my Family or people who I knew.
Once moved to USA everything changed. I tried several years living European way… I would say successfully… till the single incident that was a typical “everyday violent encounter with deadly weapon” .
Yes… Typical here. Whole my Family was shocked that something like this can happened… nobody here (my coworkers, LEOs, EMS) was surprised… Like I said … another attack that happens all the time.
So now you can see how I do see things which differ between USA and Europe.
Devils advocate here:
Do you see any cultural differences between the different races, read colors, of people. Cultural differences that may not align with one another? Cultural differences that in fact can not comfortably exist next to each other?
I agree that would happen, but what I’m saying is, if we were invaded then every ethnicity would come together as a whole to defend our planet. Yes, there would be snakes and rats among us, but like you said that is simply the history of our planet. I wasn’t actually speaking as to every individual on our planet but more so to the vast majority of ethnic groups on our planet.
The point is that all Muslims don’t agree with that any more than all Christians, Protestants, Catholics, Baptist, 7th day Adventists, all see eye to eye on their practices. There are different types of Muslims from different schools of thought. For example, Shiite Muslims have a very different view of things than Sunni Muslims. Each different branch follows the teachings and beliefs of different leaders and what those leader’s beliefs are.
There are in my opinion some that would be difficult to co-exist but that is where compromise comes into play. I don’t have to live and your house and like everything you do to respect you as another person and treat you with dignity and love. People need to stop pushing their beliefs and ways on other people to do that though.
Look my Brother, I hear you loud and clear.
I wish it were so that we could all stand in a circle and sing Kumbaya together
That’s NOT snark or sarcasm that’s TRUTH.
I’m not going to go line by line with your post or the next one explaining my beliefs
but suffice it to say a lot of the people we are talking about have tried to kill me and my Brothers.
I am NOT talking about peaceful Men, Women and Children that all over the world are just trying to make a better life for themselves in an often Harsh, Brutal, Dangerous Environment.
But splitting hairs will not solve the current crisis we are talking about here.
I’m not a brutal, take no prisoners’ kind of guy but I am a realist. What we see today
and are talking about is Crimes against Humanity and Women in particular here.
This is not a judgement on an entire race or gender or… whatever.
The Migrant, Muslim, Invader comes in many colors, shapes and religions
It’s the Brutal, FANATICAL people I am talking about and always say same same here.
If you are a Fanatic, Hellbent on destroying anyone who doesn’t read YOUR Book or Sacrifice yourself to YOUR God I have nothing for YOU except a Bullet. If they want to Rampage all over Europe and here there will be some push back. The UK is now run by a Muslim and they are OVER RUN now and getting worse. Many countries that have ‘Accepted’ all this Socialist/Marxist Muslim agenda are going to have a real problem if they try that sh** here. We still have our Freedoms and Rights, This Country is being ATTACKED on every front by enemies Foreign and especially Domestic. This will not last.
The Uprising is coming Christopher. Not a weak version of J6. But a true shift of the pendulum back to REALITY. American’s are seeing w/ their own eyes the attempts of the Elites to do a Power shift that would destroy all the work our Founding Fathers gave their lives to set up. It’s over for them and they know it. That is why the push to give the migrants everything, Repartitions, DEI and on and on will fail.
So, in answering what you said. It will get better for all of us once the dust settles, we as a people will come together. But with the Usurpers now in power this will not happen. The Divider-in-thief doesn’t want us to be TOGETHER. They want Chaos, Blood in the Streets, Brother against brother—WE DON’T
There are 400 MILLION Guns in the hands of Americans today. They are not all gunners, some are people who own a firearm and chances are they don’t train. But the tide is turning and the enemy feel it and that is why they are acting out against their own citizens.
We need a …Policy change and we will right this ship. But we will not be able to come together like you wish w/ some stirrers spouting White People need to pay for their Crimes (of the past) or White people have taken over our Music (that’s just stupid) or White, Maga’s, are all Nationalists, supremacists
etc. How can we come together when these angry, thieves, and self serving wretched people are in power? You can’t STEAL from the people’s Treasury and then claim RACISM when you are caught. Look around Christopher. When these Demoncrat’s who are in blue cities are ALL getting caught stealing, Lying and Cheating they claim RACISM. That dog don’t hunt and even their own SEE IT!
If you wish to DESTROY a Political Opponent BEFORE an Election (and expose their evil shenanigan’s)
That won’t fly anymore either.
WE NEEDTO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK RAPIDLY!
and before anybody tries to start anything this is without the often ridiculous claims Civil War!
We need an administrative change and a thorough House cleaning. None of these people are FOR US!
They are out to enrich themselves and force their warped agenda’s on us. Billionaires have Bought our Government and until that changes there will be no singing around the camp fire.
I don’t see most religions as being so different in what they do. Most religions have committed horrific atrocities on people in the names of their Gods. Has anyone of you ever been to Vatican City and seen the absolutely ridiculous wealth of gold and artifacts there that have been pillaged from around the world from all the murder and genocide the Popes have committed on various people and nations throughout history? If you’ve never been I can tell you it is incredibly mind boggling. I say this not to put Catholicism on blast but to point out that these religions are not so different as some would have you believe. There have been other religions throughout our history that have been just as brutal and violent as some Muslims and some Christians.
Yeah.. and that is the point.
If you live in one place you don’t see all the details that matter. Even thinking is different.
You really need to spend long time in two places to see how they differ from each other.
I won’t be more clear, I don’t want to share all the details what made me change my thinking about crimes here (it still hurts and probably will never stop).
Fist fight is never the same as fight with deadly weapon. It’s very hard to explain, especially to people who live in the same Country all the time. It is easy to be prepared for a fist fight and survive it, but it is not so easy to survive deadly weapon attack. And this is the difference.
We started this thread with information that 5 women were murdered in 24 hr in Vienna. This is really non common in Europe.
But if you look in statistics in US cities… 5 dead people in 24 hrs in single City is nothing unusual.
I don’t see any news here saying “shooting in Chicago”… and few days later I see Police statistics “10 people dead after shooting last weekend”… yeap.. nothing unusual. Like I said - everyday life in US City, but big deal in European City.
Christopher, You cannot compromise with a fanatical people that say if you do not believe in the Koran or the Prophet you are an INFIDEL and ALL INFIDELS must die! and their belief’s are I must PLEASE the Prophet! and in doing what I am ordered is to rid the world of ALL INFIDELS. A Muslim race is the only race and they will not be satisfied until their population is the only population. It pleases the Prophet that I must kill you and if I have to give my life in the process I will do so because Allah will REWARD me with riches and Virgins beyond imagination. Sounds like they are open to compromise to me amirite?
