Not to us burgerland citizens! πΊπ²πΊπ²π¦ π¦ π₯π₯
Massive trucks that increase fatalities. Bald eagles that are endangered because of Americans, and sound like red tailed Hawks for some reason. Fireworks that are more heavily regulated than guns.
I love Americans but your country is run like a ball of yarn in a box of cats.
Bald eagles aren't endangered anymore.
Plus being American and having lived abroad every country has their bullshit. You just hear about America's shit because it has the most popular forms of mass media.
Dumbasses are plentiful everywhere
I don't like all Americans and you are the kind I don't. You're an idiot. I was going to say imbecile but I doubt you know what that means.
This will surely keep me up at night.
Didn't know saying no country is perfect was such a controversial statement
Getting irrationally defensive over facts is the part no one likes. Large trucks kill people at a higher rate. Fact. Bald eagle is still endangered. Red tailed hawk which is the bird that makes the actual sound, endangered. Many states in the us regulate fireworks harder than guns. Acknowledge your faults.
The bald eagle's comeback has been a strong one β a testament to the power of the Endangered Species Act. Leading up to the delisting of the eagle on August 8, 2007, the Center released a web report detailing, state by state, the most comprehensive and current population trends of bald eagle breeding pairs. Our report generated hundreds of articles about the eagle in newspapers across the country
No one was denying anything.... all I said was essentially no country is perfect. A pretty level headed response in my opinion
You said BALD EAGLES are endangered. They're not. They're not dieing anymore. Their numbers are healthy. Bringing up global warming is YOU not being able to admit you're wrong. No one denied anything about gun laws or traffic deaths from trucks which is why I said no country is perfect. Which again is a pretty nuanced response
Welcome to Lemmy. Enjoy your stay.
~~The most American statement ever :D~~
Edit: I am taking it back and admitting defeat. America != US. I am ashamed.
