This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

To be clear... you're afraid to talk to people because guns exist? If this is true, you may need to speak to someone about this professionally.

Sort of reductive.

Violence is bad in America. People feel it appropriate to start arguments about politics in public with strangers. Those people are allowed to have guns on them and in their cars. An angry person with a gun on their hip is just different.

Thats just as a man too, women deal with worse, and I would argue even have a reason to need a gun themselves in some situations.

Its violent all around here and it comes from regular ass people, like your neighbors.

Dude get off the Internet, real life is not full of violent strangers looking to start arguments. Go outdoors, meet some people, enjoy a nice hobby with them and stop watching internet ragebait

Not what I said but sorry I scared you.

Actually, yeah, if you try to talk to someone's girlfriend in the wrong place you probably won't get shot, but you would be in pretty big danger. Violence is extremely prevalent in the u.s.

All I said was that a gun in the room makes everything a little more tense and maybe we should just see how banning them for a year goes and instead of telling why it wouldn't work you took that as a chance to come at the dude online. What I said just sounds like common sense. But yeah maybe I need to talk to someone and def not the guy targeting people. What a terrible comment.
