....what? How do you get that from my post? I'm just answering his question about gun violence. I would kill to travel and see the world.

What the fuck is going on with this website? This place is becoming so much more toxic than Reddit ever was.

The amount of absolute nonsense I've seen Americans post about Europe is insane. I've heard that the UK is 50% Muslim. From idiots who've never been there. I've heard that France is now a caliphate, from, you guessed it, people who've never been there.

My post was an obviously exaggerated satire of the type of facebook postings that happens frequently from people who did in fact eat the onion, who will respond to people informing them that the post they're responding to is satire with "probably closer to the truth that they dont want you to see anyways"

It wasn't directed at you, I am agreeing, people do lack critical thinking. Apologies if you are actually Mark Cleetus Hamburder IV, if that is the case, pass my kind regards on to your folks.

Ah, sorry. I've just had a lot of very strange responses recently to my posts and, honestly, that was kind of on brand for what's been happening here.

I know it was cheaper to outsource the design, but you get what you pay for.

So... was a replica of Notre Dame also accidentally built where this mosque was supposed to be?
