What bullshit is Australian pulling here?

US marked as safe but the UK is not?

Haven't been to London lately right? 200 odd acid attacks alone last year and who knows how many stabbings. It's a war zone

You should come to grips with the up-to-6-mass-shootings-per-day America has going on and remind yourself that acid is horrific but knives and acid compared guns is a little different.

  • getting into a car
  • being 30 feet away
  • being behind a door

All these things are different if you're against a knife vs a gun.

For example, a recent katana attack in my country was foiled when victims ... kept 6 feet away until the dude was tased to shit by the popo.

So yeah, 200-odd acid attacks were terrible to the victims; definitely, before we look at commonalities of acid attacks. But gunplay nearby is a different thing for everyone within like a half-mile.

I'm not from the US and I'm familiar with how guns work but thanks for explaining.

Having lived there I can say London really is a war zone these days.

The UK government itself thinks a terrorist attack is likely, that's why. It's probably the same for the other yellow countries in Europe.

Not enough venomous creatures.

Laos and Cambodia are safe but Germany is not? Right. Those cunts had a few Foster's too many.

Right?? Maybe pickpockets if you go to a touristy part of London?
