I'm not trying to get stabbed in the neck. You should consider this risk too.
What country do you live in?!
I live a country where metal can be sharpened and I assume you do too
So I'm guessing america, Sweden or UK, based on the knife comment. Or maybe a third world country (that isn't america), but I don't think so.
I do. I live in a first world country, where people don't fear speaking their minds. Or having to fear getting stabbed for that matter...
I have read this braindead take a thousand times at least. There is no country on Earth without random violence.
I never claimed that. Saying that ignores the amount of times it happens in a given country. Per capita.
What country are you from then?
Probably Denmark considering the name and one comment they made referring to Denmark.
I feel sorry for them.
Neither Sweden or the UK have that many knife related deaths (I couldn't find any good non death statistics).
Probably a city in America, crazies live out here.

Seriously, why do high population centers in the western world have so many mentally unstable people and/or tweakers?
Low population areas do to. But you don't have public transit so as long as you don't wander into their meth labs you never have to meet them.
Those type of people exist everywhere.
Lots of people.
Small town crazy is different. Small town crazy everyone knows who the lunatic is and avoids them or they don’t know and one day several people disappear or someone is kidnapped or something. Small town crazy scares the shit out of me.
Small town crazy is more like the sheriff knows you beat the shit out of your wife and kids but ignores it as long as nobody ends up in the hospital.
If rural crime was reported accurately, it would be very clear where the most dangerous places per capita are.
Because those places have actual free media which report these kinds of issues.
Crazies live everywhere bro
But the crazies tend to get better help in other countries. Free healthcare and all.
Hey we have free healthcare in Canada and our waitlists are so laughable you may as well just join the crazies.
The system here isn't perfect either. But it is clearly a lot better than in many other places.
That’s if they want help at all.
Free my ass. Tax payer funded. If you're going to support something, at least be honest about it.
Nothing in life is free. I guess we should just get rid of the word. Who doesn't know that "free healthcare" is paid with taxes? I obviously mean no unexpected bills or denied healthcare. Nobody has to chose between food or medication. Obviously...
Do you also comment about the word literally and figuratively being synonyms?
Literally, it's an important point that seems to be lost on many that believe if we just tax the top 10% (who pay 90% of total tax revenue) even more, we can fix all our problems. Every country with socialized healthcare requires every citizen to pay a significant tax to cover the cost. If people are not willing to pay for it, they shouldn't be advocating for it. But first they have to be educated on the reality of the cost. So yeah, stop saying free because many have no clue.
Not just America. I saw this on the DB to Strasbourg, drunk middle aged woman spitting vile at each person who passed her.
You really wanna handle that?
The only time I've seen actual violence on public transit was in Germany, fwiw
Same for me
I'm not in the game of tempting fate
