The US was liberated by thr help of France. If they didn't enter world War 2 you would also be speaking German now.
The French were the difference between the Allies winning and losing?
The French entered WWII? On what date?
Dude I love this country and I would fight for it, but most Americans live worse than their counter parts in many industrial countries.
Cool story!
Can you show our median income vs. the median income of your "many industrial countries"?
Not entirely fair since income does not matter that much if you have things like free public heath care, reasonable housing, subsidized food, etc.
We likely have more homelessness, unemployment, etc., than most countries.
We for sure have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.
We are not even very good at literacy, infant mortality, or life span.

Homelessness......maybe. Ending institutionalization wasn't such a good idea.
Unemployment...... what are you talking about?
We for sure have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.
What are we supposed to do with our criminals?
Letting them run free wouldn't help most Americans live better.
We are not even very good at literacy, infant mortality, or life span.
Not like Cuba, eh?
You probably haven't visited thr likes of Norway, Denmark, Germany, Japan and even France. Very happy population hardly any homeless, healthy individuals, great infrastructure, 5 to 6 weeks vacation a year, easy and cheaper access to higher education, no one goes bankrupt if they have to go to the hospital,
Dude the minute you exit the airport you see the contrast.
You probably haven't visited thr likes of Norway, Denmark, Germany, Japan and even France.
So what are their median incomes?
Maybe their after-tax incomes?
Very happy population
Smaller homes, fewer, smaller cars, lower standards of living.

Norway 51k
Denmark 43k
Germany 48k
Again it doesn't tell the whole story, most Europeans have better quality life than Americans. Thry rank better than Americans in education, health, happiness, life expectancy, etc...
Dude apart from some nice areas in big cities most homes in the US are old and beat up. Houses in Tennessee and Ohio that go for 40 to 50k where most people live. As far as cars, you don't need it in Europe they have a good transportation systems.
Norway 51k
How much of their GDP is state owned oil?
Dude apart from some nice areas in big cities most homes in the US are old and beat up.
Lots of brand new homes in Norway, Denmark and Germany?
How does square footage compare?
As far as cars, you don't need it in Europe they have a good transportation systems.
Plus, gas is what, triple what we pay? More?
One of the biggest positives is that you can go to the shops without being shot and send your kids to school without them being slaughtered.
You focus on the material and that seems to be a conservative trait. Quality of life cannot be measured by just one metric.
Not in majority Muslim areas and remind us having your head hacked off is better then being shot.
Yes , the whole European experience can be summed up by one awful incident a decade ago. Can you dress yourself in the morning you fuckwit ?
one incident I guess all the attacks in France and Belgium and Germany never happened right? No no go zones in all European Countries right boob?
Name these no go zones ? I used to work in one that fox news described as such. The fact is that all of the countries you named are safer than the US. Stats dont lie but gun nuts do.
No, actually, they are not.......outside of democrat party controlled cities, the U.S. is as safe or safer than European countries, and the European countries are growing more and more dangerous each year.....as the 3rd world immigrants take control of organized crime.......
For England and Wales, we added together three crime categories: "violence against the person, with injury," "most serious sexual crime," and "robbery." This produced a rate of 775 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
For the United States, we used the FBI’s four standard categories for violent crime that Bier cited. We came up with a rate of 383 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
The debate over gun policy has inspired a blizzard of messages on social media, from both supporters and opponents of gu

And when you talk about gun violence, the majority of gun murder victims...over 70-80% of the victims, are not normal Americans.....they are criminals, murdered by other criminals in democrat party controlled cities.....and of the rest, the vast majority of gun murder victims are the friends and family...and sadly children, of career criminals and gang members murdered when they are caught in the murder attempt on the actual criminal....
As John Nolte puts it over at Breitbart....in MAGA country, we have guns, we just don't have gun crime....but in blue states and blue cities, they have almost all of the gun murder.....
You don't understand America Tommy, and you will understand gun violence, it is coming to Britain and the rest of Europe...
I'm so glad I didn't grow up as a kid in thr US, we had 0 fear of getting kidnapped, shot or molested unlike most American kids....you won't know what I'm talking about, you grew up in a very Hostile and tough environment, that you need a gun to feel safe.
2015, there were 13 723 nonfatal and 2762 fatal firearm injuries in children and adolescents <20 years of age in the United States.
1 Deaths from firearms now rank among the top 3 causes of death in the pediatric population.
1–
3 In previous research, it has been identified that male sex, nonwhite race, low median income, and older adolescent age are risk factors for sustaining both fatal and nonfatal firearm injuries
2,
4–
10; these data, however, are largely driven by firearm assaults in urban settings. In 2 previous studies, it has been demonstrated that fatality rates due to firearms for urban and rural counties are essentially equivalent both in the overall population and specifically in children and adolescents.
11,
12 Rural and urban differences have been noted regarding the cause of injury or death, with suicide and unintentional firearm deaths occurring at a higher rate in rural counties and deaths from firearm homicide occurring at a higher rate in urban counties.

In this study, we compare rates of hospitalizations for firearm injuries in children and adolescents between rural and urban areas of the United States.

See.......that link you have is bullshit....do you know why it is bullshit....?
This little bit right here....
fatal firearm injuries in children and adolescents <20 years of age in the United States.
At what point is a 15 year old gang member a regular child?
At what point is a 17,18,19 year old considered a "Child?"
They use the <20 because so few actual children die from accidental and gun murder....they have to use "under 20" so they can roll in the 15 year old gang members who are shooting each other on the orders of their gangs as part of that number.....you dumb asshole......
What is it with you gun grabbers...you always have to lie to push your agenda....
From Wisqars...the actual CDC data for children <1 to 14...I use this age range to exclude 15 year old gang members...of course, there are younger gang members shooting people, but this is a good start...
Out of 72 million children in the U.S....how many actual innocent children are murdered with guns?
For 2019....
269...
So tell us.....doofus....how does 269 out of 72 million children make guns a leading cause of death...?
Then we have accidental gun deaths of children by gun.....
51.
Again...how does 51 accidental gun deaths out of 72 million equal a leading cause of death...
You anti-gunners lie every time you post data because the actual data doesn't support anything you believe...
100 children a year die on their bicycles.........51 from gun accidents....
300 children die drowning......51 from gun accidents...
You are an idiot....
Lol thr whole entire US and thr world know that we have a gun issue, we thr ones that lived outside and the US tell you that, stats tell you that, the daily news tell you that but you are still in denial.
Just this past week along multiple mass shootings and dead people, criminals or not. Way too many dead people. .
You don't know what you are talking about...our issue isn't guns....since our gun murder rate went down 49% and our gun crime rate went down 75% as more Americans bought, owned and carried guns...
What you assholes don't understand is that the democrat party and it's policies drive our gun murder rate...the democrat party judges and prosecutors keep releasing violent gun offenders.....you idiot.
You don't know better. You are accustomed to fear, guns, paranoia you have 0 clue about how safe it is without the culture of gun it is in most countries. Dude kids in preschools have to do drills about an active shooter And you blaming the democrats ? Seriously?
Funny how the murder rate in the county I live has been ZERO for the past 10 years.
And like I said you have a 99.997% chance of NOT being murdered by a person using a gun if that .003% chance scares you then you really have a problem
Since I remember us overseas always shook our heads in disbelief about the amount of gun violence fast forward still the same tragedy...and we always said "they are idiots out there they still think is the wild wide west" I guess that saying is true and you don't care as long as its far from where you live.
I really don't care what other countries or the people who live in other countries think about the US.
And people in other countries don't seem to realize the wild west wasn't so wild and that most Americans have only ever seen a cowboy on a TV or movie screen.
And I'll admit that I really don't care about the crime in other places because unlike you I;m honest about it.
People that own guns legally are not the problem
I agree gun owners are not the problem, unless if there is a road rage, family, dispute, neighbour dispute, work dispute, school shootings and so much more. Most countries people don't get killed as easy because there are no guns or is super hard to get one.
1.1 million times a year Americans use their legal guns to stop rapes, robberies and murders.
In other countries, those victims just have to sit there and endure the rapes, robberies and murders.....
10,235 gun murders in U.S. in 2019.
0ver 70-80% of our gun murder victims aren't normal Americans...they are criminals engaged in criminal activity, in democrat party controlled cities and voting districts.
Of the rest of the victims, the majority are friends and family of the criminals who are hit when their criminal friend or family member is targeted for murder, in democrat party cities and voting districts.
So we don't have a gun problem, we have a criminal problem.
1.1 million rapes, robberies and murders are avoided with guns........... versus 10,235 gun murders, the majority of which are criminals......
If you aren't a criminal...
If you aren't the friend, family member or associate of a criminal
If you don't live with that criminal in a democrat party controlled city or voting district
Then the odds of you ever experiencing gun crime or murder are smaller than in Europe.....
We have lots of guns in MAGA states and cities...we just don't use them to commit murder or crime.
As the below charts show, Democratic areas (measured by the party that controls the congressional district) are far more likely to experience almost all forms of malicious gun violence than Republican areas.
These charts exclude suicides, for which data are not available on a congressional district basis, so it only breaks down the fraction of gun violence that is accidental or confrontational.
--------
A distinct pattern emerged: In Democratic regions of the country, which tend to be cities, people are more likely to be murdered with a gun than they are to shoot themselves to death.
In regions of the country won by Republicans, which tend to be rural areas and small towns, the opposite is true — people are more likely to shoot themselves to death than they are to be murdered with a gun.
----
In the most Democratic regions, gun violence is more often committed against another, crimes that probably generate more news coverage and fear. In the most Republican areas, it is more often committed against oneself, suicides that may not attract as much attention.
