Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Nothing can be done, says only nation where this happens regularly.
If there are no sharks, there are no shark fatalities.
It's not the only nation where this happens regularly.
Yes, well done. The US is behind Iraq and Zimbabwe so of course nothing needs to be done in the US until those countries sort their shit out
I've literally said this isn't the only nation this happens regularly and now you're moving the goalposts rather than admitting they were wrong.
You shifted the goal post by making it about not being at the bottom of a list instead of the sensible assumed goal of striving for being the best.
Changing the goalpost and claiming someone else moved the goalpost is a debating tactic of someone who knows they're wrong.
No. I said my rebuttal then gave evidence to support it.
But is that evidence without doubt ?
It's objective fact.
If you think the United States is "the only nation where this regularly happens" then you are objectively wrong. It's literally quoting an onion article. Lol.
It doesn't matter who upvotes you, but a lot of you people don't get that.
Where else does this happen regularly?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
I feel slightly bad for some of these island nations, where 1 person was murdered in Saint Pierre in 2009 and so they're listed 24th in intentional homicide rates.
Just keep ignoring everything that goes against what you read on the onion.
Are you a bot? Your answer has no relation to what I said.
It's completely related, you just don't like to hear it so you're pretending it doesn't make sense.
Well... at least this reply corresponded to my comment in some way. Maybe you're just a goober.
Maybe I'm correct and you're just trying to fit in with people who are wrong.
Yeah... that's probably it.
For the record, the statement is about mass shootings, not homicides.
