I'm new to Lemmy, and trying to get a gauge on the community. Unfortunately, it seems that it's just gonna be another heavily left wing website, but hoping that the smaller pockets of users will be reasonable.

What are the issues that the Conservative community here cars about most?

“Extremely small” is an inherently subjective view of the statistics. Basing your entire argument off of something subjective generally isn’t wise.

I didn't it, once again your reading comprehension could do some work. I said that she should be more fearful of dying in a car wreck.

Saying something is a small chance to happen is subjective, you're right. Saying it's more likely that she dies in a car wreck is objective.

That doesn’t matter though because school isn’t the only place that children are getting shot to death at

In the scenario that the daughter is scared to go to school because of school shootings, yes that's what we are discussing.

, because firearms being the number one death of children is the reason why children are scared for their life in this fucked up country. It’s directly related.

We're only talking about school shootings. If you want to talk about all shootings create your own thread

No, it's wrong. Children are getting shot and killed by firearms more than they are dying from car crashes.

In the scenario that the daughter is scared to go to school because of school shootings, yes that’s what we are discussing.

School shootings aren't the only way children are getting shot and killed though, so limiting the discussion to just that aspect is disingenuous.

We’re only talking about school shootings.

You are. I'm talking about ALL the various ways our children are mercilessly shot to death, meanwhile our country refuses to do anything about it.

If you want to talk about all shootings create your own thread

I'm good

No, it’s wrong.

It's objectively correct.

Children are getting shot and killed by firearms more than they are dying from car crashes.

That's not what we're talking about. It may be what you want to talk about, but then start a conversation on a different post or different chain.

You are. I’m talking about

I don't give a shit what you want to talk about. You replied to my comment.
