A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)

What a tool. Smoking should be banned, yes. I do agree with that. And I'm leaving US soon enough, don't worry lol. But if your response to criticism is "hurr durr leave US", there's no point in arguing with a meathead like you.
Drunk driving IS ILLEGAL. It's a by product of US's car centric lifestyle. That should also be addressed. Also, you talked about diseases. Like bitch, everyone IS trying to abolish them. It's just hard. What a dumb motherfucker you are.
Yeah, a bit farther down he posted that anyone who is against guns hates men (even if they themselves are men as well).
So apparently, his whole ego and masculinity are built on himself shooting guns.
It's sad, really.
👏👏👏👏 Great retort there. Just ban anything that might hurt people. Bye guns, bye cars, bye tools, bye drugs, bye smokes, bye pets, bye sugar, bye bacon, etc, etc, etc. Just your standard leftist argument for people to have nothing and be happy about it.
You're just another average leftist. Blame guns instead of criminals. Blame cars instead of drunk drivers. Anything to punish innocent Americans instead of actual criminals.
Dude could give you fact after fact after fact and all you can say is "hurr durr, US is bad".
Leave faster. 🖕
What fact? Data literally shows that US is the least safe of all Western countries. And I'm saying Western countries because there's no point in comparing with poorer countries, they have other problems. And I'm not saying banning any of those stuff is good, you moron.
Guns should be regulated heavily, cars should not be needed by anyone and everyone, who said anything about tools? Drugs are already regulated. Smokes too, every country is trying to abolish it. And I'm not totally against all drugs. I actually think weed should be legalized, as it seems to be much safer than cigarettes and not at all worthy of a ban. Pets are nice. I love sugar, and bacon.
You don't know anything about me, internet stranger. It's clear to me that you prefer to make enemies out of everyone who disagrees with you. I wish people like you had a chance to be better.
