No suggestion about superiority. I'm saying we don't know. To us, they are not known brands and I think we're now in the realms of your personal preferences vs what we know or don't know

There is a local class / status view of the Rohingya that underpins the hatred. Fueled further by social media. If a UK or similar person landed looking for relief, there is that same "status" thing that would lead to more favorable interactions. It is awful.

Modi's gang, just like the Trump administration! They accuse just because someone tries to take a balanced view whilst they want free reign to expand their extremism

Let's hope that they don't start gaining funding from international sympathizers.

The sheer stupidity of it! If it was another people they would be accepting. Hopefully they will themselves never need to run for their own lives

Perhaps we've reached the point where we have now demonstrated that you aren't able to offer solutions, just obstacles to change.

Those students should have their places revoked. Fairly simple.

Sadly, Tesla is far more expensive and produces demonstrably unreliable vehicles with demonstrably poor customer support when things go wrong.

We risk not taking this seriously. In the 1970s, the Japanese motor industry was widely mocked but rapidly moved to producing cars tat utperformed and outlasted everyone else. Like the Japanese of the 70's, the Chinese are already the leaders with electric motorcycles. It's a small step and our current key player is Elon Musk / Tesla. Not ideal.

Cult or otherwise, this is a farce in every way, but a dangerous farce nonetheless No different to how ISIS or the Nazi's operated.

The total number of blocked firearms sales in the US taken in isolation is irrelevant. The absolute firearms ownership is about 31% in some EU countries, less in others. Yet the total and proportional number of shootings and mass shootings is so completely different. Here we see that it's which proportion of the population that owns a gun. Just check, compare and contrast the actual requirements to purchase a gun within the UK or the EU with those in the US. You really don't have to work very hard to find the comparisons. The issue to hand would be that if similar requirements were applied in the US, the number of people declined a firearm would likely double, but also, those in lawful possession would need to give up their firearms. The definition, the checks undertaken and the ongoing assessme for responsible gun ownership is different in the UK and the EU.

The difference is not the gun ownership rates, it's the lack of effective check, measures and training. Quite literally, any idiot can own a gun in the US. The mental health element is relevant, but not 90 relevant.
