Maybe he was thinking ' Drag Racing ' ?
I think 100,000 dying from attending a Drag Show is stretching it a bit .

Yep, that bloke is the poster boy for the MAGA crowd.
Truth is not important. Facts don't matter. Just blindly follow what you're told no matter how ridiculous or far fetched it sounds.
I worked with a bloke who thought that Islamic terrorists killed more people in Europe than guns do in America. Tried telling him that EVERY death in Europe combined was less than a week of gun deaths in the US but he wasn't having it.

Which is another affliction Americans seem to suffer from.

True, and the Christianity here is a bit extreme to say the least.simon hammer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:05 pm See also: Christianity.

Re: America - Guns & Mass Shootings
The American interpretation of Christianity is just the same as the Talibans interpretation of the Qur'an...extreme, fundamentalist and literal.
Jesus preached peace, and wasn't a Christian.
I'd imagine the aftermath of mentioning those 2 facts in some states would bring about another debate about gun control though.

Re: America - Guns & Mass Shootings
From what I can gather, most of them think more people die from knife crime in the UK than gun crime in the USA.

Reading that in my head, it came across as part Irish and part cockney.

Re: America - Guns & Mass Shootings
One dead, three injured at a Trader Joe's (who I work for) here in Southern California.
Apparently a car pulled up and just started shooting at the shop.
I have to admit that with all the culture wars in America now thinking that the maga crowd might target us as we're seen as a bastion of liberal America.
No idea if that's the case now but it's been on my mind.
