    You are not from a country, you are giving advice to that country, and you say you have no interest in what people from that country have to say.

    I must admit in terms of ability to persuade people to your side this is a rather bold strategy. “Hi I have no stake in the outcome, strong feelings about the outcome, and I don’t care what you the person who lives with the outcome thinks. Also you should do what I say”.

      I genuinely know you are correct. To be honest with you, I don’t like what I wrote.

      What’s still interesting to me, this horrible human, is that I also gave up convincing Americans on guns and yet still can’t stop posting. The endless debates on the internet about a topic that we outsiders tend to think has a simple single solution made me write that comment. I couldn’t stop myself. Apologies.

      He’s not wrong. If we want to get rid of the idiocy. If we’re willing to live with it, and based on our actions, we apparently are, then we don’t need to ban guns.

        I didn’t comment if they were right or wrong. I commented on how they spoke. You can be right or wrong, persuasive or not.

        I find it is easier to convince people of what I believe when I first don’t insult them.
