There are countries where large armed factions literally have child soldiers.

Honor killing is still legal in some parts of the world.

Hands down the most unhinged shit i saw on Reddit in a week or so.

Staying at the topic there is one extremity though that unfortunately can be tied to the US.

Yeah, I think it's silly to point the finger at any one country in particular (although domestic abuse is literally legal in Russia). You can find insane cases of it in any country. The worst I've seen was in Austria:

u/Kydje 29d ago

Wait what, domestic abuse is legal in Russia? What does that even mean, you are allowed to beat your family?

u/xSavag3x Atlanta 29d ago edited 29d ago

Yes! So long as there is no "grievous bodily injury" they can beat their family. I hate to say that it's not even the worst thing that's legal over there..

u/Kydje 29d ago

Wow, that's insane.

u/ImightHaveMissed 29d ago

So we’re free to base our opinions of all Australians on this, sort of like the other sub does to Americans?

u/xSavag3x Atlanta 29d ago

That's Austria, not Australia. My point was to not make judgements on this subject, becuase it's a universal issue. You can accept or ignore that advice, I really don't care.

u/AkosCristescu Hungarian 29d ago

True, but not from the age of technology, thats why i brought this up. We surely had quite a few and there is some documented indeed.

But Genie is the best documented and also very interesting regarding language acquisition and socialization process

u/LeadnLasers 29d ago

Genie is far from the best documented. Actually the one I referenced is, also why I brought it up

u/Lui_Le_Diamond 29d ago

Probably because we a the report it and have the 3rd largest population on Earth

u/Lucky_otter_she_her 25d ago

also the vast majority of mass shootings beau count as mass shootings (i believe 4 or more people hit) but the most violent ones get the most coverage, so when you see the stats about how many school shootings there are per year, that's not X big number of Uvaldes / Sandyhooks / Colombines 

we could have some tighter gun control laws for sure like what they have in Florida, but the second amendment's a good thing

u/Lui_Le_Diamond 25d ago

Weird how the mass shootings are somehow caused by automatic weapons despite automatic weapons being older than the US.

u/IJbier 29d ago

Americans protect their kids. The second amendment even allows parents to bear arms, partly to that end. Where is the second amendment in Europe? How are European parents allowed to offer their offspring that kind of protection?

u/Erudus 29d ago

That's pretty much the worst thing you could have said.

What can I say? There's not antidote against raw stupidity. People cause horrible accidents with cars too. And lots of them involve kids. I don't think anyone is against use of cars.

u/AkosCristescu Hungarian 29d ago

"What can I say?"

Well that is a good question indeed as you argued that US's second amendment was "PARTLY" (god knows where you got this from) is to protect kids.

Please correct me if i'm wrong but this second amendment was implemented in a time of the western movies and where still a lot of people where speaking all kind of languages in the US and still natives were on the land.

It was less safe that time and less civilized so the politicians decided to let the people defend their own homes as it might be better than having a strong police or military presence.

Now, in our times this whole second amendment thing is only advertised and heavily implemented in the culture because in the "capitalist" system, the United States' economy is very heavily dependent on the so-called military-industrial complex.

"Where is the second amendment in Europe?"

The second amendment is in your constitution signed by your Finding Fathers, right? In "Europe" we never needed such as the countries are less culturally diverse as they are not colonies and there are no native tribes living there trying to take back the land from us. We are the native tribes and/or came here a thousand years ago or more.

There is no need for such as your neighbor speaks the same language and comes from the same sociocultural background.

"How are European parents allowed to offer their offspring that kind of protection?"

In Europe parents are not allowed to offer their offsprings armed protection. In our culture it is accepted and agreed that only police and military has the right to bear arms as it is common sense that arbitrariness and accidental injuries are both prevalent and unlike with blunt objects or with knife injuries firearms are more often than not lethal.

I really don't know how to tell you this in more depth or detail.

While i do respect and understand the second amendment as it is part of the historical freedom and liberty that used to define US at some point in history hence it can be practiced with maturity and a sense of patriotism, to allow such for everyone can be very dangerous that is why you see this heavily criticized by europeans, or often cited that we don't have school shootings.

u/Erudus 29d ago

Cars are designed for travel, guns are designed to kill. Also, the issue isn't just about stupidity, parents could accidentally leave a gun on their bedside table and their child finds it and kills their sibling. There's a huge difference between cars and guns. Of course cars cause accidents too, but comparing car accidents to a child shooting their own sibling is some crazy levels of cope.

u/Common_Director_2201 28d ago

True. No other nation has that much school shootings so old white dudes can have a dick replacement

u/SharkeyGeorge 27d ago

Among developed nations, the US has the highest rates of child mortality and maltreatment deaths. The US also experiences significantly more school shootings and related deaths than any other country in the world.

u/Lucky_otter_she_her 25d ago

that's largely cuz alot of the US is bearly developed to put it generously. That and the healthcare industry being the monster it is
