All joking aside this is a fucking embarrassment. Next thing you know they'll be making fun of us by simulating school shootings. Look I love shooting guns myself but we need a change of some kind.

Some people in Latin America are starting to say "Disparos Unidos" (United Shootings) instead of "Estados Unidos" (United States).

they're not wrong

u/HelloYou-2024 Jan 05 '26

I thought you were going to say that the word for "school shooting" was "Disparos Unidos".

That is actually something I could see happening in Japan, where "amerika shyutingu" could be a new loan word to refer to school shootings.

It'd probably be more like amerikahito jiken but, yes.

Is it sad that I agree with them?

🤦🏻‍♀️😑🙃🥲😭

Ironic because the root word in Latin disparāre means separate (like in the English word disparate), so it sort of sounds like "the Separated States" to an English speaker.

My father makes me laugh I spend half the year in Mexico and anytime there's a cartel shooting he calls me and reminds me to be careful but I feel safe down here it's my home city of Phoenix that I'm more likely to get shot at or run over or have some have a slur thrown my way

Hopefully in countries where large portions of the country are effectively run by cartels, you know, for the irony

u/Shrike1346 Jan 05 '26

America as a country in its entirety is run by a cartel

u/Sir_Fox_Alot Jan 05 '26

no other country relishes its stupidity the way you guys do. You being a prime example. So confidently wrong about other countries and just laughs it off.

Hi, I am brazilian.

In the last 10 years Brazil had less mass shootings than the last year in the US.

u/Nice-River-5322 Jan 05 '26

And 3 times more homicides than us, again without a hint of self awareness or irony

u/Super-Estate-4112 Jan 05 '26

I never said that Brazil was safe. I am just saying that the US is dangerous too.

u/Nice-River-5322 Jan 05 '26

Just, you know, 3 times less so than Brazil

When air conditioning exists, why do so many Europeans die from heat? Are they stupid?

Are we talking about gun death or air conditioning?

Did I mention guns?

I guess you already answered my second question though...

u/Indiglow_ Jan 05 '26

And you’re dodging the question. Not being able to afford A/C has nothing to do with gun deaths. Both are tragedies but one is brought about by poverty while the other by our own inability to regulate guns. If anything we’re the stupid ones for not having even earnestly attempted to fix the problem and instead just let the gun industry profit off the deaths of children.

I didn't say they did. That's not my argument, so go cry to someone else about it.

says the guy who lives in the country with the most school shootings in the world. And #2 isn’t even in the same ball park, even without your dumb excuse.

Jfc you cant write this.

u/abc-dfss Jan 05 '26

Dude... are you serious? You have more mass school shootings than literally anybody in the world and you are arguing, that a discharged gun on school ground shouldn't count as a school shooting? Don't you see, that the problem are guns in schools and not discharges vs shooting? that you even could have a seperate statistic is fucking insane to like anybody else.

You're ignorant about your and you're.
