Well, to sum it up:
Things responsible for school shootings:
Ritalin
Video games
Too many doors
Not enough walls
Walls that are too thin
Mean girls
Bad parents
The liberal media
Not enough police officers
Ineffective police officers
Not enough guns
Things not responsible:
Too many guns

A massively disenfranchised society all about individual worth? A system that tells people that if they just knuckle down and do their bit they'll do fine, while all the while they're being ripped off? A system that actively discourages community mindedness?
You tell me.

You tell me.
And since you bring up community mindedness, the diminishing of trust in the community is the direct result of diversity.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Well, the extreme individualism in the USA obviously is detrimental to the community.
Best example is the health insurance sector.
The "freedom" to not have a health insurance costs you (as the whole US society) big.
The costs (compared to a single payer insurance, like all other western nations have) are much higher and the coverage is much worse ... also, due to it all being almost totally unregulated capitalism, you have a high danger of getting ripped off, for example in emergency rooms (where you may have to pay 1000 $ for just a bandage and no medical assistance).
And even those who "like" the freedom of not being insured play russian roulette, as a medical emergency (or cancer) can result in much more costs than they would have had, if they had paid for a health insurance in countries with single payer insurance models (usually resulting in medical bankruptcies, which btw. is something almost completely unheard of in countries with single payer insurances ... they are more or less unique to the USA)
Not to forget those who had preexisting conditions (which include previous pregnancies as I have learned) which gives US health insurance agencies an excuse to deny them coverage, or charge astronomical costs.
So you, as a society, pay a high price for your "individual freedom" in the health sector.Last edited by Proteus_MST; May 22, 2018, 08:55.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

This would decrease the chance that ysu all would die and you could still have individual fun with nuclear weapons (and especially, would be able to effectively protect yourself from the state and its army which, after all, is the reason for the 2nd amendment, according to some NRA followers).
Considering the costs of even these tiny nuclear weapons I am also sure that they wouldnt be too widespread, as only the richest 10-20 % of US society would be able to afford one (or more) of them
