The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Johnson: "At the end of the day, the problem is the human heart. It's not guns, it's not the weapons."

Unspoken at the end of the day is that the murder rate is higher for blacks and latinos per the FBI stats. This dovetails right into an SBC credo that White Christian Nationalists are superior in every way to the ethnic minority impurities surrounding them.

If we were pure White Christian Nationalists the murder rate would be as low as Europe because we would be pure ethnically and Christian. I tell them the Japanese have the lowest among industrialized nations, relatively pure racially (arguable by some), so Shinto and Buddhism are superior to Christianity?

Then you get a strange argument that the Japanese are the Asian Whites, and the other arguments it's the racial purity, the isolation of the islands, the high suicide rate, and they aren't really a democracy (extension of Japanese feudalism.) It's always humorous when they argue that it's also because it's very difficult to own a gun there.
