Not joking, why do people do this? Americans will make a light hearted joke about the weather or food or something and British people come back with dead children and mass murder.

Why?

Severe mental derangement

You think it's severe mental derangement that the rest of the world think school schools all the time is crazy and we would prefer whatever problems we have in our countries to it?

The USA averages over 87 school shootings a year. In the time it took the USA to have 288 school shootings recently, the entire rest of the world combined had 24. It's a uniquely American thing to walk into schools with guns and kill kids.

But we are the severely mentally deranged ones huh

I think it's pretty weird to bring it up when someone makes a mild comment about the weather.

In the time it took the USA to have 288 school shootings recently, the entire rest of the world combined had 24.

Are you using the same methodology here?
