Search online which country is seen as the bigger threat to the world, Americans will be shocked. The surveys are conducted on regular basis so there isn't any room for mental gymnastics.

depends on your metrics for compariosn ? # of wars conducted ? # of innocents killed ? # of foreign governments overturned ? # of citizens jailed ? the US leads all those metrics for example.

oh, wow. it appears to be so. won't somebody please put a stop all that madness lol

This is hopefully a 1 time 'event', blocking access to this would have an immediate effect, the issue would be that once this is online, there will be multiple ways in future to view it, and sick f*cks who wish to do so.

A decent government would still oppose this, and would attempt to block access to it.

Serious question? Or trolling?

Remove access is not the same as remove content

Being a pedant is not the same as making a valid point.

I take your point.

However, live-streaming the murder (which is what capital punishment is) of a murderer can reinforce that :

• the US is a violent society which is devolving back to more primitive times when hangings, lynchings, and other executions were used as public spectacle
• this sort of event is put on to make the US govt look strong but only makes it look decrepit trying to distract its people from the economic mess it's put them in
• it is creating a martyr which could lead to more people becoming radicalised and carrying out more terrorist acts on US soil and elsewhere
• the US is on par with the few countries that still have public executions like North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran, all of which are religious or political extremists.

You also have to consider that sadly and horrifically, mass killings of innocent people are common in the US but this one is being showtimed because it suits the political stance of the Trump govt. This both exploits the situation for political gain but also exposes that the govt is willing to traumatise not only its own people but the international community, and so losing even more respect.

this is the claim proponents of killing people with guns being reasonable make. Nothing to do with headshots you rude twerp.

I'll be sure to shit on your floor if I ever visit, since a wolf would do that btw.

It would seem that way, but the truth is somehow worse. Most Americans simply don't care. It's not that they don't know enough to care, they simply don't care enough to know. Accepting it, perpetuating it, or even cheering it on takes some degree or stage of caring in one way or another, most Americans (and dare I say Westerners in general) aren't even interested in the conversation.

Have you considered that a ban from Australia may simply help Australians?

Also, Australia implemented a social media ban for under 16's which has paved the way for other countries to do the same.

The world needs to send a clear message. Idiocracy was never supposed to be a documentary. Executions are not entertainment.
