Yikes.

You might need to take a break from the internet, for your health.

Can you specify exactly what you’re referring to so we’re on the same page?

Jews wouldn’t have Israel without the Christians giving it to them.

At this point, it’s the parent’s fault for raising their children in Iran.

They should be doing everything in their power to leave.

So is drinking.

I guess we ban alcohol too, huh. Oh wait, we tried that.

You must be one of the, “I don’t like it so neither should anyone else” people.

Speak for yourself.

It’s not enforceable.

India is about as united as Afghanistan. We’ll see shops in Delhi follow the law and the government enforcing it.

Everywhere else probably won’t even know this is happening. If they did, they’ll take is as an opportunity to gauge young people buying tobacco. No law enforcement will occur.

“If I don’t like it, then neither should anyone else!” - you

That wasn’t funny or clever.

Love the “if I don’t do it, neither should anyone else” mentality among children in these threads.

The US doesnt ban articles talking about highrises collapsing because of corruption.

Does China ban articles about highrises collapsing?

Can you provide any source for this?

I was referring to the highrises collapsing at all. As in, their maintenance was allowed to slack off to the point the building collapsed… while people were in it.

Where does that money come from? Hint: it isn’t from Mexican citizens.

Uhh, yes it is. Please provide a source to the contrary.

Describe the process that a normal Mexican citizen can use to hold a gang member from the cartel accountable.

I’m not saying none of them are doing it, but as a society they have collectively chosen to make gangbanging a very viable and lucrative option for those involved. There are Mexicans that refuse to reward gangbangers with sex or social standing, but they are fewer and less powerful than those who reward gangbangers. It’s not a part of their collective culture to shun gangbanging.

What life experience am I missing that you have that would let me understand your point?

That luxuries and sex are the main reasons people make money. You take those away, and people will change their behavior to get them back. While I don’t see business owners checking where customers get their money, it’s definitely possible for women to avoid rewarding gangbangers with sex. They don’t, so we continue to see gangbanging as a viable option for gangbangers.

Gangbanging isn’t so fun when everyone around you, including women, despises you.

Lol, maybe you need more life experience then.

You do realize that luxuries and sex come simply from having money, right? Anyone with money can get those things.

Yes. And gangbangers gangbang for money. Wow. What a shock. I’ve already addressed this in my previous comment: “Until they stop putting wealth on a pedestal and start holding people accountable for how they get that wealth, these problems won’t get solved.”

The only thing local Mexican citizens care about is not getting shot and killed by the guns smuggled from the US.

Really? I guess you have a point. Even the gangbangers care about not getting shot and killed, but I figure they have other matters to focus on as well.

If you think the issue is the US importing guns, you may be a tribalist just clinging to your side’s rhetoric. Try to think independently so you don’t repeat the same mistakes as other tribalists.

You’ve said nothing of substance.

Thanks for the informative post.

Perhaps I should go with bear spray whenever I’m in areas with bear attacks.

I didn’t think it would be so effective, but you’re right about them having very sensitive noses.

I never said it wasn’t a problem in China.

It’s a problem anywhere it happens, that’s where you and I diverge.

Hence my original point of: “It’s only bad when China does it” -you

Sorry, I am unsure how this federation thing works but your explanation made it much clearer.

No, but they are rewarded for their behavior with what people usually work for: luxuries and sex.

Until they stop putting wealth on a pedestal and start holding people accountable for how they get that wealth, these problems won’t get solved.

Not sure what about this is so difficult for you to understand.
