“We Don’t Exist”: 40 Hilarious Stereotypes About People’s Home Countries

Gun/bomb threats are very common. They are not widely reported or visible to news sources. The elementary school near me had 2 bomb threats and 1 gun threat. In MIDDLE SCHOOL. Another local highschool was under lockdown for a threatening note left on the gym doors. It's madness.

He may not be wrong..

1st semester, 1st day: no pass day due to bomb threat. 1st semester: someone tried to bring a Glock through the metal detectors. 2nd semester: lockdown due to shooting across the street. 2nd semester: kid stabbed his bully in the stomach with a sharpened cafeteria spoon (no, really.) 3rd semester: found a gun in someone’s locker. Lockdown. 4th semester: full SWAT team sweep because some kids jumped another kid and held him at gunpoint.

If you're so proud of your country, why do you post anonymously?

That makes zero sense! I can be proud of my country and protect my privacy too. I work at a private university and don't want to lose out on tenure b/c someone took offense at one little thing I said. Nothing to do with my pride or being proud of my country.

Perhaps they're muddling it with the highest homicide rate of the G7 countries?? That's the US. Between 2000 and 2021. In 2021, it reached 6.81 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, an increase from 6.52 in 2020 and 5.07 in 2019. Mind you, step outside developed countries...

I agree with everything except your opinions on insurance. You should get travel health insurance while traveling in the US, just in case anything happens, so you don’t have to pay the big fees.

Absolutely friggin loutely. A medical accident or incident in the USA will leave you bankrupt. Maybe you have a nice country that will pick up the tab. But I'd cover my booty and get some anyway. The prices here for medical are outrageous.

Have you honestly never seen a gun? I wonder where you are geographically. My dad had guns. My grandpa had guns. My uncle has guns. His kids have guns. My neighbors carried their handguns on them, concealed carry, all the time. They also showed me their new assault rifles. My husband had a gun. I cannot fathom having never seen a gun in America. Like where is that? Or maybe you're just not counting rifles?

Yes because Ben's experience is just like everyone else's. I suppose since I wasn't assaulted or saw violent crime when I lived in Atlanta, the DC sniper killing people here as a training experience was made up by all of us in Atlanta. The guy that was able to overpower an officer at his court hearing and kill people in the courtroom, outside of the courtroom, and all his carjackings was a story we got together to make up. Have I figured out the game yet?

I literally know like 4 people who own a gun so no it's no where near 50 percent of civilians own guns

Did you actually read the statement? It doesn't say 50% of civilians of civilians own guns, that's about 32%. https://ammo.com/articles/how-many-gun-owners-in-america . It says 50% of civilian owned guns throughout the world.

I think refugees would disagree with your comment.

Sure. It would be a stereotype to state that Swedish people have blonde hair. Obviously, there are many Swedish people who do not have blonde hair. However close to 80% of Swedish people have blonde (source: worldpopulationreview.com), so in the majority of cases, this stereotype would be true.
