How sure are we that u/colmear isn’t just an alt of OP? It could be just OP claiming they don’t live in the US!

Funny, I’m an American and I also blame it on the military industrial complex.

Specifically, fucking planes and now drones.

I have never thought about the alien sighting thing. Are they really all or mostly in the US?

One could certainly note that America also spends by far the most on things like stealth bombers and fighters, or that the most common types of sightings oh-so-coincidentally end up matching the profiles of those stealth planes once they become common knowledge.

Why didn’t they just say “in all states…” puzzles me. What other states can we be talking about?

All countries are states, and a good handful or so countries are federations which call their largest constituencies states, so Germany for example has states, as does Malaysia, as does Australia.

Edit: just reading now that there’s no consensus on what a state is exactly, so, fuck knows.

Post is probably fake. Anyone that thought they were talking to another American WOULD just say 50 States, or all the States.

I reckon someone is using multiple accounts so they can “murder” something to make a point. I’m surprised they didn’t throw some metric stuff in their to really throttle the pretentiousness.

Create post

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

  • Personal appearance (“You’re fat”, “You’re ugly”)
  • Posts with little-to-no context
  • Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
  • Dick jokes, “Yo mama”, “No, you” type responses and other low effort insults
  • “Your values are bad” without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong (“I believe in capitalism” - “Well, then you must be evil” or “Fuck you you ignorant asshole”)

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.
