Please remove the word 'threads' as it is superfluous.
I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

America is reaping what it sowed, killings ae NOW an almost EVERYDAY occurrence despite the hand wringing , wailing and crying of the parents and the authorities, due to scare tactics and the overuse of weapons by everyone including the mainly untrained and ignorant Police .
People are rightly afraid/
Many years ago I visited their frequently, now sadly I will not visit as so many pictures of P{olice brutality and sheer stupidity plus too many shootings.

It would appear KARMA as come top haunt the Gun Brigade 100%%

42 are murdered
65 die from gun suicide
10 survive an attempted gun suicide
1 is killed unintentionally
90 are shot unintentionally and survive
1 is killed by legal intervention*
4 are shot by legal intervention and survive
1 died but the intent was unknown
12 are shot and survive but the intent was unknown

The only positive side of all these massive shooting and deaths are the increased need for Funeral Directors
Surprising enough they need a Degree to become one in the USA

"If you want to become a funeral director you will need to choose a mortician school, and earn either an associate’s degree or a bachelor’s degree. Most funeral directors earn their degree in funeral service or mortuary science . These programs will help you understand the industry, the role of a funeral director and how you can succeed in this job."

No thanks, I'd rather have someone who knows what they're doing.

I would not trust them, like a Thai builder. If they were conducting my funeral I would be personally watching them carefully and make sure they do a good job.

Americans of course, it is out of the question that my funeral could be run by somebody named after body excreta.

Judging by the number of Bar-b-ques they have in the USA, I thought slinging a carcase on a fire was a SIMPLE action that required no education, as it seems firring a weapon needs ZERO intelligence why do you need education to cremate someone. Unless of course you run a battery of tests to make sure they are actually dead .....haha`

"After a new law took effect in January, anyone 18 or over may carry a handgun in the state without a permit, background check or safety training in Alabama. Gov. Kay Ivey signed a law that repealed the concealed carry permit requirement in March 2022."
