Okay, but you do realize that comeback makes you look bad right, not us? No matter your reasons or intentions, you are mocking children being murdered. Like in the example below:

American: lol British people eat spotted dicks.

A brit: lol American children get shot at school.

Wow. What a zinger, you really got me with that one, a fool I was to not recognize the comedy of children dying horrifically.

(To be clear, I didn't come up with that example randomly. I've seen the mocking of spotted dick be met with "lol child murder" more than once)

They're mocking us for letting children get murdered. Don't get all civility politics up in here if you can't even grasp the concept of the jab.

Is spotted dick political? I suppose us americans should have known it was a contentious subject that warrants jokes about child murder

It's a fucking ignorant ass jab directed at the wrong people. The majority of Americans support stricter gun laws, it is NOT the common mans fault that our centuries old political system is set up in a way that a minority party can have so much influence.

Like I already said, no matter the reasons or intentions, they ARE mocking children being murdered. Maybe it's "lol you guys let children die lol" instead of "lol child death lol", but either way children are dead and they are laughing. Meanwhile, the majority of Americans are horrified by it and pissed off nothing is being done by our government to stop it.

It's also just incredibly thin-skinned. Really, you're gonna get so offended over a joke about spotted dick that your only response is "you guys have school shootings lol".

Your responses make the meme accurate. Bravo.
