Do you guys compare more recent tragedies to some past event to try to gauge the level of atrocity? When 9/11 happened did people in the UK say this is 6 times worse than the troubles or some shit? Or is that just an American thing?

Huh. Good to know, thanks. Americans go hard with the patriotism. Like, do you have sports team fans that are so into their team that its their whole identity? We have people that are like that with the country, loads of them. They put flags everywhere and, sadly, they write songs. Not good ones mind you
