  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

American: makes any sort of joke about any country, even if it's the smallest most unoffending thing

Person from that country : ur children get shot in schools

We might overuse that comeback, but at least we don't have school shootings.

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)

Seems like the comeback is working since it gets Yanks flustered and writing paragraphs of text as a reply lol
