Comment on Land where
DaddleDew@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThere are so many things that you can land on land that will absolutely ruin your day when going for land. A large boulder, a large tree, a cliffside, a building, something flammable, near an angry hungry bear… The open sea is seen as safer in the American school of thought.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a school administrator

In fairness, if you can throw a person at a person, one or both of those people are probably going to think twice about crossing you.
