    Theoretically, looping COULD work in real life. If you’ve ever seen World Chase Tag, that’s a perfect example of how looping may keep your assailant at bay. In a more desperate situation, you could theoretically harness your DbD looping skills to keep a distance. You’re really gonna need the endurance to do so though.

    According to my games with Deathslinger, I get shot and immediately start bleeding everywhere.

    Just keep a gun on you, you idiots, get your carry licenses or keep a knife on you.

    Outside the US i guess the rest of you are getting shanked RIP.

    Outside the USA assault, gun violence, etc., are rare, at least in the so-called developed countries. My country in particular is in the top 10 most peaceful countries on Earth. The worst thing I have to worry about is someone surreptitiously trying to steal my wallet, because no thief with half a brain cell would try to rob a guy who's 30-40 cm taller than them face-to-face.

    Believe me, Germany is not so safe as you think. Well at least If you 1,69m and look like a child even If you over 18 years.

    I've never been to Germany, but I'm pretty sure it's not so dangerous that you'd need a gun or bladed weapon with you at all times, unlike what the other commenter was implying was advisable in the USA.

    Well not any time. But the crime rate has increased significantly in the last 5 years, in all crimes. And I know you will laugh about this but I would feel a littel bit saver If I had one :(

  • Orion
    Orion Member Posts: 21,675

    I won't laugh, no, because it's just psychological. In truth, though, guns make you less safe and you're more likely to shoot yourself or something/someone you care about than you are to take down a threat.

    It also doesn't surprise me that crime rate has increased.

    Your Statement is factually wrong. Data provided by the BKA and the collective of LKAs proves that every genre of crime has steadily diminished over the years, except for political violence and crime involving conspiracy idiots.

    It can be rough though, in my area casual violence is quite prevalent, as in fighting strangers on the street. I live in west germany.

    What holds true though is that too many americans fetishise their boomsticks despite them being the cause for thousands of deaths every year. Without a doubt they do more harm than good, but try explaining this to a people that lives with gun violence on the regular. I mean, they need guns to protect themselves from the guns, right?

    All this while the rest of the world is standing there, shaking their heads, wondering why their countrys are way safer than the US despite having little to no guns at all in the civilian sector.

    If you take a curated YT channel as your main source of information, you're just going to conclude whatever the channel shows you. For example, most streamers only upload successes to YT, but the fact is they lose a lot as well.

    Furthermore, statistical information gathered from across a country beats anecdotal experience any day. For example, if I were to base my judgement of my country solely on what I experience, I'd conclude there is absolutely no crime whatsoever, which is just not true.

    We're in an English section of the forum, so I'd appreciate if you spoke English. I also don't speak German.

    From what I understood, you're disparaging what I presume to be a national authority on crime statistics because they don't count crimes that weren't reported and because it doesn't match your personal experience. You also mentioned a YT channel with curated content as evidence that you're right.

    My point is that:

    • No one can know statistics about crimes that aren't reported. That includes you. To say that you're right, but the data that proves it cannot be found is the hallmark of a conspiracy theory and not of a factual hypothesis.
    • Your personal experience doesn't have to reflect the overall statistic - that's how statistics work, after all. Just because I don't experience crime in my country, for example, doesn't mean there is no crime in my country. Likewise, just because you're seeing more crime doesn't mean there's more crime overall in your country.
    • YouTube channels with curated content are only there to provide a single type of perspective. If you watched a YT channel showing nothing but Flat Earth nonsense and took it as factual, you would wrongly conclude the Earth is flat. If you watched a YT channel showing nothing but homeopathic nonsense and took it as factual, you would wrongly conclude one of the core tenets of chemistry (and basic common sense) is wrong. If you watched a YT channel showing nothing but people committing crimes or making themselves look foolish, you would wrongly conclude crime is on the rise and that everyone around you is an idiot.

    Is that better?

    Oh I diden't know that you can't read German sry for that because I'm sure you misunderstand me.

    I never say that my Personal experience should or does reflect the statistic.

    I not say that I right and everyone is wrong. But I sure we ALL wrong in a special way.

    And I guess you allredy found out that I have my personal fear because of my personal experience. Overall to have this fears is just normal for a humen.

    And I watch this Type of Videos because of my lack of knowledge which I want to incrase with Conversations. Of course I don't believe everything.

    So I hope I understand you right now :D

    PS: of course is the earth flat you 4head :P (Joke)

    There is something like 3 or 4 guns per person in the US. And yet more people die to car accidents. Do we blame the cars? Do we blame the car manufacturers?

    A good portion, if not the majority of gun deaths is planned suicide. Most of the gun violence is gang related. Which speaks more about culture i would argue.

    What isnt plastered all oved the internet is the number of crimes deterred by guns. The number of people saved by law abiding trained citizens with guns.

    England took away the guns. So knife violence surged. Then they banned knives. What's next? Mandatory boxing gloves when in public?

    Australia bans pepper spray. So what is the deterrent for a violent criminal from targeting a small woman or man? None.

    We all hear all the horrible things guns do. Its plastered in our faces by completely one sided mainstream news conglomorate with an agenda.

    You can argue that one sided YT channels are propaganda, but no more or less than televised 'news' programs

    We can debate the issue of gun violence until the cows come home, as they say, but the data is what it is. You can call it propaganda or "an agenda" all you'd like. You've made up your mind, there's nothing I can present that will make you change your mind.

    The problem with loop chasing someone is that if you are looping an assailant, you're probably scared half to death and will eventually bottle it. I played a loop chase with a colleague around pallets at work, it was half heartedly, as soon as i opened the taps, they panicked and pulled out of the loop 😅

    depends on so many things but who in real life would be dumb enough to run around an object without trying to jump over it and catch you ?

    Absolutely, just slam a pallet on the bad guy and then tbag. Maybe click a flashlight a few times.

    depends. Let's say you're on one side of a table, with a person chasing you across from you. Considering that you can run at about the same speed as them, there is a very limited number of ways your pursuer could catch you.

    Or you can, y'know, throw beer bottles at them or something...

    On the contrary. Show me facts. Show me proof. My thoughts on gun violence in America are based on actual FBI numbers. Not personal anecdotal evidence.

    I have changed my mind on many things as i learned more and more through the years. Knowledge is power.

    Nothing i stated about guns is not supported by facts. Yes i left some wiggle room for suicides because i dont remembed the number off hand and would rather not quote an exact number and be wrong in a topic like this.

    Nothing about laws in England is false nor pepper spray in Australia.

    So what facts are we conflicted about?
