Which isn't what was said. What was said is this is the only country where this regularly happens. The U.S. comprises 5% of the of the world's population yet endures 24% of the world's primary school attacks over the last 20 years.

I beg to differ. That's exactly what was said.
OP:
> The "this" there is no way to prevent, in the only nation where it happens, is school shootings. We are not just at the top of that list, we're at the bottom as well, because it doesn't happen anywhere else.

That's not what those data show. Plenty of attacks in China, for example.
Besides, even one example would be enough to refute the OP's claim that "it doesn't happen anywhere else".
The salient point is that this is NOT the only country where this happens. Not even close.

I’m sorry, but I do not believe you at all
You: This is the only country where this happens.
Me: False. Here is some data that shows it happens in many other countries.
What is there to "believe" here? All that was necessary to refute you was to find ONE incident in another country. I found dozens. Linking to the other two lists (each of which also have many incidents in other countries) can only further destroy your incorrect assertion. There's no way those can magically make you right. Even if the other two both had zero (which they don't...far from it), that wouldn't matter in the slightest.
Take the L and move on.
You: move every goalpost
All that was necessary to refute you was to find ONE incident in another country.
Is one isolated incident really all that is necessary to refute the Onion's assertion that this is the only country where this regularly happens?
