Here's a fun one: Not waking up after going asleep/unconscious. Every night is a living hell of scaring yourself awake, and every surgery is done with local anesthetics.

Does P&W thinks gun controls work?
John Henry Holliday replied to Mutsuo Toi's topic in General Discussion
You're comparing a state with roughly 3.8 million people in it to a state with 37 million people in it (Census Bureau, 2015). Oregon doesn't have several overcrowded cities and all the problems related to them; they may have one (Portland) that is just beginning to experience problems. While you do try to make it fair by using the "per capita" violence, the conditions are not remotely similar. Although you also try to debunk the poverty issue by saying the cost of living is cheaper in Oregon, you're making a mistake that a lot of people understand: correlation-causation. Just because the cost of living is cheaper does not mean that the people there are living in poverty. How are the wages? What's the unemployment rate? How many people live below the poverty line? Let's not politicize this issue into Democrats or Republicans. The gun control issue has been around since the 1930s due to gang violence (hence why the ATF had a job), but took off in the 90s due to the Brady Campaign and school shootings like Columbine. It is by no means a new issue designed to distract people as a result of some plan for control. I'm not saying the government isn't unethical though. If you look at all the scummy things the CIA did during the Cold War, like. Project MKULTRA and things disclosed in the Church Committee (U.S. Senate, 2016), then you have reason to fear and distrust the government. What if it were politicized? What if it were the politicians' error that kept us in this state? Without civil discourse, unbiased statistics, and politicians willing to compromise for the benefit of their constituents, the political machine is broken. Reason has given way to emotions and stubbornness. The more close-minded we are, the deeper we fall into the maelstrom until we can no longer climb back out. The ghost of the Great Compromiser screams at how petty our issues are compared to what he dealt with, yet we'll never have another Henry Clay. The cogs in the machine grind to a halt. Enter stagnation. Also, I disagree with banning semi-automatic weapons like Australia did. I'm in support of any sane human being owning any gun they want as long as it can be tracked if that sane human being goes off his rocker. Ah, one day I'll get that MG42/MG3/M53 I always wanted. ​References (!@#$ this shit, I ain't need no hanging indent nor correct citations) United States Census Bureau http://www.census.gov/popest/data/state/totals/2015/index.html United States Senate http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/Church_Committee_Created.htm -
