Do some people in the chess club live in the twilight zone? America is a nation born in violence, and was violent long before fast food or coke, that is our history. What is nonsense is to try and argue that this has anything to do with chess. America can be a violent place to live, but we have not cornered the market on violence. Just look at the history and current events in both Germany and Russia. Both of these cultures have set the standard for both personalized and organized mass violence in the history of mankind. Germany has started two world wars, and exterminated an estimated 6,000,000 Jews. And not to be out done, Russia has exterminated an estimated 20,000,000 of its own citizens and Jews and this just scratches the surface for both Germany and Russia. And the last time I looked this was not done under a capitalist system, or with the help of coke drinking, fast food, or action movies.
