mingez said:Here we go again :lol: And this isn't meant to sway anyone, I just thought this was intersting. And as TC said, Stats are like a holes, everybody has one, and everyone can find a stat to back up their agenda.
But, everybody talks about how crime rates are going down in the US and going up everywhere else. Let's shed some prespective on that statement.
Every developed nation has considerably lower numbers of murders than we.
Check this out: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T...=au&id=da&id=fr&id=nl&id=no&id=sp&id=sw&id=sz
That's per capita.
here are the totals:
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T...=au&id=da&id=fr&id=nl&id=no&id=sp&id=sw&id=sz
49 murders in Norway?
58 in Denmark?
637 in Japan?
12,658 in the US. Our nearest competitor in this illustrious category was South Korea at 4 times less per capita.

At the numbers we have, there's really nowhere to go but down...
But in overall Crime, all categories considered, we're doing better than many think.

I guess when we yankees commit crimes, we go big.
Denmark, who had the least amount of murders percapita also has the highest over all crime rate.
....interesting. :?
Numbers must consider whether or not the crime gets reported, but developed nations are pretty consistant. Still interesting.

so what this tells me is don't do anything stupid in the USA or you might just get you butt shot off! hehehe Still proud to an American, Christian, hetrosexual, pro gun, southern good ol boy with strong convictions against politicaly correctness, and the goverment intervention on my basic rights afforded me by the brave men and women that have served in our nations defence to keep me free. So thanks for pointing out that we are the kind of folks that need to watch our P's and Q's when out and about cause there are folks that will shoot you.
