No disagreement that we are a violent nation, my beleif is that we are so because we are a tropical country and so should be measured against scicily, corsica, North Africa South Africa rather than the euros and Canada. Canada is totally different because they were settled by a nation of ass kissers who wanted to stay with the accepted order, and the french who keep them awake and annoyed. Our muder rates compared to South Africa are not that bad. And before the snowfolks chime in, whats the average july temp in Omaha vs Bonn or London?
thanx,
