Not enough guns to kill people who attempt to harm them.

If I have a knife and I know you can't shoot me, then odds are, I'm gonna be much more brash.

I don't understand how people do not realize that fear is what keeps criminals at bay... Now of course, some just lose their shit and they are crazy and they go out killing people.

But if you are lets say a rapist, the idea of dying certainly will keep you from doing something you shouldn't do.

wouldn't want to get in this..... But isn't USA more violent and more criminal than basically any of these  "EU-countries" despite the supposed fear planted in criminals ?
I mean in America there is death penalty which doesn't exist in any other normal country, people have plenty of guns, overall punishments are much harder, more people sit in prisons etc.

wikip gives for example following murder-rates:

USA 4.8
Denmark 0.9
Finland 2.2     (shameful figure but warrior-blood from Volga still sits in us somewhat)
Norway 0.6
Sweden 1.0
UK 1.2
Greece 1.5
Italy 0.9
Portugal 1.2
Spain 0.8
Germany 0.8
Netherlands 1.1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate#By_country

You can see that US is on whole different planet.
Of course these are murder rates but I recall other crimes follow pretty much the same statistics.

In all over VIOLENCE, including strong armed robbery and rape, the UK is the 2nd most violent country in the world.

Only thing I found quick was this map which claims to show countries with highest reported "crime rates" and indeed it puts UK in 2nd (not specifying the crimes though)

The problem being it shows "reported crimes". In African countries or in many Asian countries, not ever speaking of South-American countries there probably are not systems to report crimes or at least to keep record of them.

Again, not violent crime.

The UK is the type of country where people will call the police to 'report' any stupid incident.

I've been here for years and feel super safe, never felt threatened or in any type of danger.

Most violent 'crime' are knife stabbings from teenagers against each other and who think they gangsters. Most are of carribean/african descent.

but even second in eu dont mean much, europe has worse countries.

i been to many places in europe and the uk feels safe.

if one has seen london, hes seen it all.

spain is more safe maybe on paper, but every house at any beach is gated,lol.

serbia is kinda safe too, but its bc ppl know the cops will transform you into a cripple just for fun.

its all relative.



There is actually some other stuff that's been brought out and even makes it more violent than most countries, even those in Africa, but I'd have to do a lot more research and I'm not doing that right this minute.

The UK's violent crime average is 3.5 times the US... 350%!!!!

Is leaving the country an option for you? I watched some youtube clips where south africanians, of course whiteoids, talked a little bit about the conditions of living and it seems immensely shitty. Also met an Austrian who lived there for a few years and after some gun incidents involving the school that his children attended he packed his bags and left to never return.

Our murder rate is high due to black on black violence, with in turn is usually tied to the gang and drug trade. Our country publishes the FBI UCR where you can look at crime trends - Among Whites, it's in the low 2's. Among Latins, it's just a tad higher. Among Blacks it's always in the low to mid 6's. Sad but true.

but that doesnt make them go away.

in brazil most shootings,too, are done by criminals, no shit, eh.

blacks and gang culture are result from american history, its part of the society.




I'm just pointing it out because foreigners try to make it out like the US is some spectacularly violent country when a huge percentage of all the violent crime is limited to a small segment of society, which on average will never cross into "regular" society. Does it suck for the normal people that are stuck in those areas? Sure, but that is a societal problem confined to those areas, until they embrace the fact that they are fucking it up for themselves and others, nothing will happen.

All the increased policing, gun control, community centers, etc.... will do little to correct that.

There is NO way South Africa is THIRD on that list.

No-one really bothers to REPORT crimes and violence to the police as it is a waste of time.

On the other hand, in the UK they will report every single small nuisance and totally bombard the police with 'reports'.

Some countries also do even bother to properly file or keep records such as the third one on that list which is one ofa the most dangerous country outside of a war-zone.

"The comparison of violent crime statistics between countries is usually problematic, due to the way different countries classify crime.[2] Valid comparisons require that similar offences between jurisdictions be compared. Often this is not possible because crime statistics aggregate equivalent offences in such different ways that make it difficult or impossible to obtain a valid comparison."

"The presentation of large amounts of reported crime data in the same format, as is the case with the various country results reported on this web site, raises questions about the possibility of comparing reported crime levels in different countries. In fact, experts generally regard cross-country comparisons of crime statistics as being characterized by methodological difficulties for the following three reasons:

Different definitions for specific crime types in different countries: The category in which any incident of victimization is recorded relies on the legal definition of crime in any country. Should that definition be different, and indeed this is often the case, comparisons will not in fact be made of exactly the same crime type. This is particularly the case in crimes that require some discretion from a police officer or relevant authority when they are identified. For example, the definitional difference between serious or common assault in different legal jurisdictions may be different, and this will be reflected in the total number of incidents recorded.

Different levels of reporting and traditions of policing: Different societies across the globe have been shown to have different levels of reporting of criminal incidents. This relates closely to levels of development in any society, most clearly reflected in accessibility to the police. Thus factors such as the number of police stations or telephones in any society impact upon reporting levels. The level of insurance coverage in any community is also a key indicator of the likelihood of citizens approaching the police as their claim for compensation may require such notification. In addition, in societies where the police are or have been mistrusted by the population, most specifically during periods of authoritarian rule, reporting levels are likely to be lower than in cases where the police are regarded as important members of the community.

Different social, economic and political contexts: Comparing crime data from societies that are fundamentally different may ignore key issues present in the society that impact upon levels of reporting. For example, different social norms in some societies may make it almost impossible for women to report cases of rape or sexual abuse, while in others, women are encouraged to come forward.

These factors, while alerting the reader to the potential pitfalls of comparisons, apply more to some crimes than others. In selected cases, most notably homicide, country to country comparisons are safer, although may still be subject to the drawbacks outlined above. In the case of some categories of violent crime - such as rape or assault - country to country comparisons may simply be unreliable and misleading.

violent crimes against regular folk is non existent.
burglary and car crime a different story.
I live in one of the roughest town's in the most violent (apparently) part of the UK.  I've got a £3000 push bike in the shed no one has ever tried to steal.  even though I'm surrounded by jobless drug dealers who fight each other all the time they have never even looked at me funny.

I have posted two bits of info one from the UN website that states that these crime figs from different countries are very unreliable for the use of country to country comparison, due to the different way each country classifies certain crimes and compiles their figs.

The UN website claims that homicide figs are one of the safer for drawing accurate comparisons as there is very little difference how different countries classify this crime.

You can see straight away from the fact that South Africa is apparently less violent than the UK that any comparisons on those figs are completely flawed. Only an utter moron would believe that the UK is more violent than the SA.

If one country has a much higher murder rate than another you can bet your bottom dollar it will also be an all round more violent country. The US has a far, far higher murder rate than the UK.

Lol some fucking stupid folk in this thread, as I'm sure I said about a month ago, those brit stats are based on reported crimes, and the way their grouped.


You guys are the definition of fucking stupid, your actually putting effort into these posts while, being so fucking oblivious to the obvious. If you seriously think violent crime is anywhere, possible, ever, approaching the issues in SA, you must be living in the 13 th century or some shit because your beyond retarded.

Guns escalate violence it's a fucking fact, well established one.

I have posted two bits of info one from the UN website that states that these crime figs from different countries are very unreliable for the use of country to country comparison, due to the different way each country classifies certain crimes and compiles their figs.

The UN website claims that homicide figs are one of the safer for drawing accurate comparisons as there is very little difference how different countries classify this crime.

You can see straight away from the fact that South Africa is apparently less violent than the UK that any comparisons on those figs are completely flawed. Only an utter moron would believe that the UK is more violent than the SA.

If one country has a much higher murder rate than another you can bet your bottom dollar it will also be an all round more violent country. The US has a far, far higher murder rate than the UK.


Our US figures are severely skewed by things like organized crime, and gangs, (criminals killing criminals), our boarder with Mexico, etc...

Larger and more diverse than the countries being compared.  Something like comparing a small town to the big city.  

Guns are banned in Russia and Brazil and they're homicide rate is much higher.

On first sight they do have pretty faces, but their eyes indicate their inner coldness, which isn't a typical Dutch fenomen, it's a Middle-Northern Europe thing.

I never mentioned guns but I would guess Brazil and Russia are overall more violent countries than the US, but I would also bet your murder rate would be much more in line with western europe if you had similar gun control laws.

Plus Russians hunt with arrows because guns are banned   ;D  ::)

Plus presence of North Caucasus with islamist militants doesn't have anything to do with those Russian figures - which are btw about twice the rate of USA whereas USA has around 4-times the rate of EU-countries.

The chickens came home to roost, plain and simple. Poor minorities who's countries have been completely fucked up by hundreds of years of British colonialism came to the U.K for a better life.

Poor people are the one's that commit the most crimes even in countries that are homogenous. Any "liberal guilt" the British may have causing them to deal with the problem less severely is well deserved.

Historically, Great Britain has a lot to answer for and if karma does exist things will get worse for them before they get better.

There are always exceptions, but in general yes. I've noticed the same coldness/reserved attitude at Scandinavian women. Compare them with Spanish, Italian or South American women, they have warmth, passion & joie de vivre in their eyes, must be the climate in those countries  8)

The Soviet Union were probably the biggest contributors to Germany's defeat.

The Germans had better weapons, vehicles (on a technical level) and training but the Soviets could just send waves of cannon fodder to die in suicide attacks while at the same mass-producing cruder tanks and vehicles which were deadly in massed attacks.

Every tank and plane the Germans made were precision made but required much more maintenance, technically better, but if they could produce a hundred, then the Soviets could produce a thousand.

Indeed many Americans have not been to the uk, or outside America, they only know what their tv shows them of ridiculous characters like emily from friends, or that exaggerated cardboard cut-out english woman on the e channel. I have been to America a few times, I had a great time, it's a great country with many fine attributes and I'd love to go back, but i would say the press is anything but 'free'.

outside of America countries with more than 150 years history exist, a truer sense of liberation, education, depth etc do exist. I find Italy, France, Croatia, Germany etc have a philosophical, contemplatative, relaxed way of life on the whole, which has a lot of merit. What America has is tons of cool stuff! In the scheme of culture, the history of literature and art it is a dot, but it does have the coolest films, the coolest music (well arguably England has the most influencial bands ever) but the COOLEST stuff is American. It is shallow but very attractive. Just frustrating that intellectually so many Americans have zero awareness of their place in the world and the history of civilisation.

I attended university with some Americans, they were very good at reciting english literature, intelligent in the sense of remembering things, but in my opinion somewhat lacking in original thought. Pledging allegiance to stuff comes naturally, independent thought, contemplating outside of the box, and overall awareness of the world the us is perhaps slightly behind other cultures, the great European cultures etc. I would never say my country is the greatest, Socrates never said he was the most intelligent, but I'm pretty sure most americans think there is nothing of significance outside of US soil. There can be a 'world series' that only involves the US etc, half mad really, but certainly very COOL.

Mr Doom, you do realise that the royal family have no power and are only there to generate income from fat american tourists don't you?

We actually have a government which is voted for by the people in a fair and democratic way. Ordinary people running the country (with a few millionares thrown in). It's the same with all the other true free democracies in the world.

You Americans on the other hand have a fake freedom and democracy which our british grandfathers who wrote the constitution deliberately set up control the minds of the average american. This is why you have low education levels and 99.9 % of you work until you die so that 0.1% make all the money.
The british and rothschilds have been controling your minds since 1776.

USA has no democracy or freedom. You are controlled by the elite. When was the last time you had an ordinary man become president? Anyone can become president as long as they have multi million dollar backing and press manipulation behind them.  Now you have a half black british man placed as your president because we decided that is what you would have for some unknown political reason. To quiten the muslems maybe. And the republican candidate was selected so that obama was sure to get a second term.  This way you pea brained americans would think you had elected him in a democratic way.  :)

And yet the little people like mr Doom think you live in a democracy?    ::) ::) ::)

In a true democracy like the other western countries the citizens do not buy assault rifles to defent agains their own democratically elected government.

I love brunettes also.  But don't go for the blonde hate.  Besides most "blondes" that the average man talks about are just brunettes with blond hair dye.

No hating here, but I think that blondes are a bit overrated, prob because they look sexy & outgoing. Brunettes tend to look more mysterious, reserved and intelligent.

Well, I think it is not quite that simple. Also remember most so called blondes are artificial blondes (brunettes with hair dye) and they tend to have a certain look that I do not like sexually, but it is a bold standout look.  I think natural blondes + brunettes can be both stunning, and warm/mysterious + intelligent.

Mr Doom, you do realise that the royal family have no power and are only there to generate income from fat american tourists don't you?

We actually have a government which is voted for by the people in a fair and democratic way. Ordinary people running the country (with a few millionares thrown in). It's the same with all the other true free democracies in the world.

You Americans on the other hand have a fake freedom and democracy which our british grandfathers who wrote the constitution deliberately set up control the minds of the average american. This is why you have low education levels and 99.9 % of you work until you die so that 0.1% make all the money.
The british and rothschilds have been controling your minds since 1776.

USA has no democracy or freedom. You are controlled by the elite. When was the last time you had an ordinary man become president? Anyone can become president as long as they have multi million dollar backing and press manipulation behind them.  Now you have a half black british man placed as your president because we decided that is what you would have for some unknown political reason. To quiten the muslems maybe. And the republican candidate was selected so that obama was sure to get a second term.  This way you pea brained americans would think you had elected him in a democratic way.  :)

And yet the little people like mr Doom think you live in a democracy?     ::) ::) ::)

In a true democracy like the other western countries the citizens do not buy assault rifles to defent agains their own democratically elected government.

In the USA the clever ones do because they realise they are living in a  sham democracy with no true freedom.


I dont think I live in a democracy...because I don't...I live in a Republic.  I thought the English were supposed to be smart?  Or maybe they substitute pretension for learning.

Oh, and we've had a couple of Presidents arise from the common man.  I think you'll remember one in particular.  His name was Andrew Jackson.  He made his bones at the Battle of New Orleans ending England's second pathetic attempt to constrain free men.  Seriously, when is the last time you guys won a battle...not even a war...just a battle?  Maybe if your armed forces spent more time practicing and less time buggering you'd improve.  Sound advice for your National Football team too.

Gotta give you that it's good the term of president is only 4 years in USA.
It's 6 years in Finland although president doesn't have even remotely as much power.

Switzerland might be the most democratic country in the world.
I'm not expert on their system but what I've read it's pretty unique, in a good way. Most laws for example are passed by popular vote and 'head of state' acts only for 1 year.

The Romans still called themselves a 'Republic' too right till their dying days in the West haha

When there only two parties, which are virtually identical and two candidates to choose from....not quite ideal.

And when those two groups are basically backed by the same people.....also not quite so ideal.

I'm not to familiar with life in Belgium, but I was just randomly comparing US States to European countries and found that Belgium has a higher homicide rate than most US States.  Guns are banned in Belgium.

What's that all about?

Basically, most US States are inline with European countries.  Our gun violence stats are skewed by states that need to workout other issues.

I like how in our republic, the Presidential office separates the executive and legislative functions... It provides for a greater system of "checks and balances" than the Parliamentary process where the Prime Minister is a part of legislature and and answers to them.

I also like how we vote separately for that office where in the Parliament they appoint the Prime Minister.

Individual rights, and self determination.

The freedom to completely run your own life, individual sovereignty like no other country.  I like Socialism for Europe, but I have a real problem with our politicians trying to mimic it, that's not who we are.  I want us to continue on the path where people can become rich, or completely fail based on their own life decisions.

I don't think it's a matter of better, or worse.  I just hope a place like the US where you can run your own life without government interference (economically, socially, etc) continues to exist.

then there are the saints of the religion, the founding fathers and the thousands of bullshit books and hagiographies published every year about these provincial hicks going through the same bullshit stories that sell like hot cakes

It sounds like you subscribe to some sort of magical fantasy vision of our country.

Economic mobility is greater in Canada and much of Europe than in the United States, median real incomes in our country are lower than 40 years ago, the U.S. government denies rights based on sexual orientation (unlike Canada and much of Europe), has made a definite shift towards authoritarianism with the extension of the Patriot Act and the hardening of enhanced executive power under GWB (e.g., an ever-increasing reliance on executive orders), wages a war against its own population, resulting in the highest incarceration rates on the planet (unlike Europe, which generally takes a treatment-based approach to drugs), has a tandem with elites in the corporate world who yield an unprecedented control over American minds via the television (Americans watch roughly 5 hours a day on average), and its state/local governments are installing cameras on every corner, deploying drones in the sky, and in general importing more and more military tactics back home to control the population.

That's not to say there aren't great things about the country, nor that the problems listed can't be improved upon to varying degrees. But perpetuation of the orgasmic "freedom" fantasy apparent in your post can only do harm to the extent that it inoculates people to the need for change and to the extent that it fosters utterly ridiculous beliefs like the notion that our center-right politicians are implementing anything remotely like socialism.

wouldn't want to get in this..... But isn't USA more violent and more criminal than basically any of these  "EU-countries" despite the supposed fear planted in criminals ?
I mean in America there is death penalty which doesn't exist in any other normal country, people have plenty of guns, overall punishments are much harder, more people sit in prisons etc.

wikip gives for example following murder-rates:

USA 4.8
Denmark 0.9
Finland 2.2     (shameful figure but warrior-blood from Volga still sits in us somewhat)
Norway 0.6
Sweden 1.0
UK 1.2
Greece 1.5
Italy 0.9
Portugal 1.2
Spain 0.8
Germany 0.8
Netherlands 1.1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate#By_country

You can see that US is on whole different planet.
Of course these are murder rates but I recall other crimes follow pretty much the same statistics.

Stop here. Read what I wrote above a couple of times. and then keep reading

OK back on track

what i am trying very hard to do is to make a point by asking you to step outside your box while keeping you in familiar territory so that i dont loose you completely

Imagine a brazilian guy tells you that the constitution brazil approved when they became independent in the 1820s was this fabulous document . so good indeed that even after 200 years the whole thing cant be improved upon and must be followed to the letter. Imagine he then tells you heroic stories about the people that wrote said constitution and how they were extraordinary human beings- A golden golden generation- which they call; say the Independence saints.who despite the fact that they like anyone were products of their time, could write timeless laws, and were so fascinating that justifiably so thousands of books have been produced documenting the smallest aspects of their lives for whivh there is a never ending audience , like biographies of catholic saints

etc etc

How would you react to this guy's story? I suspect you would think: fuck me this guy is like a north korean or a friend of Tom's (yes Cruise- Scientology... capisce?) , who the fuck can believe that; look at brazil's history. look at history in general, things change so fast ,

Imagine he then tells you heroic stories about the people that wrote said constitution and how they were extraordinary human beings- A golden golden generation- which they call; say the Independence saints.who despite the fact that they like anyone were products of their time, could write timeless laws, and were so fascinating that justifiably so thousands of books have been produced documenting the smallest aspects of their lives for whivh there is a never ending audience , like biographies of catholic saints

etc etc

How would you react to this guy's story? I suspect you would think: fuck me this guy is like a north korean or a friend of Tom's (yes Cruise- Scientology... capisce?) , who the fuck can believe that; look at brazil's history. look at history in general, things change so fast ,


do you get it now??????????????????????
 
No... I would certainly not think that.

Mostly because our constitution HAS been changed... That's what amendments do... They change the constitution... There are however some t hings in the constitution that you do not fuck with... specifically when things are written in VERY specific ways.


PS... P-I-P and I are on no level the same person... For you to even entertain such a notion is ridiculous.

"Look at me. I was born in this X country and not in Y country!"

Wow! What an accomplishment. You must have worked so hard to be born in X country. We're all super proud of your accomplishment.

You're a product of your parents Garebear.  There actually is a good reason you are who you are, where you are, when you are.

Not only that, but many of us feel FORTUNATE that we were born in the US... We certainly don't mind visiting other places, but I'm damn lucky to be a US citizen... To not have been born in the killing fields of Burma, or the slums of India, or the wretched areas of Africa.

Sure, we aren't special for being born here, but that doesn't mean we can't be grateful that we were.

Fair enough.

But a lot of Americans think it gives them the right to look down on other people.

I see it all the time.

Why are you so sensitive to so called injustice, racism, sexism, homophobia, and general political incorrectness? ???

No offense, I'm sincerely curious?  Maybe we could learn something from you?

Actually I recently read an intriguing book that addresses just this question.

Here is a link to it. - http://www.amazon.com/The-Righteous-Mind-Politics-Religion/dp/0307377903

One major point of the book is that liberals will be more outraged over perceived injustice and conservatives will be more outraged over someone cheating the system/ getting a free ride.

A lot of other interesting points in there as well.

I guess your question essentially boils down to a nature vs. nurture question, however. My honest answer to that is that I have no idea, but the truth, as it usually does, probably lies somewhere in the middle.
