So what you're saying is...

That the UK has 50 cities of >200,000 compared to the USA which has an area
over 45 times that of the uk...

IE. The UK is VASTLY more densly populated than the USA...

And yet our murder rate, with all of us crammed so tightly together, is a
quarter of yours.

Shows we're much more civilised than you, so what if there's a few more
punchups and insulting remarks? It's to be expected.

Dunno why you needed to exclaim wtf there. Why is it surprising?

That's a meaningless statistic unless they detailed how was asked and how
many... not to mention where.
