And verily, didst owl <owl@rooftop.invalid> hastily babble thusly: > You see, the problem is that you are ignoring the fact that murders are > predominantly an inner-city gang-related problem in the US, and much > more tied to centers of high population density. I came across a stat > the other day that observed iirc that US has about 180 cities with a > population greater than 200,000, while UK has only about 50 at that level. 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. > This is also interesting: > http://www.nationmaster.com/compare/United-Kingdom/United-States/Crime > <quote> > Crime stats: United Kingdom vs United States > British Crime stats American Crime stats > Assault victims 2.8% 1.2% > Drug offences 183,419 per 100,000 people 560.1 per 100,000 people > > [WTF! But believable!] Dunno why you needed to exclaim wtf there. Why is it surprising? > Perception of safety > Walking in dark 70% 82% That's a meaningless statistic unless they detailed how was asked and how many... not to mention where. -- | |What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack| | spike1@freenet.co.uk |in the ground beneath a giant boulder, which you| | |can't move, with no hope of rescue. | | Andrew Halliwell BSc |Consider how lucky you are that life has been | | in |good to you so far... | | Computer Science | -The BOOK, Hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy.|
