You can't be that stupid can you ........? BUFDRVR "Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it harelips everyone on Bear Creek" Never, ever underestimate the stupidity of the human race. You only have to read a few of the posts on here to see the truth in that. BSEG Oh lookie here, another pig-ignorant moron shooting off his suckhole ... -- Proof the U$$A is the "greatest" nation on earth: Prisoners (per 1,000 people) United States 4.2 United Kingdom 1.0 Germany 0.8 France 0.8 Austria 0.8 Spain 0.8 Switzerland 0.7 Denmark 0.7 Belgium 0.7 Italy 0.6 Sweden 0.6 Japan 0.4 Netherlands 0.4 Annual reports of police brutality (per 100,000 people) United States 92.5 United Kingdom 6.0 France 0.7 Death row inmates United States 2,124 Japan 38 All others 0 Murder rate (per 100,000 people) United States 8.40 Canada 5.45 Denmark 5.17 France 4.60 Portugal 4.50 Australia 4.48 Germany 4.20 Belgium 2.80 Spain 2.28 Switzerland 2.25 Italy 2.18 Norway 1.99 United Kingdom 1.97 Austria 1.80 Greece 1.76 Sweden 1.73 Japan 1.20 Ireland 0.96 Finland 0.70 Murder rate for males age 15-24 (per 100,000 people) United States 24.4 Canada 2.6 Sweden 2.3 Norway 2.3 Finland 2.3 Denmark 2.2 United Kingdom 2.0 Netherlands 1.2 Germany 0.9 Japan 0.5 Rape (per 100,000 people) United States 37.20 Sweden 15.70 Denmark 11.23 Germany 8.60 Norway 7.87 United Kingdom 7.26 Finland 7.20 France 6.77 Switzerland 6.15 Luxembourg 5.00 Spain 4.43 Austria 4.40 Belgium 4.00 Greece 2.40 Ireland 1.72 Japan 1.40 Portugal 1.20 Armed robbery (per 100,000 people) United States 221 Canada 94 France 90 Belgium 66 United Kingdom 63 Italy 50 Sweden 49 Germany 47 Ireland 46 Denmark 44 Finland 38 Switzerland 23 Norway 22 Greece 7 Japan 1 TYPE OF OFFENSE (Sentenced Pop. Only) - Federal Prisoners Drug Offenses 59.6% Robbery 9.8% Property Offenses 5.5% Extortion, Fraud, Bribery 6.8% Violent Offenses 2.7% Firearms, Explosives, Arson 8.6% White Collar 1.0% Immigration 2.8% Courts or Corrections 0.8% National Security 0.1% Continuing Criminal Enterprise 0.8% Miscellaneous 1.5% THE INTERNATIONAL EVIDENCE The U.S. is the most violent society in the industrialized world, and probably the entire world as well. Although it doesn't have the most police per capita, the U.S. does have the toughest laws and punishments by far. The question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, is becoming much less relevant as time passes; the U.S. has been following this "get tough" approach for decades, with no significant reduction of its violent crime rate. |
