Corn, you live in the Excited States, what's your take?
70 (UK) vs 9369 (USA) = 134 TIMES the number of murders-by-fire-arm per capita!!Per wrote:
In 2002 a total of 9,369 people were murdered with fire arms in the USA.
In the same year a total of 14 people were murdered with fire arms in the UK.
Now, in all fairness, this comparisson is misleading, as the US is much bigger than the UK. The USA has almost 314 million people and the UK only 63 million.
To make the numbers comparable, we must therefor multiply the British figure by 5.
5 x 14 = 70
Still slightly lower than 9,369.

But in fact the number of MURDERS per capita in USA is only 3 or 4 times the number in the UK:

So I guess Blobby was right: There must be alotta Brits beating each other to death over soccer matches.
Personally I'd rather "take one to the head" but to each their own.
BTW Per, your site says there are more assaults per capita in Sweden than USA:

So are you chaps merely beating each other half to death (senseless) or what?
Your site also says, NOW GET THIS, there are 163 TIMES the number of rapes in Sweden as USA!!

One might argue that if there were more gunplay in the streets you fuckers might toe the line a little better.
Wot?
Yep, if I was Per I would be more worried about all of those rapists without protection on their helmet rather than the kids riding their bikes without helmets for protection.ODB wrote:Rape statistics in Sweden...
