GREAT!!!!

Crime In Different Countries Compared


A study on the economics of crime and punishment provides some interesting comparisons between developments in the United States and a selection of industrialized countries --England and Wales, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Canada and Australia.

Among these countries, the United States had the slowest increase in the overall rate of crimes reported to police between 1987 and 1992, at 7 percent, while England and Wales, for example, experienced a 44 percent increase.

Surveys of victims -- which includes crimes not reported -- found the overall crime rate in the U.S. fell 13 percent between 1988 and 1991 while rising in other countries, with England and Wales having the greatest increase, 56 percent.

Crime victimization in the U.S. was highest among these nations in 1988, with 28.8 percent of people claiming they had been victims of crime during the last 12 months, but by 1991 was the third lowest, at 25.1 percent.

Maybe if England had more guns there would be more CRIMINALS killed and less crime. This is to the Brit who was talking high and mighty. BTW, his statistics were wrong too.

message understood but way off base

Yesterday I wrote a very long detailed review of the gun control flash yesterday along with a plea to Tom to stop letting anything that is Political minded (outside of parody) in NG. When I went to send it my lousy server messed up. Now I can get up on my soap box again. We have an undeniable right in this country to be able to posess fire arms, It is one of the first rights we were given. However, It is necessary for us to monitor who has guns and decide Who should and should not have guns. We license people to drive, We expect them to have photo ID's to be able to operate one, we make laws that people who own a car MUST have insurance, there are even laws that state that people MUST wear seat belts for THEIR OWN safety. I havent heard anybody complaining that this cuts into their "personal freedom". It is the right thing to do. We dont want some psycopath out there running children off the roads, so we test them , if they dont pass, they dont drive. If they do drive without a license the penalties are HARSH!! Now think about guns..... We have a right to protect ourselves, yes. But a gun IN THE WRONG HANDS is just as dangerous (some would say moreso) than some idiot behind the wheel. I believe in gun control and firearm EDUCATION. It is not taking away our freedom. It is making the world safer for us. True there are criminals that will still get guns REGARDLESS just as there are people who drive without a licence. But if we monitor who buys guns and decide whether a person SHOULD be able to own a gun. I do not consider myself a Liberal or Conservative, I have views that are from both sides of political ideology. But you have to admit they like to prey on peoples fears (be you a right wing nut or Left wing freak) gun control isnt about taking law abiding citizens guns away. And its not about ridding the underworld of guns (that is an impossible feat) It is about making sure that as few people as possible that SHOULDNT have guns DONT have guns. Now that Ive bored you all with my long winded speech, I once again plead to Tom... Please DONT let NG get involved with political issues. I come here to escape the "real world". I have to deal with politics in the news, at school and life in general. And while I am a news and political JUNKIE. I come here to escape all of that. The NG community shouldnt be divided by political views. They should just be divided on whether or not they hate Stick men movies. Peace.

the great debate...

i dont really think that this place is the proper place for political discusion, oh well its still a semi-free country so do what you wish. now everybody say it with me now GUNS DONT KILL PEOPLE, MURDERS' KILL PEOPLE. hopefully sometime soon all those who are misguided in this manner will stop look beyond what they are set in beleaveing. please open your eyes and just try expanding your horizens a little. oh and for all those that who beleive that buying a firearm is as easy as buying a pack of batteries, HAVE YOU EVEN TRIED TO BY A GUN? not only do you have to fill out and submit to a back ground check, in many places you must have a permit to own a pistol. and dont think that machine guns are a dime a dozen either, as far as i know its pretty much immpossible to own on at all any more. NOW FOR THE ACTUALLY MOVIE REVEIW: good message and all, but this movie is rather lacking in quality of sound and graphics. but good job all around

From across the pond.....

This movie has brought up an exellent point for debate. We all have a right to our views, if you americans want to keep your guns thats fine with me, but how do you define a "bad guy" or a "bad person," they might think the same of you.

The second ammendment states: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed," to me that seems to
refer to the army or the police, not individuals. Guns are part of the problem, but not all of it, they give people the method of taking others lives, and I think that if this method were removed then america would be safer, what you need to do is find a way to encourge so called "Bad Guys" to give up their arms, after all they are human to.

You can agree or disagree with me on this and of you do or dont i respect you for you views.

(oh yea on last thing, SpikeHarlem why would you vote in a government that you feel vunerable to, america is a democracy, and you're right guns arnt bad, they're tools to be used in whatever way the user wans to use it)
