In case Scott doesn't like the NZ stats, here are some from
Australia...

Homicides per 100,000 population - average per year 1998 to 2000

USA 5.87
New Zealand 2.28
Sweden 2.06
Australia 1.87
Canada 1.79
England & Wales 1.50
Netherlands 1.40
Germany 1.19
Denmark 1.00


So, for me, these statistics beg the question: WHY? Why is the
muder
rate so much higher in the USA? Are there extenuating factors?

Hmmm.....

[in the case of Canada we know, of course, that hundreds of
people
are
murdered every year by the state -- waiting in medical treatment
lines

So frtwz, are you acknowledging on KMANs behalf that rick is
correct in
what he has been claiming? Now can we all move on? GRIN TnT

Tinkerntom, I'm actually surprised that a man of your high moral
stands has
not jumped in to criticize rick for being a liar and a coward. Why
is
that?

I learned in my bar fighting days, that if it's not my fight, there
is
nothing gained by getting my nose broke! You and rick look to be
having
a good dance, so I don't see no cause to cut in! TnT

I got to thinking, I could offer to hold your hat though, if that'll
make you feel better! TnT
