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

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?
