Musuko42 Male, 18-29, Europe 2092 Posts	Friday, March 11, 2011 3:47:08 AM @MeGrendel From your figures: UK's contact crime rate: 89% higher. UK`s burglary crime rate: 50% higher. UK`s auto thefts crime rate: 19% higher. USA`s murder rate: 285% higher! I`ll take my slightly higher rate of crimes that don`t KILL me, rather than your catastrophically higher murder rate, thank you very much.

I mean if someone`s serious about killing themselves, they`d go for the easiest way possible (firearms), but if that`s not an option it`s still no going to discourage someone who`s serious. What I did learn though was that the suicide rate in both countries are the same. That I actually did not know.

Your entire post was `This data does not support my position so we must ask every concievable question about the data.` Other facts: % of people experiencing (by country) Contact Crime: UK 3.6% - US 1.9% Burglary: UK 3.9% - US 2.6% Auto Thefts: UK 2.5% - US 2.1% So, crime itself is not necessarily less in the UK. Granted, murders are higher in the United States with a rate of 5.0 per 100K (UK`s is 1.3), which is high enough to put the US in the top 100 countries (not the top 10, 25 or even 50, though).
