The original argument was about a *political* direction. So it's a completely different form of "movement".

Umm, right. Nice attempt at dodging the point.

And how long do you think that growth will continue? And even with the current growth it'll take quite some time for the Danish crime rates to reach US levels.

It doesn't matter - one would think the point would be to slow the growth.

Now you're taking neighbourhoods in the picture. We're not talking about those now. I'm pretty sure you'd be safe in the Presidential Palace of Sudan as well, even though Sudan is one of the world's most dangerous countries.

I thought the point was one of being safe, but I guess one must continue to disregard the opposition's points if one has no real argument against them.

Thus insinuating the US way is better. Why would you not want to go the Danish way if you think the Danish way is better?

Sensitve are we?

Personally I rather live in a country with a lower crime rate than in a country with a high one. But if you prefer to get assaulted/murdered/etc., be my guest.

The point I made earlier was the I personally rather live in a safe area of a country with a higher crime rate than a dangerous area in a country with a lower crime rate.

But you know how all of us Americans are just getting assaulted and murdered, right?

So if you claim something in a small sentence, I may not counter that claim because it is not in a large run-on sentence?
Your claim was flawed. What the context was doesn't matter. A flawed claim doesn't suddenly get true if you change the context.

The claim was not flawed - it was incomplete until you put it into the context of the paragraph.

But even then, please enlighten us as to how crime statistics are gathered and reported exactly the same way in every nation. Can't? Then the claim was not flawed.

However, it's IMPACT would have been negligible in the context of the discussion ... should the following sentences have been ommitted.

But hey - why know what you're talking about when you can just argue, right?

Centered on what topic? Crime prevention? I have never mentioned the word "crime prevention" until you came up with it.

Now you're putting unrelated sentences together.

How long do you think the current growth will continue? Forever?

Unknown, but it isn't inconcievable that a nation's crime rate could exceed another nation's. Or is Denmark just better than everyone else and immune from such problems?

Who'd know though? As you said, knowing the contributing factors to crime in a nation with a higher rate isn't important.

Unless your physics show something I am not aware of, growths/increases tend to slow down and stabilize.

Physics? Wrong discussion.
