you are correct... however - on a global scale, the definition of various crimes may vary slightly.

Yes for this thread is really constructive...what is the purpose of this thread again? I cannot see a clear starting point at the first post, from which we can discuss anything of importance/relevance to anything.

Using that definition, we can see Biggles classifies any thread on Subsim to be irrelevant.

No. More often than not the poster tries to prove a point while inviting people to discuss it. I see nothing here but a random statement and then little progress to clear up the questions that arises.

It is impossible to prove a negative. Just saying. Perhaps it would be easier to prove the premise wrong.

For the first page maybe. I am not trying to prove a point either. I made a statement, but that has little to do with the what the post is about - violent crime in the western world. Read the title again. Am I not allowed to throw out a comment about it? Sheesshhh. The post Nazi is back.

You still haven't answered my question back on post #26:

You are 100% sure this would be the reason? Would you please give us proof/information that supports your view in this matter?

Should I expect an answer or should I forget it?

Let's see. Your embassy over here says that the current violent crime rate in the US is 20 crimes per 1000 citizens.: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/viort.htm

The police in the UK registered 1,158,957 violent crimes in 2007 . http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/por...lent_crime.pdf
1,158,957 divided by 60,578,000 people equals in a rate of: 0.0191316 cases per citizen or 19.1316 cases per 1000 citizens.

As the European police report indicates the UK numbers are outstandingly high in western Europe. In countries like Germany with strict weapon restrictions the crime rate is much lower. We have only 217,923 crimes for ca. 82,000,000 people equalling in a crime rate of 2,6 violent crimes per 1000 people.

I made a suggestion. Maybe you should study it? Post Nazi.

Maybe you should stop calling people for Post Nazis and give a proper answer? Never mind, I don't care anymore...

Firearms are allowed in Germany. Not even cops can take their firearms home in the UK. BTW, where is Germany on this list?

Thats good, because I lost interest in your posts a long time ago when you forbid me from making comments in my posts.
