BTW ...I wish people would actually look up statistics and do some research before forming opinions.
Statistics can be and are regularly “massaged” so back up one’s opinion. I found a web site that shows the USA is 24th in homicide rate….when compared world wide. If you compare France to USA ( I picked it randomly) their homicide rate is lower, but overall crime is the same and WOW look at those suicide rates!! Especially among the elderly…I guess they don’t take care of the old folks over there…..but there I go ASSUMING again……
