Oh dear SnotPix, you are slated by other members, proven wrong with fact and yet you will not let the scales drop from your eyes.

If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest man alive. End of.

Crime stats(Homicide only) world League table

France is in Europe isn't? Portugal? Italy, Belgium?

Now you know what you must do.....you seemed to enjoy baiting everyone else, now face up to the fact that your statement was baseless rubbish.

Oh, right, I forgot that homicide is the only kind of crime. You are truly desperate and pathetic.

Check out the other valid links he posted, check out my post to you, you calculate it and then you can go away silently...

The only thing anyone posted is a table of 6 to 8 year old homicide rates. If you can't find the problem here I will make a personal donation to the Swedish ministry of education since it obviously has problems.

EDIT: Yes, mine is 1997-1999. This table that can be found with a Yahoo search is from . . . 1993. Try again. You can't strike out here.

Listen to The Man

😛

You want a translation?

Negative. I think it's just common courtesy to speak english

Even though we are both swedish, and talking to eachother... we are on an american forum and you are perfectly right...

I agree to that too. Just wanted to be ignorant for a while.

I am totally serious. If this is the best that you guys can do -- and it seems that it is -- then the Swedish educational system has problems. I am going to send your Minister of Education and Science a $10 check earmarked for higher education in the liberal arts. The address I found is

Ministry of Education and Science
Drottninggatan 16
103 33 Stockholm
Sweden

Is that correct?

Europe ain't so "lilly white" these days - Even back in the 70's when my grandma still lived in paris she remembered when she got out of one metro station and then the police stopped her and asked her what she was doing and apparently there was a confrontation with some arabs in that neighbourhood - so even back then it wasn't "lilly" white.
I would be willing to bet there are more blacks, asians, arabs, and hispanics in Michigan than in the whole of Europe.

unless you have statistics, don't assume one way or the other. Besides, what does that matter in the end? Sounds racist to me. Maybe they don't have as many problems with minorities for other reasons, like not as many illegal immigrants etc?

So even back then europe wasn't lilly white because your grandmother was stopped by the police? 😕

wtf? did you miss the part about the confrontation with arabs? My grandmother is German.
 
There is no city in Europe that even compares to the cesspool named Detroit. The reason why Europe is getting more dangerous is not necessarily that the Europeans are getting violent, its mostly immigrants from Turkey, Albania, Africa, and the middle east. I guess the Europeans leftist attitudes is biting them in the rear with there light immigration policy. This is why there is a resurgence in right wingers like Le Pan because people are getting sick of all the troublemaker immigrants turning cities in crime havens.

Mostly you have just been regurgitating what others have said and have actually posted very little of substance, but I have in fact already shown evidence that Sweden's crime rate is higher than the United States's crime rate. Next.

What I've seen was something like 1. something for Sweden and 5. something for USA per 100,000. How is Sweden's higher?

Man, though I don't wanna disagree with you, but honestly, you make an impression of a man that believes everything TV or Newspaper tells you. You provide facts from the "OP/ED" section of a Newspaper. That's the writers opinion man, come on!

That is HOMICIDE rate. I never claimed that Sweden's homicide rate is higher than ours. I claimed that Swedens overall crime rate is higher and I gave evidence to support my claim.

I actually have no idea what you are talking about now. Do tell.

EDIT: By the way, it took me less than a minute to find that address.

Sorry, but I must have missed that evidence.
But just a side note. If the homicide rate is 4 times higher in the USA than in Sweden, than in common sense and in general, USA will have higher crime rate.

Here's an example: I said before not to trust everything the TV says but here's something in perticular. We all know these shows like 'COPS', 'POLICE VIDEOS' and similar right? That's the ones where a camera man rides along with a cop inside a cruiser and is dispatched to a crime scene every night a few times. Crime is so popular that they made a TV Show about it 🙂.
