Texas is like 9 murders per capita, that's pre 90s violence right there.
It's halfway between the others.

Urm, Texas doesn't have like 9 murders per capita.
Texas 2010 4.9 2011 4.4
Michigan 2010 5.9 2011 6.2
New Jersey 2010 4.2 2011 4.3
Louisiana 2010 11.0 2011 11.2
Idaho 2010 1.4 2011 2.3
California 2010 4.8 2011 4.8
Oregon 2010 2.5 2011 2.1
Puerto Rico 2010 26.2 2011 30.6
Seems to be, there much more to this than just gun laws.

Third world murder rates...I think N.O. is the worst in the US, right?
yeah, here we go:

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
Hate to say it but what do all these cities have in common?

I like mother jones n all, but sometimes 'the left' really scews shit around. Was watching DemocracyNow and Amy Goodman's like, "The police killed this guy and shot 46 times! 46 times!!!"
I was like, god damn! They shot this otherfucker 46 times?
And, only later, unrelated, found out they shot 46 times, and missed 44. Basically it was a shootout with the guy running and shooting back. They shot the building all those times or something. Totally misleading bullshit on her part. And a few other times as well...whatever.

Japan is such a funny country though, no one owns guns and nobody gets hurt
Can't say the same about the Americas though.

Again, I think it's a deeper thing. Japan also has crazy hoops to jump through to move there, right?
It's also ...fuck. can't find a cost of living comparison btwn US / Japan, but I'd bet it's way more expensive as well. Same reason San Francisco has less crime than Oakland. Just price out all the wonderful riff raff. Crime tends to be cultural and also tied to poverty. Japa is not afraid to use capital punishment, as well, and prosecutes even small time shit like marijuana possession seriously. Kinda fucked up, iyam.
In general, comparing countries can be very tricky and misleading unless you take into account a ton of variables.

Illegal drugs, in general, are way overrated. (or vilified, depends...)
Legalization would have so many people realizing that heroin and coke have a lot of(ill suited) rebellious 'glamour'...nothing sadder than a mother, hugging her child close and doing a rail behind her head. As I saw one of my HS friends do. Not the worst that's been seen on these boards, I'm sure. But, shit is just soul sucking. it was depressing enough for me...
TG I'm not genetically susceptible to addiction with those drugs.

I really can't get addicted to something unless I have someone physically there telling me to smoke.
