I guess I'm talking to...America, about the fact that the numbers show that they breed law-breakers and it would seem prudent for them to stop...breaking the law.

O.K. this coming from an Australian, which took in the prisoners from England and a large % of the people living there today are descended from those "law breakers"

Anyway, did you bother 2 watch any of the video at all Jhereko ?

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say no, you did not.

And what place did we come on the list?...103rd? huh, guess we learnt our lesson a long time ago. We're more law-abiding than Luxembourg! Laughing

And no GARY I didn't watch the video, but I did try just then (even though im in no way obliged too) but I can't on my phone. But the picture of the guy with the epicly sad face did make me laugh, hard.

O.K. well, 2 give you the gist of the video (and what I've discovered from other sources) the reason the U.S. has 1/4 of the worlds prison population is not that Americans are mostly psychotic killers and such.

The reason is the same as most other things in America.

And the love of it.

I'm sorry doesn't it cost quite a bit of money for someone to be in prison? I'm a little confused here.

Do you think there's still quite a lot of crime on the streets?
