LOL. You and the rest of Europe would be sieg-heiling today if it werent' for the blood of our servicemen. Nice try. At least Americans try to do something unlike the Dutch. Their thumbs are not just in the dikes.


>>Its not that the US is any more criminal or not, its that we have a greater population, ergo more criminals. A price we pay for freedom.

>Since when do you have freedom ?? Huh, you know the president is tapping your phones..
>I can't remember the day that the US had a free press?? Do you know what the word freedom means ?? Anyways the US as a far higher RATE of criminals than other western countries. It is a fact. Get over it, or else vote for a president that is willing to do something about it.

>>>Do you know how much it costs to execute one in the US ?? You could prison someone for the rest of his life for less. A far better punishment anyways. Death often is a too easy way out.

>>>But on the other hand you're right. There are too many criminals in the US. If you compare it to any other western country, the US is far more criminal. It is time for a president who is focussing on that problem and try to lower crime rates. A president that has the courage to do something about it.
