Re: America is one sick place!
When it comes to the US it is people will be people, and its in human nature to kill, rape and plunder? Lot of these convicted criminals are now joining the US army so they can kill, rape and plunder legally across the world.
A developed country means that people are generally better educated, better paid, have access to justice, the state has more resources and is better organised, therefore less crimes should be taking place. Its sad that people are justifying crime in the US by saying “Oh at least we aren’t as bad as some third world country”. But even this statement is debatable as living in the US you will feel safer compared to living in a third world country because there is a system in place, however the fact is there is more crime, so much so that we don’t even bother to notice it around us until we pick up a copy of the local paper.
