[@Andreyich] [color=ed1c24][b]AND that was the only crime I ever experienced there. Despite the extremely high poverty of Eastern Europe I've only been beaten thrice and twice it was kind of my own fault for being a drunkard. In America I've had shit stolen from me repeatedly, and also got in a few fights.[/b][/color] Okay, from just that example. In Europe you were beaten, not just assaulted, but beaten...but it sounds like bar brawls? So that leads to is this where all the crime is taking place? When your drunk? You get drunk a bar and when you wake up the next morning your money is missing? Cuz uh, I have explanations for that. :P Where in America was this exactly? And you consider yourself "racist", but racist toward what exactly? Or is it a wide range of things? <.< Because america isn't getting more violent. Violent crime has fallen by 51 percent since 1991, and property crime by 43 percent. In 2013 the violent crime rate was the lowest since 1970. And many places of Europe have higher burglary/theft and assault crimes. Like I think I know where this is going, and I'll comment about it when we cross that road. But I've been assaulted and mugged as well, but I'm not sure if it changed any of my social or political opinions. I guess aside from most crime isn't punished well enough. <.<
