The stats don't say that the American Christians were doing the killing though.
Maybe it is just that in areas where there is more rampant religion going on, the others get so frustrated and angry that they kill a lot more. Ha ha ha.
But seriously, it could be fallout from religious sexual abuses on other church members, particularly young boys. They will surely grow up to be violent murderers, and guns are easy to get in the US so they shoot a lot of their victims.
We should join the U.S.-eh? [kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

And for most American violent crime, I read, people don't know each other. While in Canada, most people who commit crimes know each other. Could be a hint here where P says ( a Cdn I assume) whacking his girlfriend-because he knows her.
To me, if you stay away from shady types, the bad part of town and don't throw things in people's faces, you will stay quite healthy and avoid violent crime.
Is this a major psychological difference between Canucks and Yanks? Is it true or am I breathing too much Korean air? Is it backed up by any statistics? Or is it anecdotal?

I read a book called Dark Ages of America..
And a documentary, well, more like show made by Michael Moore.
He was interviewing our fellow Canadian and asking whether he was ever robbed before. He answered, "Sure, but they only took some booze and some cigarettes so I don't really worry about it."
He also noted that he didn't lock his door that time and he STILL doesn't.
However, in America, many..many people are obsessed with their locking system and their private security of the house, according to Dark Ages of America.
I know that this is simply an assumption, but, it shows some problems in America.
Obviously, to me, tougher laws don't work.
Social improvement does.
