Actually the crime rate in GB has skyrocketed since the British people
were disarmed and lost the ability to defend themselves.
When the citizens are armed crime plummets

Crime in Australia skyrocketed too when the Citizens (decent Citizens)
over there were disarmed. www.jacksoncrime.org

Good thing we are still armed. You don't see much crime in the U.S.

Scotland the Brave ?

A UNITED Nations report has labelled Scotland the most violent
country
in the developed world, with people three times more likely to be
assaulted than in America.
England and Wales recorded the second highest number of violent
assaults while Northern Ireland recorded the fewest.

I completely agree that Scotland has a serious problem with
violence. However, it is not the most dangerous place to be. Most of
the assaults reported are amongst gangs; basically people who choose
to be in a certain place at a certain time. That is not to say there
aren't people who get mugged etc. However, the murder rate is much
lower than many other "western" nations. England has more than its
share of problems too.

Anyway, the UN report was based on a telephone poll conducted over
5 years ago! Not the best indicator of what is happening now, and
definately not the "big picture".
Scotland is a welcoming place for visitors. Few see problems with
violence. Many return to experience the hospitality. I have had many
drunken nights out in Glasgow (apparently the worst city) without
incident over the last couple of years.

There are curfews in some towns over here because of hurricane Katrina
and hurricane Rita.Otherwise,you can go into any towns in U.S.A.at any
time of the day and night.There are Pubs here in Jackson too,but they
all seem safe enough.I do my beer drinking at home because that is my
preference.There are four or five stripclubs in Jackson too and they
also sell booze,but I haven't been to any of them yet and I probally
wont either,at my age,I am not too interesting in looking at them
wimmins stripping,although they are topless clubs only.I prefer to be at
home before it gets dark because that has always been my preference.

You seem able to read all sorts of things into my posts. I will give
you credit for a vivid imagination.
I do not live in fear, I am well able to take care of my self. The

Take a look at how Europeans view the United States of America.I AGREE
with Gary Schneider.In World War Two,Americans were getting weary of
War,they wanted it to end.roosevelt gave Eastern Europe to the Russians
(he screwed up big time by doing that,go find a picture of the Yalta
Conference) but there was NO way America was going to allow the Russians
to have all of Europe!,, namely Western Europe (I know why,do you?) and
the lower Countries.General George Patton was Right,we should have gone
to WAR with Russia! I still have an old World War Two Ration Card from
our old home place in Carthage,Mississippi from back in those years.

Unfortuneately for Mr Scotland as Utopia:

Jamieson vows to tackle violence
The justice minister has repeated her pledge to tackle the
"booze and blade culture" after a survey pointed to a high
level of violence in Scotland.
The UN survey said that people in Scotland were most likely
to be the victims of assault.


Cathy Jamieson said Scotland remained a safe place and she
would continue to try to reduce the crime rate.


Responding to criticism of the study, a UN researcher said
the findings were likely to be repeated in a new survey.


Ms Jamieson told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme:
"I don' t think we want to give a message within Scotland or
even beyond Scotland that this a place where it's not safe to
walk the streets and that people are routinely being
attacked, because that's simply not people's experience.


"We do know from recorded crime figures that crimes of
violence, apart from those with a sexual element, have
dropped.


It's highly unlikely that we will find that England, Wales
and Scotland are no longer on top in Europe for this
particular type of crime
Jan Van Dijk
Head of analysis


"But we also know that in some parts of Scotland there is
what's been described as the booze and blade culture where
young men in particular are involved in violence that is
completely unacceptable."


The international study was based on telephone interviews
conducted between 1991 and 2000.


It suggested that 3% of people in Scotland had suffered an
assault, with England and Wales second highest at 2.8%.


Fife Chief Constable Peter Wilson, the president of the
Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (Acpos)
criticised the report and insisted that the general
perception of Scotland was "not one of a violent country".


He questioned whether useful comparisons could be drawn
between various countries with differing reporting practices,
including the US, Poland and Japan.


However, Jan Van Dijk, head of analysis at the UN Inter-
regional Crime and Justice Research Institute, defended the
study and said the findings looked set to be repeated when
the results of a new study were published on 14 November.


He said: "It's highly unlikely that we will find that
England, Wales and Scotland are no longer on top in Europe
for this particular type of crime. "It's my experience that
the levels of common crime don't change so much in the course
of just a few years.


"These are fairly stable patterns and it has been obvious for
many years that the level of violence, not necessarily
homicides but ordinary violence, has been comparatively
elevated in the United Kingdom."
