    using your logic america would have a bigger drugs problem, but it doesnt its roughly the same as europe.

    we have huge areas of cities that are lost to a welfare-drug-culture. the town i grew up in was recently voted the worst place to live in the uk ...[text shortened]... ve drugs you have drugs, so thats not the reason....why else do you have a more violent society?
    I didn't say it was the only country with a massive drug problem, you should read
    the posts and glean from them what I was stressing.

    ive read it a few times now. you seem to be saying america has drug cartels on its door-step that have an invested interest in selling drugs.

    im not sure why you think this makes americans more violent than europeans?

    "do you have a country on your border that grows the drugs"
    Location, location, location...if you were next the source of the issues you faced
    you'd see a lot of effort keeping that source safe from the good guys.

    sorry, youve lost me. we were discussing why you think americans are more violent than europeans. are you saying americans are violent because your neighbors grow drugs?

    You asked why I said drugs, you wanted to compare your drug issue to the
    US, I said when you have a border that is large as ours with a country that
    grows and sells drugs your 'drug' issue will be much worse.

    Again, just having guns is not a cause to shot people, it is the issues that are
    in play that cause it and drugs and other like issues bring this about as drug
    wars occur and so on, people steal to buy and use, the issue isn't guns it is
    the reasons the guns are being used.

    okay, im following you now.


    america has roughly the same levels of drug abuse as great britain.

    http://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/WDR2012/WDR_2012_web_small.pdf

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_cannabis_use_by_country

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_prevalence_of_cocaine_use

    your drug issue is not worse. so that leaves us still looking for a reason as to why americans are supposedly more violent.

    Given the same population density the larger a country is the
    smaller its border per capita. And the US has in fact
    disporoportionately small land borders due to being bounded
    by the Pacific & Atlantic.

    The total US land border is some 1,000 km shorter than the EU's.

    If you were following me now you'd see I have pointed out to you something
    quite different between the two nations. Either you see it and do not want
    to acknowledge it, or your blind to views that do not agree with yours I'm not
    sure which.

    you are stating that america has mexico (i presume you mean mexico rather than canada) on your border and that mexico is producing drugs and selling them in america.

    as great britain has roughly the same amount of drugs per head in the country as the u.s. then we can figure out from this that taking drugs is not the issue.

    so what is the relevance of mexico on your border. are you suggesting people in the u.s. are more violent with each other because of your neighbors.

    obviously, as youve pointed out im not understanding you. but i cant see where you have explained the connection between having a drug producer on your doorstep and a u.s. citizens being violent with each other??

    I've repeated my point to you three times now, you don't want to see it.
