yes we do.
do you really think america is the only country with a massive drugs problem?!?!?!?
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?
the posts and glean from them what I was stressing.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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??
