the crime rates are so different. I mean you guys have an attitude that differs from Brits, not bad (I actually like it), bolder, but not murderous or anything that I think would cause a huge discrepency in crime rates. Do you have any ideas on why those rates are so different. It is easy for somebody from a gun prohibition state to say it's guns. It's also easy to say it isn't guns. I just wonder what you think the reason is?
So um, I'm hoping I don't get in trouble for posting this ........
It's very un-pc and not remotely safe for work or viewing anywhere around children. It's part of a video series I was discussing with friends.
Obviously not all violent crime is caused by the people portrayed in this film but the film and series it is part of glorify everything most people hold near and dear. Life. Safety. Lives that don't revolve around drugs and senseless violence. It is this lifestyle which has, somehow, become pervasive in major urban areas in the US that gives way to a lot of our violent crime. Not the mass murders. Those seem to mostly be a middle class problem.

Don't say I didn't want you but here's the link to "Hood Life 3" on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5MGJ...e_gdata_player
