My first thought was that it must have to do with the population difference, so I went after
actual ratios

NAME LAND AREA POPULATION MURDER RATIO
Austria 83,858 8,169,929 65 7.9e-6
Canada 9,976,140 31,902,268 165 5.17e-6
France 547,030 59,765,983 255 4.225e-6
United 244,820 59,778,002 68 1.137e-6
Germany 357,021 83,251,851 381 4.57e-6
Japan Tokyo 377,835 126,974,628 39 3.07e-7
United States 9,629,091 280,562,489 11127 3.96e-5

Then I thought to look over 'general' murder rates.

Minimum murder rate in Canada in 2001 663 (2.08 per 100k) (taken from murder rate in BC which
was the lowest of all provinces and territories)

murder rate in USA in 2002 (7.6 per 100k)


I found this site: http://www.fadetoblack.com/bestcountry/best1.htm

I guess we do murder better than anyone! I wonder if any of it has to do with imigration rates
or... I dunno.

The humane in me says, "It's a little sad."
The environmentalist says "Population control."
The Cowboy in me says "Time to get me a better gun to deal with all those nutz out there."

But most of me wants to get off this crazy planet. I'm convinced the only way to save it is
to get rid of 50+% of the population. To do something like that is madness in human terms, but
without radical steps we're all f**ked.

Someone needs a trip in the total perspective vortex.
