There are all sorts of links. Take it from a foreigner who lives in the USA: crime doesn't appear nearly as bad as the British seem to think, and I live in one of the biggest cities in the world (NYC). When I compare it to Moscow and Russia in general, it's like walking through heaven here.

I have been to the UK. I didn't spend long there, yet it only took me that long to get a real taste for your youth.

In many areas of crime the UK is worse than the US.

where in the U.S.?

you guys are thinking that gun violence is evenly spread out throughout america, which isn't true. there are some states up north that are safer than any european country.

Well i just find it dumb, im asian, altho i cant speak arabic its dumb. Its like saying u walk away from every black man because he may shoot you, or every english man because he may be drunk and doesnt support the same team as you...

Once again i may seem racism but i generally dont tend to talk to asain's, muslim's or coloured people (is that the right saying?)

Its the way i've been brought up with my family, im no were near as bad as my family. But its life.

I think thats unfair to say. What if a Welsh person came to live in England. Would you expect them only to ever speak Welsh in their own home?! I know you are entitled to your opinion, and thats yours - this is mine. Not every muslim is a terrorist.

Its not the same with Welsh people, there not "known" to blow up buldings, plans ect. I personally blame the media for saying "asain's, muslims will blow anything they can" [:

But you are basing the whole Muslim community on a very small percentage of people who do terrorise us. Its not just Muslims who can be terrorists.

I know, English people can too but its just 'classed' as muslims who are the major terrorists. Once again i blame the media but its the way i am i guess.

it's totally different though, we would be able to understand them if they were irish (to an extent..) plus, they wouldn't halt the whole underground, they would just halt sections of it more than likely, just like they only grounded one plane.

Exaclty they didnt close the airport ect.

i'll admit it I do get nervous around these kinds of people at the airport, I think everyone stereotypes deep down.... but i'm just surprised she actually reported it... and it actually got grounded.
