Not all of America, of course. But my cousins in Texas and Florida can't let their teenagers out of the house (one of their best friends was killed) as there is so many paedophiles and the adults can't even walk outside.
And why is there so many serial killers in America. I mean I live in Ireland and even if you were to cancel out the huge difference of population between the 2 nations, America has many times more murders than we do and indeed paedophiles and murderers.
I know its not all of America but Ireland, with over 4 and a half million people, hass never had a proper serial killer. And look at Britian aswell - serial killers are extremely rare, even with a population of over 80 MILLION.

Well America, actually has a population of 280 MILLION!!!!!!
Innocent Americans die everyday by GUNS- which they see as
215 American Adults- 223 MILLION GUNS!! (as of 2004).
However I cannot explain why there is so many serial killers in certain places of America.

Well, the UK has a population of close to 60 million. We have had some serious crime, serial killers and terrible attacks and murders of children.
The big disparity in crime between the UK and the USA is death by gunshot. America has a population of nearly 500 million, and had 11300 deaths by gunshot in 1 year, the UK had 45. There is a ban on owning guns in the UK, whereas it is a right to bear arms in America.
So, if holding a gun is supposed to make Americans feel safe, how come gun Death is so flaming high?

America has class problems. I live in one of the most integrated cities in America (Virginia Beach, Va.) and we have murders, rapes and muggings. Most of the crime is caused by the poor and most on each other. Drugs are easy to get and a major factor for the violent crime.
America has lost the discipline of it's younger generation in the home, schools and in the public. The younger ones have no respect for authority or their elders. We have surrendered to the nonsense that children should never be spanked, they should be treated as equals and never allowed to fail. They grow up thinking that life owes them a right to happiness and prosperity. Many cannot handle real world situations and turn that frustration on society. Many of our children have only one parent so they do not have chance to see how to handle everyday situations that require thoughtful solutions.

Maybe because your cousins are ghetto trash and live in the worst part of town. You're an idiot. If it's so bad, why don't they leave? Exactly. They are probbaly just exaggerating how dangerous it is so they sound tough.

Dangers are everywhere even where you live.
Societies have its own problems.
Media have given you reasons to have fear.
But Europe is as dangerous as those places in America.

Unlike you we don't have a national health care system which would spot and treat these disturbed individuals before trouble happens.
