cause the freedom in USA is not a logical freedom, people buy guns whenever they want, many families(not all) are corrupt and are missing a family member(mother-father) so they can't exactly show the love and teach them what's good and what's bad!!!
also thanks to the western culture and media which is full of porn and sexual stuff people don't learn much about human and the respect that they have to have to each other...

by the law of averages, south africa has the states beat hands down for one of the highest rape rates inthe world. amazingly this rate really climbed once the women there began to stand up for themselves - now they just have to learn to fight back and practice the art of castration. continue your research and draw a few comparisons with other countries...

More Christians, more guns, more people in prison than anywhere else in the Western world and also more serious crime, hmmm guess we need more Christianity, more guns and more prisons then.
And comparing the US to countries like Sudan doesn't really say much for the US does it.

The US Department of Justice inflates crime statistics to support a national, state and local bureaucracy to demonstrate our "need" for it and to keep us cowed in fear.

Lack of personal responsibility and respect for women is what I tend to believe.

Its not as high compared to other countries but they go unreported in many 3rd world countries because the women are punished for it. Its looked at like its their fault in many countries.
